The process of Standard Tracking
-
Advertisers simply need to insert the relevant tracking code on the confirmation page of your website or online offering. This contains the tracking pixel, which tracks whether a website visitor sees, clicks and buys.
-
When a customer views the ad.
The user visits the publisher website. As soon as the ad containing the tracking code is displayed, a cookie is dropped in a file on the visitor’s computer. This contains the publisher ID, advertiser ID and the number of the ad, but no personal data. You can monitor and track impressions and see which advertiser ads have been viewed on which publisher websites on the affilinet network.
Please note: You can monitor and track impressions, but not must or should.
-
When a customer clicks the ad
A customer click is immediately registered on the affilinet platform. The existing cookie is updated with additional information, such as a click time stamp. The user is also immediately redirected to the advertiser website.
-
When a customer completes purchase or registers
If the visitor then goes completes a purchase on the advertiser website or perform another action (such as registering to receive more information) this is registered on the affilinet interface, which will then determine where the user came from (i.e. which publisher and website) and the time of the click from the tracking cookie on the computer of the user. On completion of the transaction, the advertiser site forwards information to the affilinet interface specifying the level of commission to be paid to the publisher and other parameters, such as the order number and payment model used.
-
Publisher receives payment
As an advertiser you will need to confirm the successful purchase transaction of the shopper to ensure the relevant publisher’s account is then credited with commission for the transaction.
Advertiser (not us, we are the Publisher) must send an action to affilinet in the confirmation or thank you page of the order system. At least one affilinet tracking pixel / beacon needs to be integrated. With the Advertiser Container the different tracking script solutions are integrated into a universal, scalable tracking script solution, prepared for future enhancements. The Advertiser Container replaces the old tracking implementations via IMG pixel.

Importing Vouchers with code
Scraping from other sites:
$url = 'http://frxcvee.com';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 5);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
$out = curl_exec($ch);
$url = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL);
curl_close($ch);
echo $url;
I tried with SaaS to detect page changes, but that was not reliable or elegant enough.
