Hi, I have just installed Affiliate Tracker on localhost (Denwer). I created an affiliate user and tried to visit local site with his affiliate link with a help of another browser. And I saw no Refferals. So there are my questions:
1. Refferals are checked by their IP, isn't it?. My IP was the same -127.0.0.1 - so it were no new Refferals.
2. If Refferal comes to the real site (non-local) for two times from the same IP, but uses at the first time, for example, Mozilla and for the second visit - Chrome browser. Will be it written two different Refferals or only one to base?
3. User have a dinamic IP. He came to a site from two different browsers and 2 different IPs, but the same computer. How many Refferals will be written to base - one or two?

Hello,
1. no. what is checked is the visit, in case it contains the "?atid=1" part. that will get tracked. but only the FIRST time for the same user (if you visit again with the same browser, it won't count twice)
2. in this case, it will consider 2 visits, unless the user is REGISTERED. in that case it will count 1 only.
3. 2. the IP doesn't matter. what matters is the cookie set in the browser.
