Most aurora base script do not include a sample promotion page that can be used by members to build their downline. So that means they usually use the provided referral link and that has many repercussions. Both to the site owner and the member trying to get referrals.
For example consider the two methods to promote a site.
http://www.fjptc.com/index.php?ref=splash1
http://www.fjptc.com/ads/splash1.php?ref=splash1
The first method drives traffic directly to the site and the visitor needs to find the register link. Depending on how many people are promoting the referral link and the number of hops from the viewer and the server, the viewer may leave the site before the page loads. Often I see sites that turn me away because they have an issue related to slow third party ad services, annoying popups, slow or unappealing video and audio. I can name several other turn-offs or obstacles that prevent a sign-up from occurring. That could be a topic for another discussion.
The second method is to present something that loads quickly, doesn't take much room, encourages or empowers the visitor to look for more, sends them directly to the sigup page and collects information to help determine the conversion ratio.
Here is the code for the second method....

Now let us look at what is presented. I will number them so it is easier to reference if you want to discuss it some more.
1. The splash page link is located in a separate folder and next to the root folder so it can take advantage of some SEO techniques.
2. The page has it own meta data and it can be customized to work well with the content of the page and again to take advantage of SEO. In this example I just inserted an image of my actual page splash page. That will work and often its the best solution for some advertising campaigns. The actual content and how its presented is another topic in itself.
3. include("updatestats.php") is added for data collection.
4. $ref is the variable that gets passed to the registration page.
5. href="http://www.fjptc.com/index.php?view=join&ref=<?php echo $ref; ?> is the destination site with the referring username that will become the upline for the registering member.
6. The image tag is used for simplicity. You can replace it with your own image.
7. The last div is to show how easy it is to add a third party link on your new splash page.
So you should be able to copy/paste the above code into a text editor. Make some small changes and upload the file to a folder on your server and you will be on your way to having your own referring splash page.
I call this v1.0 because I know there are a lot more you can do with a splash page.
Edit: August 09, 2013, 06:10:21 PM
The following code may be used to have your site stats updated every time your splash page is viewed.
You can place the updatestats.php file in the same location as your splash page.
I usually use an ads folder to keep things more manageable.
<?php
include("../config.php");
include("../includes/mysql.php");
$Db1 = new DB_sql;
$Db1->connect($DBHost, $DBDatabase, $DBUser, $DBPassword);
$today_date=date("d/m/y");
$sql=$Db1->query("SELECT id FROM stats WHERE date='$today_date'");
if($Db1->num_rows() == 0) {
$sql-$Db1->query("INSERT INTO stats SET date='$today_date'");
}
$sql=$Db1->query("UPDATE stats SET hits=hits+1 WHERE date='$today_date'");
$sql=$Db1->query("SELECT * FROM dailyhits WHERE `ip`='$vip'");
if($Db1->num_rows() == 0) {
$unique=1;
$Db1->query("UPDATE stats SET unhits=unhits+1 WHERE date='$today_date'");
$Db1->query("INSERT INTO dailyhits SET `ip`='$vip', ref='$ref'");
}
?>

You can leave out that line of code.
You would have to create the updatestats.php file and place code in it to update your site database stats based on the number of views of the splash page.
If you are not familiar with php/mysql and your script I can customize an updatestats.php file for your installation. I would need your script version and a small fee.

<a href="http://www.clix-ptc.com/index.php?ref=<?php echo $ref?>"><img src="http://www.clix-ptc.com/banners/splash.png" border="0" style="border:none;" alt="Join Clix-PTC"></a>

Be careful with using proper syntax. I can see above that you are missing a semi-colon in your php code.
-
Tell me where .First time trying to do a splashpage lol
-
Have a look at the original code....
<?php echo $ref; ?>
As you become more familiar with any coding you will realize that a lot of frustration can be reduce just by being more careful with syntax and typing errors.

-
The reflink still getting removed when i click link
-

I don't think you are following the exercise correctly.
Normal referral link is...
http://www.fjptc.com/index.php?ref=splash1
A splash page link would be...
http://www.fjptc.com/ads/splash1.php?ref=splash1
What is the link to the splash page you created?
-
http://www.clix-ptc.com/splash.php?ref=admin

A poor quality image will scare people away. Don't use it until you get something more attractive.
Does it not look out of focus to you?

Just testing it

I added some code in the original post to have your site stats updated every time your splash page is viewed.
