Bot Setup on LP and Voluum Tracker (8)

---

Hello,

I'm wondering if someone could review my offer setup under the Voluum LP with the Parses Javascript as I am not sure that I set things up correctly.
I tested the funnel by inputting the campaign URL into my browser and going through the LP and clicking on the offer via my desktop. I am not sure that I setup the multitracker correctly on my landing page. I've been struggling with this the past few days. It doesn't seem that Voluum is correctly capturing the clicks under Parses Javascript. I apologize as I just know the bare basics in terms of HTML and JS. I am following Vortex's 40 day tutorial and have arrived at the LP section. I've been able to rip some LPs from Adplexity and have successfully modified some already which I used in 3 previous camps. However, I want to now test bot traffic in two new campaigns and I've hit a wall with trying to set this up correctly.

Here is my setup.

Voluum LP

Lander URL: https://xxxxxx.xyz/PE/1_files/.html
2 Offers

Voluum Offers

1. Mobidea - Peru - XXXXX
Offer URL: https://www.xxxxxx.com/offer/xxxxxx|xxxxxx?data4={campaign.id}&data5={trafficso urce.id}&tag={clickid}
Affiliate Network: Mobidea
Payout: Auto

2. Global - Parses Javascript
Offer URL: https://www.google.com
Affiliate Network: None
Payout: Auto

Voluum Campaign (default paths)

Landers: Landing page from above
Offer 1: Actual offer from Mobidea (50%)
Offer 2: Parses Javascript (50%)


LP tracker information and bot script

tracking URL info (1 offer): href="https://xxxxxx-xxxxxx.com/click/1"

Bot script added to the top of LP
<style>iframe {
visibility: hidden;
position: absolute;
left: 0; top: 0;
height:0; width:0;
border: none;
}</style>

Bot script added to the bottom of the LP

<script>


u1 = https://xxxxxx-xxxxxx.com;


u2 = click/2;


document.write('<iframe src="' + u1 + "/" + u2 + '"></iframe>');

</script>


I am not sure if I am missing some vital information in my setup or if I am going about setting up the bot tracking script all wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Rondog, the 'parses javascript' technique isn't easy to understand at first.

In short word, that script load into an invisible iframe the google.com page (or the url that you choose in your 'number two offer' - click/2).
You can assume that an iFrame is like a 'window' into your landing page that show another page (google in this case) - get invisible with css.

Bot (or major part of them) don't runs javascript like 'real' internet browser does.

Each time that a user (with a standard browser) land on your LP, that script load the iframe and Voluum track that action like a click in your parses javascript offer.

When is a bot, voluume doesn't fire no one click.

So reading the parses js offers tabs in Voluum you can assume that :
- visits = impressions (real+bot)
- click = impressions on real browser
- CTR = % of real people that land on your page.

I need a little to understand that... but when i realized the truth it was folgoration

Thanks funntastic, I think I can grasp what your saying. So, my setup is indeed correct even though when I test the funnel myself through my web browser it doesn’t capture the click when I go to my main offer.

Did you set up your LP with 2 offers in Voluum?

Yes

Your setup seems right.
If you want to track clicks with your browser you’re supposed to put ‘Voluum campaign’ url into it, not lp url.
If you’re still doing that I can’t figure where the problem is

This is weird indeed! And funntastic has provided an awesome explanation plus asked all the right troubleshooting questions.

I know it's been asked, but want to ask rondog to verify this again: When adding the new modified lander to Voluum, it had a field for the number of offers. Normally we would leave it at the default "1", but in this case we'd need to change it to "2". Have you done this? If unsure please try to add a new lander in Voluum and you'll see the setting for the number of offers. This setting cannot be edited once the lander is saved. You'd need to save the same lander under a different lander name if you're wanting to update the number of offers.

Other than that I really can't think of anything else. Perhaps show us a screenshot od the resulting stats? Just to verify that something is indeed amiss.

Thanks Vortex, yes on the lander in Voluum I updated the number of offers to “2”. I will try running some test traffic to another lander with the bot script to see if this keeps on occurring.
