The Landing page is totally blank

I can't see the landing page even I got the url, I have met similar problem when I was using Imobitrax(I can see landing page if I click the tracking link first, but I can see nothing if I directly click the landing page url), so is there any method the check the landing page?

What does the source code on that URL say?

It's probably a PHP error. Check server's error log.

i think it's an anti-spying method , the domain wasn't indexeed due to robots.txt

robots.txt has nothing to do if you can browse an URL with your browser. Only web spiders care.

There some advertisers working with some kind of "anti-spying" methods or something, where they use some kind of session and don't serve the content if you call that URL on another device.
I thought we were talking about your landing page. If so, then @kinghustler could also be right. If you have no error reporting enabled and there is an error you will get a blank page.

Definitely sounds like a PHP error.

The only alternative would be if your page had PHP code at the top of it which controlled content delivery based on referrer/sessions, but this would be odd to have in a tracking system as it would be a PITA to work with smoothly.

If you can repeat the tracking link test vs the direct URL test over and over, there's a good chance the advertiser is actively cloaking against spying efforts.

It's possible to check referrer to look for tracking domain, or the tracking domain is passing a specific GET variable in the URL that the page is looking for. Or the page internally has a counter, and if you try to access the same counter number twice the page will blank on you.

Without the URL itself, it's hard to know for sure, but I'm of the opinion the landing page owner is actively working to prevent spying.

edit: It wasn't clear if it was your landing page, or someone else's landing page that you're spying on. The above text applies if this is someone else's landing page.

This isn't really related but I'm just throwing it out there just in case....
Yesterday one of my Thrive campaign URLs led me to a blank page with a load of PHP errors.
I noticed the error after adding another LP into the rotation and testing the Campaign URL..

The campaign was already set up and working up to this point (and luckily the traffic was paused-day parting hours etc)

It turned out that I had unknowingly set all landing pages to zero weight and luckily I figured it out pretty quickly without
contacting support.

I've never used imobitrax so I can't comment on that but who knows. Just double check all the campaign settings (which I'm sure you've already done)
or try setting up a duplicate campaign and see if the errors still exist.

Well, it's not my landing page, when I was spying, I found a url with a lot of Europe Traffic, I have the landing page url (.php), but I can't see what the landing page is , If you have interest, I can send U the url

Yep, sounds like their anti-spying measures are doing the trick

If that's from iMobiTrax - I don't think you can see it. You need to add "s=test&c=CAMPAIGNID" to the end of the landing page url. But since you can't possibly know the ID number, it won't work.
The only solution is to start from number 1 and work up to find that campaign ID... Might be thousands though. And might not be iMobiTrax...
