Hi Guys
I’m very interested in this thread because we could add the referrer url of where a player was delivered from without too much trouble. We already collect this data so our main concern is how best to display it.
Currently on our player stats you can see the games the player has been playing by hovering your mouse over their account number. What we are thinking of doing is also adding the referrer url to that information, so after the game play charts you would see ‘delivered from: http://www.domain.com/page.htm’.
The main problem with collecting the referrer url data is that in many cases there is no data to collect. Banner and click tracking software often use redirects which can lead to no referrer url data being collected. Similarly if an affiliate pops one of our casinos up on their website and a player downloads and plays, there will be no referrer url information as the popup was the start of the user’s session.
In these cases though we could just display a ‘no referrer url information availble’ message and make it clear that it’s not always possible to obtain referrer url information.
What do you guys think?
Best regards,
Tim Whyles
