How do I track a squeeze page in prosper 202?

Whoever posted this thread, could you re-post the content?

I merged your newbie Q&A and tracking forum threads together and during post cleanup VBulletin decided to just detonate the thread

Anyway, p202 is not the ideal solution for tracking email opt-ins.

It might be better to use a different platform for that particular campaign.

Otherwise, you could use the LPs as normal, and have an email system handle tracking opt-ins, and could have the landing page CTA link as a URL (would need to pass subid into the email system), or you could have a conversion pixel on the email page.

Again, p202 is not the best for this. An email system that can track query string data may suffice, and you could just rotate LPs manually (and even set each up as a separate opt-in campaign with your email system).

Never mind, found it -- thank the lord for spamming open tabs!

-- OP --

First, I posted this in the wrong forum and it may not be good etiquette, but I'm bringing it to the correct forum as I'm totally stuck and frustrated and hopefully in the correct forum I can get an answer...

I am trying to setup prosper202 with rotating LPs and squeeze pages that have a form for subscribing and an acknowledgement page.

Getting the rotating LPs to work was easy thanks to Caurmen's tutorial.

But I can't get this to work with the form and p202.

So I have:

page1 = a rotating lp page with lp1, lp2, lp3, lp4 being rotated (per caurmen's tutorial)

Ad on Facebook pointing to page1 per the #6 Get LP Code

lp1, lp2, etc = content and form with:
input name
input email
submit to page2

page2 = subscribes them, sends an email and displays a thank you page

Then I have
Affiliate URL = page2
Landing Page URL = the root directory of the landing pages per rotating LP tutorial

The problem I'm having is that as soon as I put the LP Code javascript at the bottom of the squeeze page, the form stops working and the submit button doesn't do anything.

I don't have a clue why that stopped the submit button from working. If I take the LP Code out of the bottom of the squeeze page, the form works again.

Please help!!!!

I have no idea how to fix this.

Thanks, Zeno. I just sent off feedback asking for the thread back cuz they were both gone a few minutes ago! Thanks for getting it back.

I guess that's why I've been having so much trouble!

I wish I understood p202 better.

All I need at this point is how many visitors to each LP and how many opt-ins each. If I had a conversion pixel, could I use the p202 setup and skip the javascript or redirect?

I can track 'manually' with the optin knowing which landing page they came from. But I was hoping to gain experience with p202 so I could begin other affiliate campaigns with some experience on my own product. Guess not...

Thanks for your help.

Actually, I may have just figured out what you need to do.

The issue is that you are using a form submit that disconnects the funnel from p202.

You could do this:

1. Set up the form so that clicking submit POSTs away the form data.
2. Use javascript (AJAX) to then redirect the current page to the click-through URL that p202 supplies. This is not an ideal approach but could work.

I'm not sure how you have your form set up at the moment, so you will need to change this accordingly.

It would probably be better to design the submit script so that it provides a header to redirect the user. Perhaps you can just do this with the email service you are using?

Example AJAX:

HTML Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>   
  <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form id="myForm" method=POST name=transferform action="some_place.php" onsubmit="return false;">
  <input name=gold type=text value="1" size=5>
  <input name=recipient type=text value="mypal" size=10>
  <input id="myButton" type=submit name=submission value="Send">
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function() {
    $(document).on("submit", "#myForm", function(event){
      var name = $('input[name="gold"]:first'),
        recipient = $('input[name="recipient"]:first');
      $.post( "some_place.php", { name: name, recipient: recipient })
      .done(function( data ) {
        window.location.href = "http://www.google.com";
      });
    });
  });
</script>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Wow, thanks Zeno. I really had no idea what I was getting myself into here!

I will give that a try and the next project I'll make sure is more traditional AM.
