Ok, I don't remember exactly where I read this from (so many pages, so many words, so many codes....AAAAARGH), but one of them had a person stating that they got the tracking to work on their Wordpress landing page in Simple Landing Page format.

So following that, this is what I have done and the results I've received so far:

1. I disabled WYSIWYG editor mode in Wordpress.

2. I installed and activated PHP and JAVA code plug-in stuff in Wordpress.

3. I went through all the steps in Tracking202 for setting up a Simple Landing Page and text ad.

4. I inserted the Simple Landing Page text ad in my PPC text ad with the "={keyword}" at the end to track the keywords.

5. Inserted the outbound link from Tracking202's Simple Landing Page to my landing page as the outbound link.

6. Inserted the JAVA code at the bottom of my post (as I recalled the person that I mentioned at the top, who had the Wordpress and Tracking202 working well together to track each keyword).

7. I didn't use the PHP provided from the Tracking202 page (again, as I recalled from the person's post).

When I copy and paste the text ad code into my browser as a test with "={keywordtest}" and hit enter, I am led to my landing page and I can see the SubID still attached at the end.

So far, so good.

I click on the outbound link from my landing page and am led to the merchant page. Good.

I check my stats on Tracking202 and can see that the {keywordtest} is registered on the system; I think this means that the JAVA code is working. Good.

HOWEVER, when I check on my CPA network for SubIDs, nothing shows up. NOT good.

I am totally lost.

I have come a long way, again only by my own LOW standards, but I am again stomped. I have checked other posts, and read through that NickyCakes post, but I'm totally lost when he starts talking about editing PHP stuff.

Is there an easy way to setup a Simple Landing Page tracking with Wordpress at all?

Or if not -and I'm bent on getting tracking setup without having to do all that techie coding stuff- is there another platform I should be using instead of the Wordpress?

Thanks to everyone and anyone who can offer their advice.

Hi Tomcha,

It looks like you are doing everything fine. Some networks only track subids of conversions, so that might be the issue here. Also it is possible that it might be a direct network issue, so you can contact them and figure it out. If none of those seem to be the fix, you can PM you lander to support@tracking202.com and I can take a look at exactly what is going on.

thanks for the post,

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the reply. The network I'm using (Hydra) does log every click regardless of action/sale; so every test should register on their system.

However, all I see is the clicks going up without SubIDs registering.

Quite frustrating indeed. My most hoped for combo to use was Wordpress and Tracking202, but this seems less and less likely to happen.

Any suggestions you can think of?

Thanks.

*PS. I would have replied sooner, but didn't get the notification that there was a reply post even though I had that box checked.

Tomcha,

Got your lander everything is perfect except your link needs to be linked to the redirect. Right now you have it hardcoded to the offer. In order for the subid to be passed to the network it needs to be passed through the redirect.

I hope this helps, and sorry for not being more clear about PM. If you are still not clear on this you can email me at support@tracking202.com.

Thanks,

Alex
