How to Pass a Variable to a Page and then Pass it to a third Page (Voluum)

Let me see if I can explain this clearly - I would like to use a Voluum Link to send to a middle page and then take the creative i used in original page and transfer it to the third page from the second

Volume Link (link 1): From FB to Html Holder Page (trackvoluum.com?Creative=xxx)
FB Holder Page (Link 2):

Code Snippet ***

$country = "US";

$link_lander = "trackvoluum.com?Creative=(What do i Place Here to save XXX from original page to this "); <------- This is link to (3rd page) which is also a Voluum Link

Code Snippet***

The reason I want to do this is to be able to past variables of creatives used on FB and to split test landers and offers. Currently I am using static 3rd page creatives and have to duplicate the FB Holder page for each creative and insert it manually each time.


Thanks for the Help

Make sure all pages end in .php and use PHP's GET function. Also make sure Voluum passes your creative data to the LP URL (you can do this on the landers page in Voluum), and end the lander URL specified in Voluum to something like samplesite.com/index.php?creative= so that the final link when you edit the lander in Voluum looks something like samplesite.com/index.php?creative={creativetoken}

So if link 2 is http://www.samplesite.com/index.php?creative=xxx (xxx should be inserted into this link by voluum if you did the above)

Then where you have your code for the third link, make it look like this:
http://www.samplesitethirdlink.com/index.php?creative=<?php echo $_GET["creative"]; ?>

This will take the creative data and save it into the third link. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask, I know it may look a bit confusing but it is really rather simple.

Cjack, are you wanting to pass variables that dynamically determine the lander shown? If so you can probably accomplish the same thing in Voluum just by using the rules feature - i.e. add a rule so that if creative=xyz then go to this lander, this offer combo, etc.

If you're doing a funnel of creative > LP1 > LP2 > Offer then in Voluum I would have 1 campaign for all creatives to all LP1's and make a second campaign for all LP2 landers.

Campaign 1 = advert links and these head to LP1. Add rules if you want specific creatives to go to specific LP1's. For that lander have the offer URL as the tracking link of campaign 2.

In campaign 2 you then have the offer URL as your outgoing path and can similarly use rules to choose specific LP2's based on the creative token passed from LP1.

Did that make sense?

Protip for FB and Voluum - add a rule to campaigns to send users with ISP as Facebook or Websense to a path with a duplicated lander, e.g. called L1 FB dicks, so that review clicks are easy to filter out. Furthermore, make a 'passthrough' offer that goes to the offer page directly and set that as the offer in the path.
