Hi,

I have a landing page setup with an aweber form. The thank you page for aweber goes to a seperate page that has some affiliate offers on it.

I'd like to do a few things.

I'd like to be able to pass along the traffic source for each aweber signup, so that if they convert through email I can see the source.

I'd also like to be able to track the conversions on the offers on the thank you page. How can I pass the prosper information from the initial landing page through to the thank you page so that it can still keep everything straight?

Thank you,

Dave

Dave,

Have you found a solution to this yet? You can pass along information from page to page using what I call URL Tokens. The php page is then programmed to look for these tokens and then continue to pass them on to the next page and so on.

Example page url: somedomain.com/page.php?token=value

The very first variable key, or token, is always proceeded by a question mark. If there are other tokens in the url, then they are proceeded by an ampersand. (&)

The key in the example is called token, but can be any alphanumeric.

If the page.php file doesn't have any coding to look for "token" token, then it just ignores it. But if it is programmed, then it may look a lot like this:

<?php if (!empty($_GET['token'])) {$token = $_GET['token']} ?>

So then later on in the page.php code, when you put in a link like <a href="page2.php"> you could pass on the token from the variable called $token in our example. Here is what it might look like:

<a href="page2.php<?php echo "?token=$token"; ?>">

Thanks for explaining tokens and posting the code. How would you use it in conjunction with prosper202 (since p202 is already using the subid value)? I guess you could append the token value to the subid though.
