Rude Conversion and Hits

Ok I used tiny url to change my referral link and I promoted my rude url. My tiny url got 18 hits in 10 minutes and rude says I got 0 hits. How does this work? Must I create a landing page or what. My referral link im using is the one that takes them right to the join page. Could that be the problem? should I direct them to a different page? any help will be appreciated. I can get the traffic but I need to know how to set it up so Im doing this right so I get paid

 

Firstly i would register a .co.cc domain. They are free, then re-direct your .co.cc domain to your rude page. Then promote.
I think the stats you have now in tinyurl are created by bots and spiders...

 

dunno man. rude stats are shady..I know 30 people who have joined but my stats show 18 hits...The hits would've been around 100 I think...I am sure alot of people are having problems with rude at the moment..

 

I have no problem with bit.ly... everything is proper and without any glitches. Try it out.

 

hm havent had any real trouble with rude =/ normally get a 1:3 conversion rate

 

I got the same experience, i send 1000 hits from trafficholder but the stats showing something like 120+.

 

I sent ~ 2k to rude and it showed just 700. I took my traffic elsewhere

 

tinyurl is known to steal commissions

Your better of buying a .info and frame rude on that or just redirect the traffic.

 

I had a blogger blog that I filled up with banners. No text just banners. I spammed the blog url all over the place. You get a way better CTR after they see the banners. I used bit.ly to cloak the links but then Danny (previous rude am manager) told me that it wasn't really part of the terms and conditions but then I showed him the blog and then he ok'd it.
