Post subject: Using the Prosper Landing Page URL as Form Action
|
|
I have an offer that I would like to track that allows me to place a form on my website and when the visitor clicks the submit button the information is transferred to the merchant using my clickbank URL.
The form element uses GET for the method and I tried using my landing page URL that was generated by Prosper202 as the form's action. But this didn't work (in fact it looks like it's trying to redirect to a completely different place).
I can add my clickbank tid to the form element as a hidden field, but I have no way of getting the unique tid assigned to each particular click.
How can I track my landing page that uses a form provided by the merchant and still be able to have accurate subids?

You should be able to do this just fine. Are you placing the javascript code on the page? Is there any real reason to use the form though? are you just to pre-fill data on the offer page?

I've got the javascript code on the page, but when I try to use the landing page URL as the form action it redirects to a completely different AFF Campaign that I've got setup, not sure why that's happening.
Yes, I'm using the form on my page so that I can send the user to step 2 of the process rather than having to enter their information on the merchants page.

Does the affiliate campaign have the correct SUBID for each of it.
It's redirecting to a completly different campaign? Are you sure we have the right JS for the right landingpage to campaign, what happens if u generate a new landing page code to double check it?
If you want to forward them to step 2, we can just do a number link instead of a FORM submit, if we aren't passing any Extra Information, we might as well make it easier in a link, or a link as a button or something.
If you are trying to pass information as variables to the offer page through your affiliate link, but slamming in like the zip to carry through to the offer-page so they don't have to fill it out twice (if I'm getting you correctly) take a look at this: http://www.exosus.com/?p=26

I think that link you posted might work for me.
Here's my setup:
1. The merchant landing page has a form field, say ZIP Code. When the visitor enters a ZIP into this form field it sends the visitor to step 2 of the process. This form is sent using a GET request.
2. My Landing page has a replica of the form with the same field for the ZIP code. I am also using a GET request. The action attribute for this form is set to my affiliate URL that was generated from ClickBank.
I want to have the visitor land on my landing page, enter their ZIP into MY form and have it send the visitor to the second step in the merchant's process. Because my form has certain hidden fields, the merchant page knows to send the visitor to step 2 rather than display their own version of the form.
I'm going to look more closely at that link, but I think it solves this problem.

Yes, sounds correct, that tutorial should help you, sounds like you got the idea down now. Please let me know if you need any further help!

Well it seems to be working, except that it's not passing the subid correctly, but I must have goofed the setup somewhere.
EDIT:
Found the problem, I was sending the subid to to Clickbank as "subid" rather than "tid".

Hi i am having the same problem with my action form
my form uses post to transfer data and i have many more variables to transfer.
when i submit the form through the affiliate link the variables get transferred correctly but when i use the p202 lp link the variables get lost.
And the pre-pop link doesn't help me out either.

The problem with a POST request is that when the request hits the p202 link all of the posted values are lost upon the redirect to the affiliate merchant.
You'd need to find some way to re-post the form when the visitor hits the p202 link. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is to have some page where you build a form and submit it using javascript.

Yeah its little werid so the best way is to POST THE variables, then COOKIE then in the users browser, send the link to t202, and then have it go back to you, where u pickup the cookies again and then redirect out to the affiliate url like shown in the pre-pop up script section by justin.

Can you post a code-snippet of the stuff your working with now, are you cooking all the variables? We can make it work, can u get one variable working at first, like in the example, and then move onto the next.
