Hey Guys, I'm Looking For Your Expertise. How Should I Track This?

Hey STM,

I was on the crapper a moment a go thinking about how I should take care of tracking for my new campaign. I have a dynamite landing page and I want to send traffic to it from all over the cloud.

Here is my campaign model / structure:

1.) Visitors click on an ad or are referred from a banner (DuHHH, Right)

2.) They come to my page and go "oh shit, I need to learn more about this, this may be for me" - they submit there juicy personal information.

3.) BOOM! I send there information to the Business I am collecting leads for and - they do the rest.

My main tracking question:

Okay, when they submit there information on my page my aff Link has an SID where I can list the traffic source, and woot! there is my issue, I want to send traffic from multiple sources.

I am aware of tracking 202 and have used it before, however, i do not want to put the page into Separate directories with diff aff link Sids... (what i've done in the past)

After I collect there Goods - I re - direct them to my thank you page with an upsell.

Hmm, I was wondering if I could send the re - direct link to a tracking software to log the source of the lead! Thata way I know which sources are generating leads... word.

Is this possible or does anyone else have a brilliant suggestion?

Thanks,

J

not fully understanding what you want to do but....cpvlab makes tracking the lead easy weasy......

as far as a real time lead deal....you can prob set up something via email....so it could go capture form(aweber or whatever)>varibles passed to thank you page(pixel converts) runs php script that mails the form data to its source....

BUT

you need a way to track the fact that they got it and opened the email.....and I would have a very tight contract in writing....

HMmmm, that's a solid idea, I may take that idea a step further. Hypothetically speaking, If every one of my traffic sources had a conversion pixel(that was actually reliable) I could slap them all up on the thank you page and at a minimum I would know if a traffic source was working.

I guess the problem starts when doing media buys, and traffic sources that do not have tracking pixels.
