What is "the landing page"?
The landing page is where you are redirected to when you click on an offer, if you click away from this page to read a terms of service, privacy policy, or something else about the site, it could "Possibly" cause a no-credit issue, as some of the landing pages have whats called a "CREDITING Pixel" which is a small image which links to the freebie site and tells the advertiser where the lead was generated from, which in result gives that freebie site credit for your lead (this pixel is normally located on the order processed/completed page though).
It is advised to always, click the link, arrive at the landing page, and complete the offer. If you want to click around the site and read the TOS, or Privacy Policy, etc., I advise you open those in a new window (or tab), rather then browsing away from the landing page.
Note: Filling out your information and clicking continue, is not leaving the landing page and will not affect anything. (It is what you're supposed to do).
What do I do if I have left the landing page and have clicked around the offer-site already?
Honestly your best option would be to close the offer page, clear your cookies, then click to open the offer-site again, and proceed accordingly.
TIP: If you've visited an offer before at another site, and decided you didn't want to do it and are now about to do it at a new site, CLEAR YOUR COOKIES FIRST! Clearing your cookies in this situation will prevent the offer from crediting to the WRONG Freebie Site you are pursuing (yes this does happen)
