CB TID length

by BlueHulk Banned

Hey;

1 - Does it matter what's the length of TID? I understand the max length is 24 characters. I was wondering if it's a good idea to do this:

PHP Code:
echo  = time().rand(1000,3); 
Thoughts?

2 - Is this link correct?

3 - It looks like as a test sale cb doesn't send back tid!

    Have you tried asking CB support?

      IMO, it's best to keep the tracking code as short as possible. What I did for many years is use just 4 letters in sequence, ie AAAA, AAAB, AAAC .... BAAA, BAAB, BAAC ... etc. Every traffic source was assigned a tracking code, and it can be as simple as cross-indexing weblogs with a spreadsheet. You can easily set up your TID when generating your affiliate link from the marketplace.

    This is a good idea. I used to use initials like - "WF1" would be my first Warrior forum link.
