Hey,

I really can't figure this out. It's either that I'm just missing a tiny, easy, little thing because I didn't have a break within the last 7 hours, or it really is a bigger problem.

I'm trying to send traffic to a squeeze page via PPV. As I'm targeting quite a few URL's, I obviously want to track which sites gave me opt-ins and which didn't.
However, I don't seem to be able to use prosper202 with this: As there is no affiliate link (single opt in, thank you page), I can't add subid's (and without sub-id's no keyword passthrough, without keyword passthrough no tracking!)

Could anybody please point me in the right direction?





P.S.: Here are some boobies as a thx.

can you not place a prosper pixel on the thank you page?

I thought of that as well but then I'm no sure...what do I put into step #3 as the affiliate URL? How is this going to work with the keyword passthrough from the PPV network? I feel quite stupid right now :crap:

your landing page

(for network create something like "mylp" -> payout on offer $0.01)

then pull direct link for that network and that offer (your lp), append the keyword normally after kw= and place your prosper pixel on the opt in confirmation page.

don't see why that wouldn't work.

Alright, so my landing page URL looks like this:

hxxp://somedomain.com/optin

so for the affiliate URL, I put it in like

hxxp://somedomain.com/optin?kw=

?

Because the direct link will look like
hxxp://.....dl.php?t202id=8257&t202kw=

now the keyword passthrough will append "sourceurl.com" to that link, and prosper202 assigns it a sub-id in the database, so it will redirect to

hxxp://somedomain.com/optin26930 (which obviously doesn't exist, so it gives a 404)
 
huh?

no- for the aff url you put in hxxp://somedomain.com/optin

pulling a direct link from prosper should then be

http://yourtrackingdomain.com/tracking202/redirect/dl.php?t202id=12345&t202kw=

this when clicked should resolve to hxxp://somedomain.com/optin and when the keyword is dynamically inserted (ie http://yourtrackingdomain.com/tracking202/redirect/dl.php?t202id=12345&t202kw={keyword} ) will store the keyword (or in this case likely url).

Then place your prosper pixel on the thank you page from the opt in. Unless I'm totally missing your point and due to using aweber/other you can't control the 'thank you' page.
 
oh wait- are you trying to not just track what keyword/url target drove the opt in but then also be able to track this opted in user to see if they later result in revenue?

if so disregard my easy example above
 
no you're spot on, I only want to track which PPV targets brought me opt-ins (so no tracking if the opt-in converted to revenue later).

The problem though is: if I use the direct link like you mentioned (...t202id=12345&t202kw={keyword}), it will keep that keyword in the URL.
That means if my opt-in page was at somedomain.com/optin, the URL after the redirect would look like somedomain.com/optin26930 (the folder optin26930 does not exist of course. why 26930? Because that is a random number prosper chooses to attach to the keyword in the database. so PPV passthrough (URL), gets converted in the prosper202 database into a subid (26930) which is appended to the affiliate URL (which usually has something like ?sid= at the end, so it doesn't give errors in comparison to my problem, where such a syntax at the end of the URL doesn't exist).

Man that sounds really confusing, I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

I can control the thank you page, so placing the pixel there is not a problem. but the whole subid thing is a problem.

I hope we aren't talking at cross-purposes?

(Btw. I really appreciate your help in here!)
 
Thanks a lot Sonny, I just tried that and it worked, duh.
For some reason I thought this would not be working, don't ask me why. I should probably get breaks more often so my brain doesn't get stuck with stupid minor things.
Anyway, issue solved, cheers! :music06:
 
good - rethinking I'd end it in "promocode=" so that any idiot looking at the URL might feel special and better convert (you know given your numerical subid will be appended)
 
If your landing page url is:

Code: 
http://example.com/lp.htm
then put the campaign URL as:

Code: 
http://example.com/lp.htm#
This won't technically pass a keyword through however Prosper doesn't actually have to do that anyway for it to function right..

Then place the tracking pixel on the thank you page.

Good day sir.

Thanks a lot Sonny! I didn't even ask for this but it's a great idea (gonna change my link now), really appreciate the input :)

@xentech:
Thanks for that, for some reason I was like "man, this won't technically work" so I didn't even try it out. My fault for sure. But hey, you learn by doing simple mistakes like this :)
