PHP Coder Needed

Hi, I am opening up a humor site. (http://www.funnyroad.com) I have an idea for a section of the site that would allow me to get more visiters.

The system basically, is that a person can sign up, and they will get a unique address to the main site. (ie. http://www.funnyroad.com/ref=USERNAME) or something like that. And, they will try and refer people to visit the main site. (They do not have to sign up, they just have to visit.) I only want it to count a person the first time they click a link, so 1 person can't click a link 15 times a day. But, I want it so that 1 person can click a refferal link 1 day, click it again the next day, and it still counts. (so, some sort of unique ip thing that resets every 24 hours.)

Basically, the top 3 members that refer the most visiters to the main site will get a percentage of all the profits. (ie. 1st- 5%, 2nd- 3%, 3rd- 1%) So, this will encourage them to get more people to go to the site, because the more visiters, the more money I earn off advertising, the more money they make from the percentage of the profits. So, if they work really hard one month and the site makes $25,000, then the 1st place member would make $1250, the second place member would make $750, and the 3rd place member would make $250.

If any of you think you could do this for me, please email me at: nate [at] funnyroad [dot] com. Please do not PM me, just email.

I really do not know how much this would cost, so please email me with a price range.

Thanks,
-Nate

Good idea, it wouldnt be very difficult to code, though;

I want it so that 1 person can click a refferal link 1 day
If your site gets big and its possible to make money on it, people probarly would just connect through proxies etc to change their ip's.

The only problems arising are that automating money sending is possible but very insecure, as it would have to store your bank/paypal/whatever details in the php script. Even encrypted it would have to be a reversable encrpytion to be able to be used in the web forms. It would be possible to block multiple clicks from the same IP, but dynamic IPs raise a problem, along side proxies. It would be possible to use the first 3 sections of the IP but that gives you the problem of ISPs and IP switches and Proxies would still not be blocked.

Without the automated payment system it would be nothing for me to code effectivly. That is, if I dont have to do many graphical aspects ;)

True, but I doubt that would matter to him too much, since his advertisers would probably be using a similar IP tracking system he'd still get paid whether it was different users or the same user with multiple proxies :thumbsup: All he has to ensure is that his site mirrors the system used by his advertisers so that he's not paying out for traffic that isn't making him money.
