CPVLAB question... (12)

CPVLAB question...

Anyway to link to a specific landing page?

Using base.php, I tried doing base.php?id=2000 and 2000 being the landing page id. However that doesn't forward.

I know you can link directly to your page, but then it doesn't seem to pickup variables like age and such?

Like if you link

yourdomain.com/lander.php?age=25 it doesn't pick that up unless you go thru base.php I believe ?

Any help is appreciated.

You can get CPVLab to forward things like Age in such a way that your landing page can pick them up and use them by using its "Extra Tokens".

I've written a basic guide to using these over here, but let me know if that doesn't clear the problem up and I can give you more specific instructions.

I need to be able to link to specific landing pages, in a campaign. Otherwise I have to duplicate campaigns. Otherwise I have to
duplicate campaigns.

You can do this with the Landing page Sequence, but you have to put your landing pages in Level 2.

In the Level 1 LP, you use that to link to base2.php?id=<LP ID>. <LP_ID> corresponds to the assigned ID that you give it

CPVLab Landing Page Sequence

Code:

Level 1: 
http://www.mylandingpage.com/level1_lp_direct.php

Level 2: 
ID:21 - http://mylandingpage.com/index21.php
ID:22 - http://mylandingpage.com/index22.php
ID:23 - http://mylandingpage.com/index23.php

level1_lp_direct.php

Code:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>

<a href="http://mycpvlabtracker.com/base2.php?id=21">Link to index21.php</a>
<a href="http://mycpvlabtracker.com/base2.php?id=22">Link to index22.php</a>
<a href="http://mycpvlabtracker.com/base2.php?id=23">Link to index23.php</a>

</body>
</html>

That's how I was doing it before.. There's probably a better way to do this, so you should contact CPVLab support to see if they have better solutions.

I contacted Robert from CPVLab with exactly this question and apparently it's coming in future releases.

Anyone have an idea as to when a new version of CPV is coming?

I asked about the new version, they gave no real answer.

Thanks Jaspar, is there any downside to use Landing Page Sequence vs MultiOption?

the stats might be slightly different if you're collecting leads, but for the most part it's typically the same.

Try it out and test your links. You should be able to see the stats you need for optimization

I tried this

Incoming link from traffic source

domain.com/?gender=male&etcetcetc

that then forwards to Another php page
that does

$num = rand(1,3);

$url = "tracker.com/base2.php?id=21";
header("Location: $url");

then the surfer lands on my lander I want, however when they click
using base3.php?id=1 (Offer group)

they are sent to my error page....

I hate that the script is encoded, would make things so much easier if I could modify the script.

Ideas on how to fix this?

are you using the base.php link to go to to domain.com/?gender=male&etcetcetc ?

Use the "Live HTTP Headers" plugin for firefox/chrome to see if your links are being properly redirected:

You can use the code you get in "Step 2b (optional): Add Code to Landing Pages to track direct traffic" and just link to the LP itself, so instead of using the campaign URL you use sth like this: "http://landingpageurl.com/index.php?keyword=asdf"

The downside is that you need to specify the campaign ID in the code from Step 2b, so if you want to use the same LP in different campaigns you'd have to pass the campaign ID to the LP and use that parameter instead of a specific number.

EDIT:
If you need to pass additional tokens, e.g. "creative_id", you can do it like this:

Code:

<img src="http://trackingdomain.com/adck.php?c=123&l=1&r=<?php echo(base64_encode($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) ?>&creative_id=<?php echo urlencode($_GET['creative_id']); ?>" />

In case someone else wants to setup this

Make sure you try base2.php?id=1 (for group 1)

I was using base3.php?id=1 and it wouldn't work.
