What is the best/easiest/most efficient way to track specific visitors to your website?
Here is what I am wanting to do:
Once someone opts in (with name and email), that person will receive an email. From that email, they will be directed to a webpage with a series of videos. At the end of the video, they will be given a limited-time ONLY offer that they can take advantage of within a set period of time. If the time expires, I need a way of excluding that person from taking advantage of that offer.
Using the name &/or email to track this is makes it too easy for the person to cheat the system, so to speak. The only way I can think of is using the IP Address along with the name & email. This still makes it pretty easy to cheat the system but I think that the majority of people (at least in my target audience) won't know how to do so.
1) Is there a better way with such limited info?
2) If not, how can I easily record and track the IP Address?
I know php enough to (kinda) get by and I am assuming that is how to pull this off but am unsure of just how to do it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
