Help with Mobile landers and hosting (14)

---

Hi,

Been spending quite sometime knowing about most basics and i still could'nt manage to start my own campaign yet to gather data.

I have very limited to 0 knowledge on Css/Html, i've read up Caurmen's post(http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...Actually-Works) on Mobile lander but still could'nt quite figure out how to do these properly.

1)I have an image(jpeg) to be used for pre-lander, how Do I make An Image Clickable on A LP? I'm trying to make the Call To Action Image clickable and also make it redirect to the offer.
2)For newbie, i am using Voluum to track, but would still need a host for my lander, between Beyond hosting and Rackspace, which VPS will you recommend for lander hosting?
3)When it comes to lander creation for mobile, is there a fixed resolution we should adhere to? like banners are normally 320 x 50 or 300 x 250 etc.

Hope the experts can chime in on this, thanks a tons!


Thank You

1) You don't need the image to be clickable, but it can help. Just enclose it in a standard <a href> tag.
2) Both are good. Choose a VPS in the country you're targeting.
3) Absolutely not. Test your lander on the major phones in your demographic and use media queries (see the follow-up tutorial to the one you linked) to make sure your lander works on all of them.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for your help Caurmen!

The image itself is actually the whole landing page already, so i was actually thinking of using that as a static lander to test out the offer first. Is that possible?

---

I would split test between that and a html coded lander - an image only is a quick and dirty method but one that will generally be poor performance-wise.

---

Thanks Zeno! Agree with you. I finally tried WebFlow yesterday and understood what you guys meant by non fully responsive. Personally Zeno, how will you fix the responsiveness problem on other phones? since they don't auto resize, does adding media queries for each version of smart phone help to do that? Sorry about my ignorance, i sometimes can't fully grasp what was shared in the guide.

---

Yep, you can add media queries to fix problems on specific phones. It's a pain in the ass, but can really help your landers.

---

Either use media queries and make it "OK-ish" for most phone screen sizes or go out of your way with the media queries and testing on e.g. BrowserStack

Hey Zeno or Carumen,

Please help me out with this, i have the flows of tracking properly set up.

I placed xxxxx.trackvoluum.com/click on the part of my landing page where i want to people to click on to reach my offer.

I mean this is a particular link code.

<div class="button"><a href="http://xxxxx.trackvoluum.com/click">

Is there something wrong with this? Everytime i click onto this. I wasn't redirected to my offer but this popped up:

"Error 400

Visit data was missing when handling click: URL parameter 'voluumdata' is missing."

Please help!


P/s: I replaced the real code with xxxxx

---

Its alright, i got the answer already. CHeers.

---

Did you just click from your landing page, or did you start from the campaign URL that Voluum provides?

If you want to test your tracking, you need to start with the Voluum campaign URL - otherwise Voluum will get confused and give the error you mention.

EDIT - saw you fixed this, but I'm leaving this answer here in case it helps others.

---

How important is it to choose a VPS in a country you're targeting? If you have several campaigns in different countries this can end up being pretty expensive.

---

It's more important when dealing with stuff on the other side of the other side of the world. There is distance/latency aspect that really drives this.

A US or EU VPS for Australian traffic is not ideal, neither is a Dallas-based VPS for Chilean traffic. However, a French VPS would work fine for German traffic.

---

I see, thanks for the post, Zeno! So, what would you do in my situation? I am experimenting with mobile offers in Latin America and Europe but have a starter VPS from BH. I am very much a beginner. Is getting specific VPS per offer GEO something more for the experienced, or is this something I should look into now?

---

If you are comfortable setting up VPS and installing tracking systems then go for it.

However it may be a better usage of your time to use something like Voluum and host landing pages on a CDN that has nodes in South America.
