how to make Referrers (not from a website)

[steven]

i want to make links for specific people who works with me regardless the source
can i make a link like mydomain.com/?=firstexample.com
i have "URL" and 'Referrer' how to use them 

to explain more i get traffic already from twitter but i need to make specific links like how i mentioned above to count for this person

This is possible, but the referrer should be passed in some parameter with predefined name, e.g.:

http://yourdomain.com?ref=firstexample.com

Then you should go to Settings -> Website settings and add ref into one of dynamic HTTP parameters. This will mean that any visitor who comes using the above link will have firstexample.com saved to their session as a ref value. This value will be persisted between all pages of user navigation.

Then on your site you can use %ref% token anywhere you want to print the "firstexample.com" value. For example you can put a link like this:

<a href="https://%ref%">Title</a>

which will be replaced with

<a href="https://firstexample.com">Title</a>

However in dynamic HTTP parameter you need to also specify some default domain name for it, for the cases when users come to your site without ref parameter. In this case your default value will be printed instead of "firstexample.com".

will this be counted in stats !!
i will use this to let people work for me, he will publish my links but i will use random domain to identify him like agent777.com
i won't get traffic from this domain but just to identify so how can i check stats about that ?

If you need this to be counted in stats under a specific referrer you need to create a referrer in KVS stats section for this.

i hope you can understand me, i have 3 people now working to get me traffic from x.com so how to count for them separately ?

They should use different ref parameters when putting links to your site.

For example when posting your videos on x.com one of them should use:

https://www.kvs-demo.com/video/375/kyle-evans-love-u-tonight/?ref=xxxx

and another should use:

https://www.kvs-demo.com/video/375/kyle-evans-love-u-tonight/?ref=yyyy

Then in Stats -> Add referrer you need to create 2 referrers:

1) Referrer: ref=xxxx

2) Referrer: ref=yyyy

Then visitors with ref=xxxx in your site URLs will be counted under the first referrer, and visitors with ref=yyyy in your site URLs will be counted under the 2nd referrer. They can put these links anywhere, not necessary on x.com, the connection will be done via ref parameter that they put in the URL.

like this ?
because it doesn't count visits !

Yes, but normally you would like to change xxx with some meaningful value, e.g. ref=kel if this is his name or other kind of identifier.
