Help request: Prosper 202 + Beyond hosting + Landing page (10)
Hi all
Apology as not sure if here is the right place for me to post this stupid question.
Background: i wanted to create LP and track it using Propers 202
I have just signed up beyond hosting's vps services (they're probably setting up now).
My question,
Is there anywhere in the website.. that actually can guide me step by step on:
how to
1) upload the CSS/HTML
2) installation of Prosper 202 and its application (redirect and etc)
3) Cpanel ( i was told to setup FTP..then setup filezilla using FTP accounts...) can further elaborate?
I did manage to search plenty of thread that discussed landing page and prosper in this forum, but somehow i believe that the above are assumed knowledge and thus not being mentioned.. i am still trying hard to pick up all these knowledge.
Much appreciated.
Not a stupid question at all! When you're starting out, tracking is a real brain-melter.
I'm going to be writing a tutorial series for this in a week or so, as we recognise that some basic guides to tracking would be really useful for a lot of people!
As a result, I'm happy to help you with this personally - it'll help me get an idea of the sticking points people will hit.
Here's a starter: Beyond can actually install Prosper for you automatically. Here's a tutorial from them on how to do that: https://clients.beyondhosting.net/kn...yarticle&id=31 . Try working through that and let me know when/if you get stuck!
Uploading: on Beyond Hosting, you'll use standard FTP to upload. FTP details should be in the email they sent you when you signed up for them. If you're using a starter VPS, you shouldn't need to set up FTP, you should just be able to log in and upload files to the public_html directory.
Try that, and let me know if you get stuck at any point! You can either reply here (which will probably get you faster responses, since other forum members can also chime in) or if you're doing something that involves data you don't want to share publically, PM me.
Yea I am gonna need a little more info on tracking too 
Btw CPVlab is well worth to buy over Prosper, or am I just spending more money for little improvements?
you need to upload the landing page you have to the vps or dedicated server, hence you need to ftp to your hosting account, ftp stand for file transfer protocol, lay man term, it is a way for your computer upload or download files or folders from your remote pc/server (in this case your vps), hence you need another piece of software called ftp client, in the market, there are bunch of ftp client, the most famous one is filezilla and it is FREE
Good point, hd2010! Here's a link to Filezilla if you don't have it already, soulest.
Dear all
Thanks alot -> especially @caurmen
Just got the email from beyond to get starting. Will try out things mentioned above =)
Cool stuff! Let us know how you get on!
Basically got lots of hard time on tracking...
Wanted to test, using offer in Adsimilis account...and yet there are so many alien languages there lol..
Target is to do tracking on my LP, traffic source: fb
tracking link -> i think i know this
Generate tiny url -> for what?
Add source -> why?
Add sub ID -> reason ?
QR code -> din expect to see QR code here too lol
Impression pixel -> totally no idea..
Add New Conversion Pixels / URL -> ???
In prosper setup campaign page #3, i can enter the affliate URL, i think i have to enter the tracking link above right?
but what happen to the "[[subid]][[c1]][[c2]][[c3]]" , i know is for differentiation but not really sure how it works..
Clocking on by default? does this helps me to prevent theft in future? -doubt...
then proceed to landing page setup #4, i can link to my domain later, no problem..
"
Next, #5 , text ads? What is this for?
#6 , LP code -> i think this can be use once i keyed in #4... --> tracking link --> but what is the tracking link for?
#7 Get the Destination URLs to be used in your Text Ads --> i dont actually need this right?
#8 Get your Pixel or Post Back URL --> i dont actually need this right?
Hmm, is a whole series of questions...really lots of confusion and doubts here and there XD
Right!
Generate tiny url -> ignore this for now.
Add source -> ignore this for now.
Add sub ID -> You'll need this for tracking. Check it, add [[subid]] in the text box, and hit "Update", then copy your tracking URL.
QR code -> Don't worry about this for now.
Add New Conversion Pixels / URL -> Go to stage #8 in Prosper, get the Simple Global Post Back URL, choose Postback URL here, then paste the Postback URL you have been given into the text box. Press Save. This allows your Prosper installation to know when someone signs up to your offer.
Prosper Setup:
#3: As you guessed, paste in the URL you got from Adsimilis (with [[subid]] at the end). Ignore everything else for now, don't set Cloaking on.
#4: This is where you add a Landing Page if you're using one. You'll need to have created and uploaded a landing page already - enter the URL (web address) to that landing page.
#5: ignore it, you won't use it.
#6: Only used if you're planning to use a Landing Page. If you are, choose Simple Landing Page, select the landing page you set up in #4, then copy and paste the code you get here into your landing page HTML as it instructs you.
THEN, create another file, call it something like "redirect.php", and upload it to the same directory as your landing page. Paste the Outbound PHP Redirect Code into there, save it. Now, in your landing page, link to that page wherever you want to link to your offer.
#7 You do need this! Select the offer, landing page and traffic source you intend to use, then hit "generate link". This is the link that you will paste into whatever traffic source you are using.
#8 - see above under Add New Conversion Pixels / URL
Does that help? Let me know if there are still confusing bits!
WOW!
A million thanks for that super fast and detailed reply !
Feel like giving you a BIG HUG now !!!!! XD
