Prosper202 and WordPress Landing Pages
One of the major headaches you will run into when using Prosper202 and WordPress combined is integrating the tracking code on a per post basis.
Let’s assume that you want to send visitors to http://www.YourBLogDomain.com/post-landing-page.html and the same page is your PPC landing page.
Simply copy and pasting the default JavaScript code given to you by Prosper202 into the footer.php file you will essentially be placing the code on every page of your web site. This is a problem because the code they provide is not a true analytics code it can only be placed on the actual landing page that you are sending traffic to.
What you first need to do is identify the post ID of your “Post / Landing Page”.
Then modify the below code:
[form 2 "Prosper202 - WordPress"]
In the code example above “18″ is the post ID (make sure to modify this to the actual post ID that you are using as your landing page. Then make sure to modify the http:// to your specific url of your prosper202 installation.
What this code is doing is basically saying (IF the mentioned Post ID is open, Then Add Prosper202 Tracking Code).
Add this code just above the closing tag and you will be all set and ready to go.
I originally learned this method from Nicky Cakes blog, however I spent another 1 hour working on it because his code didn’t work.
For those of you who found this blog and his, notice the different use of ” and ‘. . . . It really makes a huge difference.
I am using WordPress 2.7 as I write this post.
