Is there a limit to the actual length of the number you encrypt? Cause when I feed it the number 4354467891 it decrypts to 4354467887. Using a number like 1234567890 works perfectly, same number of digits, just not as high a value. I know you could encypt smaller numbers and construct a sting, but I just trying to use one big number, and after decrypting, then split it into its sub-parts as needed, but that big 10 digit number (4354467891) does not decode properly. Any ideas? Thanks. I believe there is a limit or either a bug in this code. Is there a limit to the actual length of the number you encrypt?

Basically the click would get recorded as a row inside of the db then you'd have the link or bounce to the affiliate link replace that row number with the subid. Then pull your conversion reports from your affiliate company. Match the conversion subid's with the row's and you have nice click tracking for all your data. I did a full tutorial on my site if anyone is interested in finding more about this. Some nice stuff you can find with click tracking is 1. fraud, as you track ip,source,referer. For example on yahoo I got a ton of clicks from some domainer site. all 15 minutes apart. for about 2 days. Of course not one converted. 2. see what words are converting. 3. track referers so you can parse the referer strings and get the actual queriest people used out of them. To add to your keyword list. 4. When you get more advanced you can dump in your click data by tracking click id's and then get an exact ROI calc and adjust bids accordingly. Those are just a few thing it can help you with. Easiest thing to do is test a nice bounce page. As typically you don't want the affiliate company or advertiser tracking your referers ( yes they do that ) and keywords. Make sure you meta refresh them to the destination as this will most of the time strip out all the referers data. Well you get the point :D http://www.oooff.com if you want to take a look at the tutorial. I don't run ads on my site as I don't generate income from it. It's just there to hopefully help people makes some more money :D Success, Smaxor Taking this one step further. if you want to do a little click tracking direct to a db then you can record all the data of the click besides price, but then go back and match later from reports.

This information is passed in CJ by adding "sid=" to the end of your link and in AzoogleAds by adding "sub=" to the end of your link. All affiliate networks have this function and many affilaites pass their keyword data through it. Phil – If you are sending tracking data to the merchant, they can see it.

Everyone should try very hard to protect their affiliate websites. Someone can easily hack in and place their own code in it for themselves. :grin: I agree.

Anytime you are passing data to the merchant (such as subids) or display data in your URL strings, there is the potential for other people to access it. By encrypting it with a system such as this, there is no way anyone can make sense of it. Warrior – this doesn’t have anything to do with PayPal :?:
