I know this is an ancient topic... but I do not really understand the sentence:
If you change the XXXX part, the tracking will not be accurate since this information is automatically read from the NetRefer database.
Can I use zid for my internal needs (I'm an affiliate)? Or can I use some other parameter?
For example you get this link generated from Netrefer:
Code:
http://ads.mrgreen.com/redirect.aspx?pid=1234567&bid=1234&lpid=1234
PID, BID and LPID are quite obvious and you can use PID to track your sources (e.g. two websites) after you set them in the affiliate backend.
What if I did:
Code:
http://ads.mrgreen.com/redirect.aspx?pid=1234567&bid=1234&lpid=1234&zid=3
For example I have three groups of visitors (grouped by traffic source, or by device or browser or anything else... Group 1, group 2 and group 3.
I want to be able to pass this number somehow into the affiliate statistics. I know Income Access can do this using the AID, is Netrefer similar?
