Okay, sorry it has been a week or so since writing about the iframer. I’ve been pretty busy with my personal marketing, and I now have a house full of Italians. My wife’s sisters are visiting for a month so this should be interesting.

I have uploaded a new version of the iframer/rotator thanks to Yebot. He has included a section to add for your tracking and a section for dynamic keywords. So you can either jump over to the Free Ruck Reports or you can click here to download the new iframer/rotator.

The tracking feature is pretty easy to use. Around line 65 you will find a comment about inserting your tracking script. Just place it between the two comments and you will be good to go.

The dynamic keyword tracking will be a little different. The script can now pass a keyword to your CPA network via the URL. In order for this to work your URLs will need to look like this: http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?kw=yourkeyword
If you are adding the script to a folder then your URL will look like this http://www.yourdomain.com/folder/index.php?kw=yourkeyword
It is not necessary to use the keyword passing function, but if you wanted to, it is there for the taking.

The tricky part of this will be gathering the correct URL from the CPA network. Because this is PPC, you will want to use the Search Creative URL that they give you. However sometimes they don’t always give you this URL yet they say it is for search. For example on Convert2Media I have chosen the “Debt Avenger - Lead Gen (46)”. It says that it is promotable by Search, however, no search creative can be found. So I will be using the text ad creative at the bottom.

The generic URL for this offer looks like this: http://convert.Convert2Media.com/z/852/CD39/
This URL by itself will not let us pass the keyword through to them. We need to use the subid function for keyword tracking purposes. Some CPA networks only allow for 1 subid, some allow for up to 5. When the network asks you for a subid just put “keyword”. This is going to be a space filler for right now. In the case of the debt avenger offer the URL with subid “keyword” would look like this: http://convert.Convert2Media.com/z/852/CD39/&subid1=keyword
Unfortunately we aren’t done yet. In order for the keyword to properly be passed we need to now delete the word “keyword” from the URL with the subid inserted. This will leave our URL to look like this: http://convert.Convert2Media.com/z/852/CD39/&subid1=
This is the proper format for the URLs that we want to use in the rotator IF we want to pass the keyword to the CPA network. Do you see the difference? The URL has appended &subid1= to the end. This is what the CPA network needs in order to pass a keyword from your site to theirs.

Make sure you copy and paste the proper URL into the script.

Now it’s just a matter of sending visitors to your site via the ?kw=keyword function. Remember, your URL should now look like: http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?kw=keyword

Pretty kool eh?

Remember, when using this URL you will want to add several offers. I try and rotate between 3 and 5 offers at a time. This helps to ensure quick split testing. If you try and work one offer at a time you will most likely burn through money trying to find a converting offer. Remember, this is not for offers like free iPhones or free iPods. This is for dating offers, insurance offers, and other big ticket items.

If you have any questions about this PLEASE ASK. Remember, no question is a stupid question, and we are all here to learn.
