Hi Spear,
Steve says:
quite a mess I’ve started huh?
Ted says:
hey steve
Ted says:
lol
Ted says:
no mess
Ted says:
the aff managers better own up
Steve says:
can you make heads or tails of it all? I’m very confused and most of all .. wondering if its a cause to be concerned about in respect to tracking
Steve says:
have you seen the % stuff that comes up that I was talking about?
Ted says:
gimme a sec while I look
Ted says:
well, i didn’t see that % stuff
Ted says:
and a clickthrough looked perfectly normal
Steve says:
if you visit http://www.gamblingwhales.com/approved_casinos.htm and mouse over the link gambling club you should see it
Ted says:
i did
Steve says:
and didn’t see the % stuff?
Ted says:
no
Steve says:
hmmm
Steve says:
perhaps a browser matter? I’m using the newer version of IE … I think
Ted says:
without showing me what it really was, I would have to assume that it translated to a special character – for example space would be %20
Steve says:
should that make a difference in tracking?
Ted says:
depends on how their system works
Ted says:
but usually, no
Steve says:
ok, thanks. this is all so far over my head I’m almost sorry I started it. specially if its not going to show up in some people’s browsers.
Ted says:
it’s probably || that caused %xx%xx
Ted says:
i’m using IE, what are you using?
Steve says:
same. the newest version I think
Ted says:
lol i’m on 6 at home
Ted says:
7 on the notebook at the office
Steve says:
what you on now?
Ted says:
6
Steve says:
could explain the difference
Ted says:
can you mouseover and tell me what the % stuff says?
Steve says:
yes, just a sec
Steve says:
this is what comes up extra
Steve says:
%7C%7C
Ted says:
yup
Ted says:
almost surely the ||
Ted says:
if you do a search for %7C in google, what comes up?
Steve says:
have to check, just a sec
Ted says:
lol that didn’t work
Steve says:
Did you mean: %7C7C
