Can anyone explain the referall trackers to me? I understand that someone has to sign up on the link you created.within 30 days of creating the link...and if they don't sign up with someone else first, you get a certain percentage, but what if they sign up on another tracker and then yours...do you get anything....and my trackers show the number of page views, but hubs...is 0...traffic to hubs is 0 and so is everything else.....why?
You only get the referral if your tracker is active when they sign up.
Hubs is the amount of hubs published by your referrals.
The traffic is the number of people to click your tracker. The traffic to hubs is traffic to hubs by your referrals.
I don't think someone has to sign up within 30 days of creating the link. I think they have to sign up within 30 days of the first time they click one of your referral links.

Referral Trackers - Why does my traffic to hubs say zero?I always use the link at the bottom of the page and attach a tracker code when I share others pages; which I do share on my social media accounts often. However, it says that I have zero traffic to hubs in my referral tracker page. Is that...
