Hey, my question might seem very simple but I'm searching for a long time how to do it.
Basically I'm doing a free giveaway on my FB page in order to build a list. The link is directing them to a landing page hosted on a site outside of FB.
What I wanted to know is how I can track all of this process, meaning the amount of clicks I got on my link on FB and the amount of people that converted on my site - left their email.
Is there a simple way of doing it? Probably something with the "thank you page"?
Cheers!
Use prosper for tracking & hire a php coder or check out someone from fiverr to write a simple php script that would postback as soon as your user reaches thank you page or whatever after submitting email.
Thanks, do you think I can use
Yep, use something like Prosper202, CPV Lab,
Use the optional URL tags feature of Facebook ads. So, if your tracking URL normally looks like this:
hxxp://mydomain.com?t202id=1234&t202kw=this&c1=that
Then you would link your ad to hxxp://mydomain.com?t202id=1234 and add "t202kw=this&c1=that" to the optional URL tags part (I'm assuming you are using page post links).
Send people through the tracking system to a lander. If it's an email setup then you'll need an autoresponder most likely, at which point you will want the email that gets sent to them to contain a pixel for your tracking system or postback functionality.
Check out the tracking forum if you want help with p202 - there is a modded version available here and guides for both p202 and CPV Lab.
Great,
I'm actually looking to track clicks on my link in my FB page as a test initially and than start to advertise it. So no Facebook tokens yet.
I will use an autoresponder if the test will work as I suspect, but in any case any email opt in is sent to my page email so I can track the conversions, but I am interested in knowing how many clicks I got so I can check the conversion rate.
Hope that's make sense.
Thanks for the help.
