I assumed that that was the marketing you were employing - it's certainly a good idea, and I bet that's a good survey tool for the ad proprietors themselves - ascertaining what ads actually produce results.

 

In any case, I'm currently attempting to get that on my forum, but it's a one-man show for me so far. Plus the fact that I just started not too long ago.
