Rotation Offers in Voluum + Bot Detection Script (5)

---

Caurmen posted an excellent bot detection script here:

https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...live-campaigns

It depends on putting adding an additional offer to the landing page, that tests for JavaScript-enabled clients.

So a lander may have 2 (or more) offers:

Offer 1: Bot detection script (click/1)
Offer 2: Real offer (click/2)

Voluum will let you rotate offers, but only if you use a lander with a single offer and you add multiple offers to the campaign.

Is there a way to implement this bot detection script, while still rotating offers within Voluum?

I'm afraid this is not possible ... I just had a look myself, looks like when you select a multi offer LP, it will only allow to add the same amount of offers as you specified when creating the LP ... which leaves no space for adding some more for rotating.

There could be a workaround - you could setup a new campaign with the offers you want to rotate, and use that campaign url as your offer 2. I'm afraid you will lose some tracking data this way though.

Set up multiple PATHs. For example if you have 2 real offers:

PATH 1

LANDER
-Lander1

OFFER
-Offer1
-Parses Javascript


PATH 2

LANDER
-Lander1

OFFER
-Offer2
-Parses Javascript



If you're wanting to test multiple offers AND multiple landers, it would take more time to set up: You'd need to set up a PATH for EACH lander+offer combination.

So for example if you have 5 landers and 3 offers, that would mean having to set up 5 x 3 = 15 paths.

That's a nice reminder - I should include more instructions in the 40-day tutorial on how to implement the bot test - adding this to my to-do list. Thank you!

Just kind of curious, if I did it this way, what tracking data would I lose?

I think that testing multiple landers with multiple offers can be done similar to one lander. Using Amy's prototype above, the setup will look like this (for 3 landers and 2 offers as an example):

PATH 1

LANDER
-Lander1
-Lander2
-Lander3

OFFER
-Offer1
-Parses Javascript


PATH 2

LANDER
-Lander1
-Lander2
-Lander3

OFFER
-Offer2
-Parses Javascript


All landers should be set up to take two offers (at the time of adding them to Voluum) , and have two links in their body:
http://yourvollumtrackingdomain.com/click/1 - for real offer link
http://yourvollumtrackingdomain.com/click/2 - for Caurmen iframe script

I tested this manually, at it seems that Voluum will rotate between each path (which corresponds to rotation of offers) , and within each path will rotate between each lander. So it rotates evenly between each of offer-lander combinations. I will test with real traffic tonight.
