Right now I'm passing age and state from POF using the c1 and c2 tokens in prosper.

If someone is 33 and lives in california, then when they get to my lander, in their url bar it will say something like:

www.landingpage-v1.com/v1.php?t202id=555&c1=33&c2=california

Is there a way fro me to still pass this info to my lander so I can dynamically insert it into my headlines etc, but without it actually being visible in the url bar?

I can't help but think that if someone looks at the url and sees their exact age and state that they would get suspicious and bail.
 


You could do an additional redirect, save data in a cookie and then pull it from there.

No idea if that's the most efficient way of doing it though... Probably isn't.

Thanks for the response but I'm really hoping someone will share a more efficient way.
 
yup, redirect ...

Or mask the URL bar on your lander (easy, if you don't care about UX navigation issues)

Or hack 202 to strip the parameters and push the data separately, but this would require a custom API and a fair bit of coding

How would I go about doing this?

Does it just change the appearance of the url bar with an image, or is it code that manipulates the visible url?
