Newbie question: how to load landers? (8)

---

Are there any threads on how to load landers? I tried searching thru the forum but I wasn't able to find anything.

So far I have created a VPS host with Liquid Web along with a cPanel. I have downloaded and connected FileZilla, but I am confused on the next step of how to load a lander onto FileZilla.

Greatly appreciate any advice!

Are you asking how to upload using FTP? Should be just a case of dragging and dropping, Filezilla one of the easier clients to use. Did you get there in the end?

Another important task would be to use a CDN to serve your landers:

Otherwise, if your target geo is quite a distance away from your server location, the lander load speed can be quite slow, which will have devastating effects on your conversion rate.

Hi Roland, I was able to find a youtube video to answer my question. Thanks!

I am anxious to launch a campaign with a lander now but I am lost on what I need to do after I pick a few landers from Adplexity that I would like to test.

I tried searching the forum and I also couldn't find any step by step guide that teaches us how to use landers from Adplexity, scrub what needs to be scrub to work with my offers, and launch thru Pop traffic.

I appreciate your help!

Hi Amy, would I use a CDN instead of the VPS I created thru LiquidWeb? or is this addition to that? Sorry, I am very non technical and this is all new to me. Thanks!

Haha don't worry - I'm very non-technical as well. And I've survived for so long.

I'm actually writing more lessons to cover landers as we speak - but please don't wait for me. You can find all the information you need on various posts. I've linked to many of them in this post:

You'll also want to host your landers on a CDN in order to optimize for loading speed (unless your target geo is close to your server location). This thread will tell you how:

Feel free to ask further questions.

haha...there might be hope for me then!

I will need to look into CDN as I just signed up for VPS a few days ago with Liquid Web. Would you recommend I switch to CDN?

I have found a few landers from AdPlexity and scrubbed them as best that I can.

I looked thru the threads that you have referenced but I have a few more questions. How do I test my lander to make sure it works and that it is linked to my offer?

Is this the steps for the links: Paste Mobidea offer link to Voluum new offer, create campaign and paste campaign URL to lander?

I feel so overwhelmed and lost....I notice there is a "Landers" tab in Voluum, am I suppose to input my lander URL in there?

Thanks for the help!

Basically there are 2 things you'll need:

1)Somewhere to store your landers - like your VPS, or Amazon S3 (which will likely cost less),

and

2)A CDN to distribute your landers to lots and lots of locations around the world, so that your landers will be served to each visitor from the location closest to that visitor (in order to minimize loading speed, which is of paramount importance if you want to keep the visitor from leaving your page, as nobody has much patience these days); and there are multiple CDN services, of which Amazon Cloudfront is just one.

So having a VPS doesn't mean you won't need a CDN, and therefore no switching is necessary - you just need to get a CDN in addition to the VPS.


This will help you:

Basically, after you've fixed up your lander, all you need to do to "link" the lander with voluum, is replace all outgoing links with voluum's click url (which you can find in voluum settings / little gear icon at the top -> Setup tab).

Then, you'd add the offer to voluum, and also add the landing page url to voluum.

When adding the landing page url to voluum, you may need to append some tokens to the url, depending on whether the lander needs to display visitor-specific information such as location and device. You know when you see advertising that says "Welcome visitor from London, UK! Your iPhone 6s has been infected with a gazillion viruses, click here to remove"? In this case, when you're adding the lander url to voluum, you'll need to attach tokens at the end of that url so that every time voluum directs a visitor to the lander, it will know to "tell" the lander which city/country the visitor is from and what device they're using. If you want to do an example feel free to post lander code and I'll show you which tokens to append to the url in voluum.

Lastly, you'd create a campaign in voluum, and specify in campaign settings the offer(s) and lander(s) you want to add to rotation. Voluum will handle the rest.

So to clarify, you won't actually specify in the lander code which offer it needs to go to. You put the voluum click url as the outgoing links and just let voluum handle it, so you can control everything within voluum's campaign settings.

To verify the landers are working, paste the voluum campaign url to your browser (don't browse directly to your lander url). You can click through the lander to get directed to the offer, but depending on your location and the device you're using, you may not actually get sent to the correct offer. This is because affiliate networks will automatically detect your information - location, device etc. - to make sure the offer accepts such traffic, and if not, they will direct you to an offer that DOES.

So for example, say an offer only accepts traffic from the UK, and you're in the US, then when you try to see the offer, the aff network would know that the offer doesn't accept traffic from the US, and redirect you to an offer that DOES accept US traffic. This is in place to monetize traffic more effectively.

Therefore - if you REALLY want to test your setup, just run actual traffic to it, and then log into your aff network to look at offer stats, to make sure the traffic is going to the intended offer(s).

If it is, you're good.

Lastly you'll need to also set up your postback. When you make your first conversion and it shows up in the tracker, you'll know your entire tracking setup is correct.

Let me know if you still have questions.
