well, failure to track has never happened from my own confirmed sign ups (personal referrals)
perhaps you can post your link so we can study it?
I have a similar problem
Mine will track to the 'Hubpage' but says I dont exist??
Do you mind if I post mine here for you to check ,thankyou
Ok with me but I am not the "boss". You could always email Maddie.
Go for it. I can always snip it afterwards.
sorry, just back online here is how I did my sign up

thanks Maddie
You're sending traffic to a page that doesn't exist.
This is the page to send sign ups:
http://hubpages.com/user/new/ (you'll need to be logged out to see the page properly)
So this is how you'd add your tracker:
http://hubpages.com/_3jjbvcfwmgmef/user/new/
We've created a page where you can check what tracker you have set, and clear it if you want. If you are helping a friend sign up for HubPages, you can use this page to make sure that they are tracked to you. Links with trackers that are posted in the HubPages forum and in requests are not honored (they will not be set), as we don't allow promotion or affiliate links in those areas of the site.
Question ( oh surprise) lol ..why will my tracker expire within 4 weeks ,all I want is to be able to use it sign up so hopefully friends and family will sign up under my name ...but if its going to disappear whats the use?
Trackers never expire, but the cookie that is set in a person's browser after they click on your link will only remain set for 30 days. If they signup during that time, they will be associated with you as long they haven't clicked on someone else's tracker link in the interim.

I was wondering...on the "credit" for people signing up to write on Hub Pages .. I'd like to clarify some things.First, may I presume that there is no issue of "credit" if that person does not sign up for ad sense and HP ad program?Second, if the ad programs are not required,...

How can I refer people to HubPages? Is it possible to get credit for a referral?
by Rochelle Frank 16 years ago
Specifically -- how do we invite prospective hubbers to sign up (to our credit, if possible). Is there some kind of clicker or button or other sign up tool that credits us as a referral? I thought there was...
