Email campaign + redirects + referrers?

jcaldwell89 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-07-2008, 02:04 AM

I'm running an email campaign that redirects off of a site I'm hosting. Is this generally viewed as OK with CPA networks, when the offer is Email only? Or do I HAVE to post the link they give me in the email?

Also.. is there a way to redirect off of my page AND show the original referrers too? I'm using a meta refresh now, but the majority of the clicks are showing up as "no referrer". Will this be OK with the CPA network? If not, how can I setup a redirect that will actually show the refferer? I'd rather it show all of the email pages as the referrer, as to not raise any suspicion.

Thanks.

hey that method of redirect should be perfectly fine with most CPA networks IMO and I have used the same method in the past with no problems from sponsors.

If you need solid BP hosting for your email campaigns, let me know ;]

use php/perl script.. in php

Code:

 <? header("Location: http://affiliate/url"); ?>

in perl

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type:text/htmln";
print "Location: http://affiliate/urlnn";

that will display your referer..

.htaccess redirect will also pass the referrer through
