Anybody else getting "favicon.ico" incorrectly set as a subid? Weird
I'm promoting an offer, and it is only showing on the networks subid report. The subid's that get passed from me to the network are supposed to be numbers. But for some crazy reason, what is getting passed to them is favicon.ico. What I can tell is that most of my traffic is coming from people on a mobile browser. I can't figure out how to trace this strange happening.
Here's my flow. I'm using prosper202 to track. This particular network hands subid's by allowing me to put a /subid on the end of my link. So, If my link is affiliatenetwork/myID/subid they will send back that same subid to me. Of course, p202 only deals with a numerical subid so this fails at my end. However, I can most of my conversions on the network are attributed to a favicon.ico subid.
I have some PHP programming in place that formats the link going to my network so that I can put the subid at the end of the offer url. Somehow or another, my traffic is sending favicon to my network.
I have no clue how to fix this.
