Hi
I have been picking my brains for hours trying to figure this out:
What I am trying to acheive is recruit my friends to get aweber subscribers on my website. However, I am not sure how I will be able to track that the people were recruited by the particular friend of mine. Is there any way of doing this?
For example giving my friend a link such as websitename.com/subscribe=ref1234 which will then input his referral code into the aweber form so that when I check subscribers in aweber at the end of the month I can see that he sent X amount of people to me.
I dont want to have to make a different form for each recruitee or a different web page as that would be very long to do!
I am using wordpress if that helps figure anything out.
Thanks
I don’t know of this functionality built into aweber. If I were going to track this, I would do it on my server site.com/?aff=123 and then set a cookie/session/whatever tracking you want and then have site.com/thankyou.php and have it read the cookie and connect the cookie/session/ip/whatever to aff=123
edit: clarify. thankyou should be where a user is sent after they signup for mailing list on aweber.
Hi
Thanks for the info, Sounds like that will do the job.
I have no experience in this… do you know anyone that might be able to set this up for me?

And also… Could I integrate/use it with this… http://idevspot.com/PhpAffiliate.php ?
you need a different script, an affiliate script that is. The aweber tracking only tracks number of subscribers to your site (I think) and not a script to track who refers who…
