# Only New Fans Count

> How OnlyTraffic ensures fair subscriber tracking: only unique new fans are counted towards payment.

OnlyTraffic only counts **unique new subscribers** towards payment — those who have not previously been subscribed to the creator. This is one of the platform's key technical advantages that protects you from paying for duplicate subscribers.

## How It Works

The system automatically verifies each subscriber:

1. **Determines the first subscription date** of the fan to the creator's page
2. **Compares** it with the start date of the campaign
3. **Excludes** fans whose first subscription was before the campaign started

<Info>
  This applies to **all campaign types** — not just Free Trial Links. Regular Campaign Links, OT Tracking Links, and Free Trial Links — only unique new fans are counted across all of them.

## Why This Matters

* **Pay only for genuinely new subscribers** — no risk of double-paying for the same fan
* **Transparent stats** — every delivered fan is verified and tracked
* **Platform-wide uniqueness** — if a fan was already subscribed through another contractor, they won't be counted again
* **Fair system** — ensures accurate tracking across all campaigns and contractors

## Free Trial Links

A Free Trial Link allows users to get free access to a paid page for a limited time. The same user can activate a Free Trial Link unlimited times — but the system will count them **only once**, on the first subscription.

<Warning>
  If a fan was subscribed to the creator before the campaign started and reactivates a Free Trial Link — they will **not** be counted towards payment.
</Warning>

## Platform-Wide Uniqueness

Uniqueness verification works **at the platform level**, not per individual campaign. If a fan was already subscribed to the creator through another contractor — they won't be counted again.

This ensures:

* Accurate tracking for every campaign
* No duplicate charges across different orders
* Full transparency in subscriber reporting

  If you have questions about specific fans — contact your account manager. We'll provide detailed information for each case.
