#2 wouldn't be too bad, however I think there is a relatively easy way to do #1 (upload multiple files at once) in php... pretty sure I did it in a project a couple years ago, I'll ask my old biz partner and let you know how we did it.
For split testing ages you select the age range, and the increment to split test.
so that splits it into 20-25,25-30,30-35 and so on. I can't really think of a better way to do it, what exactly are you trying to do in this case?
Thanks for explaining this, I didn't understand exactly how that all worked. That makes sense to me. On some of the other ad creators, they just have a textbox that lets you put in "21-25,26-30,31-33" etc, comma delimited like that, which seems to work well.. might consider switching to that since the "increment" thing wasnt obvious to me and might not be to other people either
For linking to your LP without redirecting through the tracker you can use either 'Javascript' type tracking or none at all. Here's a screenshot:
When you select 'none' you can enter the URL for that ad, and it wont go through the tracking system at all. The <%ad_id%> variable will be replaced with the ad's LambdaTracker id, but not a unique id for the visitor.
If you use the javascript method, when it submits the ad it will do all the things a normal redirect would do (just make sure you included the javascript tracking script on the landing page, the link is under the 'tracking' section). The actual URL would look something like www.yourlpdomain/yourlp.html#1234 where 1234 is the Ad Id. Once the page is loaded the javascript will strip that 1234 so all the visitor sees is the hash at the end of the url. This then sets all the variables on your tracking domain's PHP session, including the unique visitor ID for subid tracking.
So really javascript is your best bet, 'none' is for people who just want to use the mass upload feature without tracking through LambdaTracker at all.
Thanks, I'll try again with the javascript redirect and see how that works for me.
I also have one feature request to throw at you: multivariate testing (so you can test multiple parts of a landing page such as different headers, titles, graphics, etc) a good example of this is Affiliate Prophet. I'd love it if all these variables were to pass through lambdatracker and I wouldn't have to setup multiple systems for every campaign, tracking through one place would be epic. Another way you might be able to swing the multivar would be to integrate google website optimizer or create a GWO plugin that creates the split tests for you and spits out what code to put in your lander or something.
---------
All that aside, I want to give you a huge pat on the back because this thing really shows a lot of promise, and will definitely kick ass in the next versions, keep up the good work!
