Tracking a two step process lander with p202?? (12)

Tracking a two step process lander with p202??

Hi Guys..

I'm fairly comfortable with using p202, and understand the general simple and advanced landing page set ups, and how to rotate landers using the php script they give..

But.. I've searched everywhere for a solution to this, and can't for the life of me work it out

I've a lander that I use, and I want to test a pre lander in the path..

The pre lander is just a simple.. "On the next page you will get this, this and this, do you want to continue" and yes and no buttons..

Then when they click on the yes button they will start at the beginning of my usual landing page process.. It's a straight link to the next step.

How can I link to this prelander from traffic sources, and carry over any information from the URLs.. like network tokens, subid etc to the final lander/offer link?

So, I'd set up a link to the new pre lander at the traffic source with C1=token&C2=token etc..

If they click yes, the C variables (token data) is then passed to my original lander set up... and also the subid on conversion at the offer should match ID of the pre lander click?

Maybe I've just missed something obvious by being blind?

If you're using vanilla Prosper, and you don't want to track click-throughs from the pre-lander to the lander, this should be pretty simple to achieve.

Insert the Prosper code at the bottom of the pre-lander - NOT the main lander - as you usually would.

Link from the pre-lander to the lander using a normal HTML link.

Then link from the lander to your Prosper redirect page, which will redirect people to the offer.

I've not tested this approach, but it should work: Prosper works by setting cookies on the visitor's computer, so that information will persist over both pages.

Alternatively, you could simply combine both pages by using Javascript. Rather than having two separate HTML pages, you could swap between the two page layouts, when your visitors click "Yes", by using Javascript: it's a couple of lines of code.

I used similar code over on this adult mobile lander - although if you're doing this for desktop, you could make the transition prettier with JQuery fades.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you need any more info.

Hi mate.. thanks for your answer.. let me look at trying out your first suggestion.. and testing if it tracks the visit from one end to the other..

ideally what I need, is from the first link (to my pre lander) the carrier and device tokens, and they are carried through to the 2nd lander and ultimately the conversion detail..

Aha - are you using vanilla Prosper or are you using the STM Mobile Tracker? If you're using the STM Mobile Tracker, you'll have to pass the GET request string through to the main lander. Let me know if that's the case and I can explain how to do that - it's pretty easy.

I'm using prosper 1.7.2 .. not the STM version.. sorry!..

With Prosper, you can't track LP Clicks on more than 1 landing page, but if you're only concerned about tracking the main LP, then there are different options as caurmen suggested. It also depends on which prosper version you're using too.

Here's an advanced LP implementation for vanilla prosper, just to give you some ideas:

Destination URL:

Code:

http://mylandingpage.com/prelander.php?t202id=1234&t202kw=my-creative&c1=token1&c2=token2&c3=token3&c4=token4

prelander.php

Code:

<?php

$offerlink = "main_lander.php?" . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

?>

<html>
<head></head>

<body>

<a href="<?= $offerlink ?>">This is the link to the main_lander.php</a>

</body>
</html>

main_lander.php

Code:

<html>
<head></head>

<body>

<a href="redirect.php">This is the link to the page containing your prosper202 offer redirect</a>



</body>
</html>

ok !.. Thanks for the suggestion.. if what you posted above works on my version, I should have that running in no time..

One question.. sorry for being dumb.. what's "vanilla" prosper??

10-08-2013 04:59 PM #8 JasperP (Member)

it's just a way of saying the plain or original version of prosper202.

The STM Mobile Version has more bells and whistles... or more toppings:

The original prosper202 is kind of like saying plain vanilla ice cream... No toppings included.

haha ok.. it must be an american thing, never heard it before.. or maybe I've lived a secluded life..

I'll give your method a blast later on tonight, and if doesn't work, I'll bug caurmen somemore!

cooool.. caurmen's simple way worked!.. I didn't realise that the cookie/subid would be passed over from the pre lander. I (wrongly) assumed that you needed the landing page javascript at the foot of any page that linked out to your php redirect.. to track it properly..

So, simply add the landing page code at the first place the user lands.. push the traffic around however you want with standard html links.. then redirect them out again at the end with the php..

Cheers bro..

Thanks Jasper for your solution.. That was going to be the next test, if this hadn't worked.

awesome! glad you got it straightened out

Excellent! Glad it's sorted!

And thanks for pointing out that people might not understand what "vanilla" Prosper means - I try very hard to avoid using jargon, but that one had slipped through!
