What's the difference between PID and SID?

    Another noob questions, but what's the difference between PID and SID?

    And where do you find SID?

    Your PID is your Publisher ID - you get a different one for each domain that you've added to your CJ account.

    The SID is a variable in the url that you can use to identify where the click came from. Let's say you're running a PPC campaign for Blue Widgets, you could set the SID to 'bluewidgets'.

    I use subdomains for my eBay stores, and use the SID to identify which subdomain the click has come from... e.g 'my_ipod_store' or 'my_car_store' etc...

    example rover link with SID:
    http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/xxxxx/x?SID=my_ipod_store&AID=123456789&PID=123456789...
    Code (markup):
    You can of course just leave the SID blank if you don't need nitty gritty tracking :)

    SID is just for tracking purpose
    Kerosene to track lead came from which subdomain you can add all sub domains in your websites manager on cj.
    in that you can track using pid
    SID is used to track each visitor
    you can generate SID code dynamically using a form. like you can use form no. so that you can know which customer was lead and which was just a click.
    you can use SID to give incentives to your visitors

    You don't wanna know how many subdomains I'm using :p :) It would be a nightmare having a separate PID for each one.

    Until you know what you are speaking about... I think you would be best served learning from Kerosene, as opposed to trying to teach.

    Check out his post count... and then look at yours.....;)

    :D

    i am not trying to teach Kerosene we are just sharing knowledge

    you are talking about posts
    for that he is member since more than 2 years and i have recently joined

    i was just telling what i know

    for "are you using free hosts"
    for that i was trying to get some knowledge that we can earn from cj using free hosts by creating samesites on different hosts

    and who are you to say me anything??????????
    if you don't understand what i am talking than just keep quite don't try to increase your post counts and earn revenue from your adsense :mad:

    Actually Adsense is my lowest paying source of revenues.

    I've made over $7,000.00 in the last 17 days in paypal though...but that is not from Adsense.

    Lastly to prove my point on your not knowing what you speak of....in order to earn Adsense revenues you need to be the person who starts the thread....

    So you and I are earning swollenpickles adsense revenue if he has the feature enabled.

    Be well...

    Heres the deal....you've been slacking...

    You've been here over 500 days and are averaging under two posts per day.

    You're going to need to start 25 threads per day and get people to reply to those thread continually add infinitely, then continue this trend for the next 25 months.

    There might be easier ways but I'm selling those for $1,000.00 a pop :D

    ;)

    i know but the thing is, I very rarely have anything worth while to say! In that case two posts a day is pretty freakin good for me!
