PoF dynamic tags (10)

PoF dynamic tags

Hi there,

Can't find what I'm doing wrong.

Here's how my tracking Url looks like

http://mydomainname.com/index.php?t202id=1385&c1={age:}&c2={gender:}&c3={s tate:}&t202kw={001ngtk}

Made simpler version of my lp just to get tokens from POF:

<?
$age=@$_GET['c1'];$gender=@$_GET['c2'];$state=@$_GET['c3'];
$str1=$age;
$str2="- thats my age";
echo $str1 . " " . $str2;
?>


After clicking link through POF user's profile, all what I'm getting is string line equal {age:}

What I'm doing wrong?

is their age hidden?

If they hide their age POF will use your default value(value after the semi-colon-{age:default}) but you have it left blank.

Perhaps if POF can't default an age it'll just ignore trying to replace {age:} with any value and just leave it.

craigm - doesn't look like. I've tried to get all three tokens on my lp. And all of them empty like {gender:} {state:} or {age:}.

Is there any kind of tracking redirect between where the user clicks on the ad and where they land on your LP?

If there is the values in {age:} etc will be in the $_GET array for the tracking page and not your LP.

What tracker are you using?

If it's the STM Mobile Tracker, it doesn't pass C variables to the lander by default. There's a simple modification you can make to enable them to be passed - let me know if this is the problem you're having and I shall talk you through it if so.

Craigm - user clicking on the link, which was made by prosper202. So as long as I know, user goes straight to landing page on my server.
Caurmen - prosper202 on wiredtree server

Hmm, that looks like it should be working, then.

You clicked on your ad being displayed on POF using a POF user which has its age set, am I right?

I'd recommend getting in touch with Ben at POF on this one and seeing if he can figure out what's going wrong.

Not really. I simple copying my add url address from ads.pof.com. Then logging in with fake user profile to POF and simple pasting in url bar. Is that my mistake?

Hey, those dynamic tags are replaced with real values in the ads that are delivered to real users - you can't force the functionality by pasting the URL in the address bar. If they are written as you have said they will work fine, just look at the data in your tracking system once the campaign is live.
