My points are not updating

Posted by cdgeorge on Fri, 04/28/2006 - 14:12Counter Troubleshooting

I have started by setting up a simple web page with a button at www.direfox.com. I have put the Firebox button in place and my affiliate id is in the code (view source to see).

I tested to see if the points would update by 'one' simply by clicking on my button from my workplace (a unique location) which successfully redirects; but the points are still at Zero??

What else do I need to do?

Somebody else must click your button, then they will go up :)

...yes I know this, I acted as someone else by being at my workplace.

I hope this may help.

 
You mention a workplace,  well your workplace may be using a proxy server, this may mean that multiple computers may actually be using the same Internet Protocol Address (IP address)

the anti-gaming feature on the affiliates program will only allow one click through from one IP address each 24 hours.

(goes away to check your site)

After taking a quick look, I see the problem is that your HTML code has an affiliate ID of zero this must be your member number, just mouse over your username on any page and look in your status bar to see your member number.
