Hey guys, I need Prosper to count every click from a LP to multiple different Links on the page.

Atm if a person clicks on 3 links, the click is only counted for the last link they clicked on.

Anyone have a solution for the problem?

Thx!
 


Only thing i came up with is to create a different campaign for each link and use an advanced landing page.

Also interested in this.
 
it actually only counts the first - one hack is to use an intermediate page and re-fire the landing page .js

ie

instead of

landingpage.php <with yourprosper.js script at bottom>

then

offerlink.php

you'd have

landingpage.php <with yourprosper.js script at bottom>

then

offerlink.html (or php) < simple html file with a 1 second meta refresh to offerout.php <explained below> WHICH also contains your prosper javascript. Throw a 'please wait, you're being redirected to the webpage you requested' text w/ a spinning animated gif up >

offerout.php - your normal offer link from p202 just like in the first example and how you're currently doing it.


How this works: let's start with subid #1111 - the visitor hits your LP - gets assigned 1111 from the .js firing. They then decide to cleanse their fucking colonz - they click on your colon offer link which fires the .js again- assigning them #1112 and then 1 second later directing them to your colon 202.php link. The outbound link tracks.

They then decide that berries will get them off the rascal scooter they ride around walmart - so they click that. Yup- you guessed it, they're assigned 1113 by the .js firing again.

And so on.

Pixels firing WILL record accurate revenue back to prosper, and you'll see each click. NOTE however- it will NOT roll out to 1 'visit' so your logs/reports get messy - it's a trade off for doing this BUT with the new grouping features you can easily determing average revenue per visitor by sorting by IP address.

If you also need to you could also pass t202id and t202kw from your landing page to each offer.html meta page via php so that when the landing page .js re-fires every time someone clicks a link it pulls in the ad/keyword/trafficsource.

even this sounds like it can get awfully messy w/ thousands of clicks a day. are there any other solutions?

yeah, hack prosper's core since it's open source

I've long thought that building some intermediary 'counting' system when pixels fire which then automatically updates the revenue per subid using the same module that their reports uploads does would work.

though I have zero idea how to even begin coding something like that, so I've used other methods as described above (I don't take credit for that method either btw)
 
I did ages ago and it was negligible.

You can usually get away with a 0 - depends on speed and the worst thing that happens then is your JS may occasionally not fire (test that) which simply means that it won't record a new subid and will function as it is for you currently.
 
I think I invented the said hack above ;)

Put the Prosper JS above the meta refresh and change the seconds to 0. That way the browser executes the Prosper JS before hitting the instant meta refresh.
