~ Guide To Getting Credit ~

[SwedishTom]

Found this guide made by a Freebie Owner, thought it may be useful. I would say these also goes for any site you sign up to, especially if you are going to do a Tickle Offer, but lately I have been doing this for any offer I do. Please bear in mind this is just a guide and each and one of us may do it differently, but for anyone new I would suggest to follow it just to be on the safe side.

And even if I would prefer to use Firefox, I have lately started to do all offers in Internet Explorer since it seems to be tracking better then Firefox..

1: Before logging into a site, ALWAYS clear your cookies. This is the MAIN problem regarding not getting credit. If you have not cleared your cookies and you have clicked the offer elsewhere you will get credit there instead of on the site you want it.

2: ALWAYS use Internet Explorer or Firefox. Other browsers have known issues with crediting.

3: ALWAYS make sure your cookies are on the lowest setting to accept them all.

And last but not least, if you do not get credit, you need to understand that it is NOT the fault of the site you did it on. This goes for anywhere you do an offer. When you do an offer, if you don't get credit, it is because something on your end did not go correctly. That is why it is VITAL to make sure the above things are done, otherwise you are seriously risking your chances of not getting credit. Hope this clears things up for some people who have been having problems!

Hope this will make things easier for us all!

[GafferTape]

Bah. Didn't do point 4. Cool guide though!

[Marky Mark]

Just showed my mate and she was like damn I got so much anti-virus software e.t.c., she didn't go green

DISABLE ANY antivirus, spyware, firewalls, or ad checking software.

That has to be some rubbish advice, disabling your firewall wont affect how cookies are stored, and only opens up your pc for the potential to be attacked/hacked

I would say always use IE - Firefox sometimes doesn't seem to track properly.

i never done anything with point 4. only one of my something like 10 tickles aint been credited but i dont think it was my fault.

[SwedishTom]

Removed point 4 since it actually don't make much sense as Jon has pointed out..

Cheers
Tom

[Amanda]

Since both you and I have said it, plus a few other people (not in this thread, but I have heard it before), I would also edit point 2 to say only use internet explorer!

[Jon]

Ive not had any problems at all with firefox

point 4 did have a point with the anti banner software/popup blocker etc, but antivirus and firewall wont affect if a offer credits or not (some anti virus packages do include anti ad banner software which can affect things, its easy to add free gift sites to a filter so it ignores these)

[mozfadz]

Firefox has always worked fine for me! My last two haven't been credited but don't think it was firefox!

[djsyco]

Dude if it wasnt for u i would be down da toilet now because i was about to do mine in an un-named browser! thanx

[chigley]

Yeah I use IE for offers, makes tracking easier!
