I have an account with findwhat, and im just using their basic php script for retreiving results, basically just lets you put in a keyword and it will display results, nothing too fancy.
Anyhow, Alot of the traffic sent to them is showing up as no refferer, Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks!

the findwhat ppc clicks?
I use source strings for all ppc campaigns
www.example.com?source=fw1
www.example.com?source=fw2
and so on, then I use those to track specific campaigns. Referers are not very reliable, sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't.
In my findwhat stats, It is showing that alot of the traffic I am sending to them are not showing refferer, thus not counting. Im trying to figure a way to capture the refferer and make sure it is sent to them, so that I can get paid for every click
Example:
I send 1000 clicks, They see 1000 clicks
But, only 900 of those 1000 clicks show my domain as the referer, the other 100 are not showing me as a refferer for whatever reason..

There are a variety of reasons for this including privacy protection software, proxies, search engine bots, etc...
There is no way to retreive the referrer data and send it to them because, for all intents and purposes, it doesn't exist.
