Hi guys,
I dunno, if any of you had any experience but if there is a hiding guru, here's the question. I have an interspire with all the relevant addons setup on my email server.
Since I am pretty new to click tracking, I decided to give a try to Prosper202, which looks promising but I am still at the earliest stages of understanding its full potential.
My question is how can I e.g. send Interspire Subscriber List name as subid to the Prosper202 with links that I use inside the campaigns?
Does Interspire have dynamically replacing tags that you can use inside your emails? If so, this should be fairly easy if you just want to store the info in Prosper.
Also, do you specifically need the subid to be the name, or would the keyword do?
Setting the keyword in Prosper is pretty easy. Forcing the Prosper subid to be a specific value is significantly harder - you'd need to custom-code that and possibly also mess with the database structure.
What's the use case here?
The use idea is that I have a number of lists (known and unknown sources). What I tried before is to create them all as different traffic sources in P202 and therefore was able to track them one by one
Here's the long story short.
1. I have 3 "traffic sources", namely 3 different email lists, let's call them - L1, L2 and L3
2. I have 3 offers that I want to test
4. I have 3 redirect landers that rotate those 3 offers for each traffic source
So with current setup, the rotation code on each lander rotates P202 trackers with KW:
offer1&kw=L1
offer2&kw=L2
offer3&kw=L3
I have 3 rotators like that for each "traffic source"
After that I had to go in IEM and set up 3 different campaigns for each list and use the links of respective rotator landers.
This looks like a lot of work which looks pretty grim if i want to start adding more lists and more offers.
Thus, l started to wonder...
What if I use 1 "universal" P202 tracker that would understand what IEM LIST gave me the click and trace it over to the offer?
This would allow me to send one campaign to all the lists I want. This all comes down to one question. Is it possible for me to create a link for IEM, that would look like - clickme.com/p202.php?kw=LIST1 which for the list 5 would look like - clickme.com/p202.php?kw=LIST5
I have tried a few options, but no luck so far.
This probably comes down to whether Interspire, or any available plugins, allow dynamic tags.
I imagine there must be some option, since email marketing is just as dynamic as anything.
For example, subscriber name - you can guarantee all those emails you get are composed as:
Hi {{SUBSCRIBER_NAME}},
Rather than handcrafted for individuals...

Ehm, got a bit confused here. For sure interspire allows rotation of custom tags, I also have a nice spinner plugin that allows me to shuffle the texts and subject lines for uniqueness. My main question is how can I pass tags in the urls that users click? This is a mystery for me still.
If you just put the dynamic tag that outputs the list name (assuming it's a single word) into the Prosper URL either in the &kw= section or a custom variable section (&c1=), that should send the data you're looking for to Prosper.
So, to give an example (and I'm making up the Interspire tag because I don't know it, but I'm assuming it's something like {{LIST_NAME}}
<a href="http://your.tracking.domain/lp.php?t202id=6976&t202kw={{LIST_NAME}}">Click here!</a>
I use Interspire quite a bit, along with personalization tags in my emails-- they look like this:
Ad Tracking: %%Ad Tracking%%
First Name: %%First Name%%
Last Name: %%Last Name%%
...and so on.
When you set up an email, click the "Dynamic Content" tab right under the html box, and then select "insert custom field" and you can dynamically insert whatever field you wish to in your email. So, for example, whenever anyone opts into my list, I put the lead source into the Ad Tracking field, and use a custom field at the end of every link in my emails (in this case, %%Ad Tracking%% ) that drive to an offers, so I can see where the sale came from. It works really well.
Here's an exact example of a link I use in Interspire to append the original leadsource (i.e. where the lead came from such as Facebook-Ad1, POF-Ad2, etc.) to the end of one my links: http://www.womenapproachyou.com/cynd...hp?addata=%%Ad Tracking%%
Hope this helps...Interspire is actually a really good system, especially when paired with EmailDelivered as an email service provider (helps to be friends with the owner!).
