Are there any guides her on STM (I can't seem to find any) or elsewhere that teaches you how to do landing pages and properly link them up with your affiliate network and tracking software?
Thanks
Never mind found some tutorials.
But when uploading landing pages via FTP:
Where do you upload them in FTP? Do you put them in the public_html folder?
Or do I create a subfolder within FTP for each offer and within each subfolder I store all my landing pages for that offer?
Sorry if my questions are confusing but would appreciate any help.
Thanks
If your host has cPanel you should be able to set the root directory of the domain in there. Which could be /public_html if you only have one domain to host, but should probably be a subdirectory for organizational purposes should you want to host more domains later. Upload it as index.html or index.php and see if it loads.
What tutorials did you find?
Thanks. It loads now. But does it matter if my landing page ends in .html or .php?
If you used PHP on your page, it needs to be .php for it to run. Otherwise no difference to my knowledge.
Generally, if there is PHP code in it, you want a PHP extension (this tells your server to send the file through the PHP processor first).
Domains point to a specific folder on your server. When you connect via FTP you generally start in that folder or one above and have to go into public_html - the content of which are what load when you go to mydomain.com.
When you add addon domains through cPanel they likely appear in here as extra folders, e.g. myseconddomain.com. Put files in whichever folder corresponds to the domain you are accessing them through.
Inside of that domain itself you want to organise things. Don't put everything together - make subfolders for different offers, different landers, etc. Organise it as you would a normal folder on your computer.
