BANS, Your PID and Recording Sales

    If you have BANS installed on your website, shirts.com and setup a PID for this URL through CJ...you have everything running smoothly.

    My question is... if you install BANS on your other domain, pants.com, and use the same PID, will your clicks/sales be recorded properly?

    The reason I ask is that each URL you setup seems to get its own PID. I wonder if they see that the referer is not the URL you setup with this PID so they don't pay you for it.

    I setup a handful of BANS sites and right now Im using all the same PID and sales figures are slim to none right now. I'm trying to rule this out as a possibility and tally it up to me needing to promote the sites more.

    Setup different PID, you want to see which website are performing better so you can focus your promotion.

    Thanks, and I realize this. I will be doing that soon, I am just wondering if someone could care less about stats and they used the same PID... would they get paid?

    Yes you will still get paid but you should start off on the right foot and create the proper channels. It's very hard to go back later and fix them when you decide you want correct stats. I learned the hard way ;)

    You will get paid. However, I believe your clicks will NOT show up in their traffic reports. As mentioned above, this is valuable info that you will want at some point.
