PHP Affiliate Marketing System

Question

I'm trying to set up a system that allows members of my web site to fill out surveys or offers through affiliate links, and then reward the member's profile with points for completing the survey (assuming the survey is correctly completed). These points will be used to purchase prizes on my web site.

My question is: Once the user successfully fills out a survey/offer, how can I tell my web site that the user completed the survey so that I can credit them the points?

I need to write a script that bridges communication between the survey host and my web site.

Does anyone have an idea on how to do this?

Answer 1

One option would be to include a tracker embedded in the page that is shown at the end of the affiliate survey. I'm sure you can find more info on that by googling it and searching around SO, but here's a page that explains the basics: http://rmb-scripting.com/tutorials.php?tutorial&tid=394
