Post subject: JavaScript Resets Value when Loaded | Possible Tracking Problem
|
|
Hey Wes, I just wanted to ask something.
I am running a landing page that has navagation, with a home page, videos page, more information, etc.
I have the needed javescript on the home page, but there are some people that will click and go back to the home page a few times to review the content before they click for the free trial and are redirected to the offer.
I was wondering, how does this affect tracking? Does 202 know it's the same person, just going back between a few pages before they want to be redirected?
Since 202 collects information per subid, I was wondering, everytime the javasceipt is loaded, it will replacs the 'tracking202subid' value and the 'tracking202outbound' value when loaded each time.
I was worried information is lost about the user since the new subid won't home the proper information regarding the conversion if one is made.

Sure yeah that will screw it up, if you want you can code something in your php script that says, only load the JS again, if a cookie IS NOT SET.
It'd look something like this
|
Quote:
|
|
<?
if ($_COOKIE['tracking202subid'] == '') {
//if cookie is blank, run the js code again
?><script type="javascript">blahblahlbah<?
} else {
//else if it is already set, do nothing
}
?>

Would I be able to just add that snippet my 'landing page' to get rid of this possible error?

absolutely, just make sure to replace the JS code in the example with your real JS code!

Doesn't seem to prevent the JS from being fired again.

Everytime you refresh it keeps firing?
what if you change
if ($_COOKIE['tracking202subid'] == '') {
to
if (!isset($_COOKIE['tracking202subid'])) {

Does it matter if my index pages are .html or .php? Will this affect those subids in any way? Just wondering

Also, I'm seeing the text "show js js is set already " on my index pages. Not like this matters, if it is already working properly, just thought I'd raise this up.

It should be in .php format since your landing pages will be having the outbound php code to send visitors from your LP to offer page. If it's in html format, it's possible the code could be all broken.

Yes, it does that.
I just replaced the text with a "!" and "." and placed the code at the end of some of my copy sentence. Lol.
