Thank you for your help, you are very professional to solve my question, but I still have a question.it depends on 2 things:
- how powerful the tracking service / program / script that the advertiser (or you, depending on who has access to that script) uses is, and what data it logs (most tracking services on the market today log more information than you know what to do with, so in this regard everything should be good)
- whether or not you (or whoever places the affiliate link on pages) cloak and / or redirect the URL. I'm not very knowledgeable on how cloaking and redirections work and how they happen, but I know for sure that one of these 2 is responsible for the full or partial displaying of the links.
So, if you don't cloak and you don't use redirections, whoever clicks on the affiliate link will be able to see 100% the entire URL (including the affiliate code). If cloaking and / or redirections are used... well, it depends on how well the affiliate links are cloaked or redirected I guess
no idea what meta refresh is (technology is not my strong point), so I can't help further I'm afraid. But maybe someone else can chime in...Thank you for your help, you are very professional to solve my question, but I still have a question.
If I use meta refresh to hide the traffic referrer of affliate link, and the redirect link is www.xxx.com/xx/, will the advertiser see the referrer is Blank or www.xxx.com/xx/ or www.xxx.com it?
I see many posts that meta refresh is emptying the traffic referrer, but I can see the referrer is www.xxx.com instead of Blank when I use https://whatsmyreferer.com/ to test, very strange.
Sorry my English is not very good. :|
