How to Split Test URL's



Do you want to split test landing page url's i.e. traffic source --> 2 diff landing pages?

or split test offer URL's? Second one is easy, just rotate url's on an offer in prosper202.
 
Prosper202 has a nice rotation function built in that I use a lot for direct linking. You just pop in the URLs to rotate in Setup> Step #3. You can do up to 5 URLs at one time.
 
I'm trying to get the same Ad to display 2 different URL's and then track which one converts better.

Awesome, I'll check Prosper out. Does it work with Tracking202 too?

Edited to add: Sorry I forgot to mention that I need it for google adwords. That makes the whole thing harder seeing that
the display and the destination URL need to be the same, so just using a link that then splits the traffic
equally won't work right?
 
create two identical ads and send to two diff landing pages

prosper202 script is good, but you'll run into problem if people refresh or bookmark the page and come back (They'll see the content change or two diff landing pages)

Someone modified that prosper202 script and make it cookie based, so the visitor will also see the same lp, http://snipt.org/lmV

Btw, it was nice to meet you at ase
 
PHP: 
<?php

$link[1] = "http://";
$link[2] = "http://";
$link[3] = "http://";

if (!isset($HTTP_cookie_VARS['link'])){
    $n = count($link);
    $rand = rand(1,$n);
    setcookie("link", $rand, time()+3600);
    header('location:'.$link[$rand]);
}else{
    $go = $link[$_COOKIE['link']];
    header('location:'.$go);
}

?>
havent tried it...

Okay, thanks for the Tip. Identical Ads sounds like the way to go, will be easiest to track too with SubId's.

I'll give it a shot.

Thanks!

Thanks but what exactly does it do and where do I place it? Can't really put it into adwords.
 
you would point to that script in a php file, then put landing page URL's in the links
you would need to add a few things to it to track subids and stuff so if you have it working p202 probably stick to it.
 
Here is something more simple ... have the ad point to site.com/index.php and put the following code there:

<?php
if(rand(0,1) == 0) {
header("Location: http://www.site.com/lander1");
} else {
header("Location: http://www.site.com/lander2");
}
?>
 
If you are just looking for a simple way to track things and have "normal" urls - check out magic link cloaker.

I just took over the site, cleaned up the code, and added a few other features that weren't there originally.

If you want to take it for a spin drop me a PM (no not everyone on the forum - just the OP). It'll cost you telling me what additional features you think it needs.

I think it will do what you want with minimum headaches.
