I'm in need of a way to track referrals to my email newsletter.
I want to run a contest, where the members refer friends to the website. When the friends join the newsletter, the member gets credit.
Ultimately, I need to track referrals and completed joins, and I don't want to make people sign up or register to participate - they are already on my email list, so they should be able to simply forward the email to their contacts.
I'm using aweber and the site runs on wordpress... any ideas?
(myfreepaysite comes to mind. Affiliates promote "http://www.myfreepaysite.com?aid=trackingid" and all submissions are tracked, along with completed signups, etc.
If I had a custom php page, I could tell my users to forward the email, which would contain a link like this: http://www.mysite.com/refer-contest.php?referid={
[email protected]}. aweber allows me to use custom inputs...
meh. Help.)
