I was recently on a forum, lets call it thecomputerdesk.com.

A friend posted a link to which people can talk to "Experts at Currys" about their products and ask for advice etc.

I was talking to someone using this service, I asked him a question regarding a processor and after about 1 minute, his reply was

Quote:

I see that you have come to us through the computer desk, so I don't believe that you are a genuine visitor. I am now going to end this chat.

How did he know where I got the link?

Re: Tracking

page referrer id. It's a way to check where the link was that took you to that page. In this case it showed up that the link you clicked wasn't on the curry's site

Re: Tracking

Sorry, but the reply from the Currys "expert" was just rude.
