How do I do this on voluum? (19)

How do I do this on voluum?

hi Guys, it's me again

could you explain me how I do this simple set up in Voluum?I can't seem able to figure it out

I am doing a lander that goes like this

http://mydomain.com/surveyintro
http://mydomain.com/surveyquestions
http://mydomain.com/surveyresults
http://mydomain.com/surveyprices

it goes from site to site like this:
click(function() {
window.location.href = 'http://mydomain.com/surveyq';
});


now, what I want to do is add the main one in Voluum doing a city callout , which would be like http://mydomain.com/surveyintro?city={city}

I want to add just the main lander to voluum, and all the "redirects" should go through a voluum link if I want all pages to call out the city, right? because I am only getting the city called out in the main one, but when the user click next , it goes to http://mydomain.com/surveyquestions

can you help me do that?

thank you

argh man, I can't figure out how to do this, so frustrating,

basically I want all my subpages to call out what the parameters

You need to pass the parameters from one page to another.

In PHP

<?PHP

$RedirectURL = "http://www.domain.com/nextpage.php?city=".$_GET['city'];

?>

No problemo. Change your line of each redirect to:
window.location.href = 'http://mydomain.com/whateveritis.php?city=<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['city']); ?>

Make sure each page is .php instead of .html

What this does is "echo" (print during page rendering on your server) the "get variable" called city (whatever 'city' is equal to in the url)

The "htmlspecialchars" function protects you from XSS attacks (where people could inject malicious code into your webpage) which isn't necessary but i advise you leave it in.

Hope this helps

thanks guys, I still can't do this stuff .. pretty frustrating part


$('.pop-up-btn-new').click(function(){
$('.over-clr').fadeOut('fast')
});

$('.question-page-1').show();

$("#rewind").hide();

$( "#1").click(function() {


window.location.href = 'http://mydomain/survey/1.php?city=.$_GET['city']';
});



should be like that right? - I can't get it working :/

hmm I can't get this to work
I try to post it here and see if you guys can help me, I know nothing about coding, so its all trial and error, I tried outsourcing it but this guy didn't wanna do that, so gotta do it myself

this is the simple structure



and I redirecting like this



thanks for the help- i0m going crazy with this stuff

To make it simple, why not create new campaigns in Voluum so that each lander in your sequence is a lander for a new campaign?

Example: http://track.goclickon.us/e9dfc2f5-051d-448f-9f4f-ca5e12284d26?notes={notes}

This is a landing page that has two distinct types of offer. Each offer is then rotated on the back-end using a different campaign in Voluum.

So to create my setup in voluum:

1) Create a campaign to rotate each offer set.
2) Create a offer with the campaign URL from above
3) Create a landing page with two offers, each one pointing to the campaign from the offer.

You can do something similar in that you daisy-chain campaigns together, and sandwich landing pages inbetween. I'd offer this method instead of writing a custom coded landing page as describing the code is a lot trickier than I'd like.

thanks jennatalia for the help

though I think I might not be explaining myself clearly

it's not about multiple offers, it's about redirecting each lander to the next section until the user reach the final one where the offer is, while all of them show the parameters that are trying to be called out, in this case, city and isp.

I had thought as you said to create new campaigns for each one, but this will not be a good idea in Voluum , since they charge per event, so it can get quiet expensive I think , hehe

appreciate your help thoug

You've not copied my code properly. Do it again WITH the <?php part and ?>

Every new campaign you add to the chain adds $0.08 CPM to your tracking cost at the Pro level, that cost applies only to people who make it that far down the funnel.

Is the campaign ROI that sensitive?

and I get

Javascript Syntax Error: missing; before statement on column 61)

This is driving me crazy since yesterday, lol...

yep , it can be quiet sensitive , cause that'd be 8 $ per 1000 visits,

hmmm, still apprciate your help!

I think he meant $0.08 for 1000 visits. Also, I'm looking to do the same thing as you: lander1 -> lander2 -> offer

I asked Voluum support also for help, and they seem to be working on a multi-step campaign feature, but for the meantime they suggested this:
__________________________________________________ ______________
You could make multiple campaigns and do things that way, e.g.

Campaign 1: Pre-lander as a 'lander' and Page A/B/C/etc. as offers they can select on that lander.

On Page A/B/C/etc. you could have links going to campaign 2...

Campaign 2: Duplicated pre-lander (i.e. must be different URL/lander in Voluum), where everything links out to an offer rather than Page A/B/C/etc.

If you want the offer they are sent to here to be specific to the page/link they clicked in Campaign 1, you could make the Campaign 2 links on Page A/B/C/etc. pass a subid like LP=A or B or C.

Then, in the Campaign 2 rules, you could set up paths for different offers when custom variable X = A, or B, or C, etc.


We are currently working on a multi-step campaign feature, and this should be ready in Q2

_________________________

which is still more confusing for me!

@mykeyfocus , your way seems to be the easiest way for a person like me who doesnt know much of this stuff, but I can't make it work - do you think there might be missing something on the line?

thanks everybody

Hire a programmer then. Odds are you're wasting money trying to do this yourself.

Can you paste the code you're trying to get working here (all of it)?

If so, I'll go over it and point out changes you need to make.
