In my brief experience here, technical newbie questions often get lost in a constant flood of the ever popular "tell me a profitable niche" or "i lost $23 on adwords so affiliate marketing is a scam" threads, but hopefully someone out there can help me out

I started doing some list building via PPV, and I want to know which URLs I'm getting signups from. I have my tracking set up in tracking202, but I figure this would have to be done by passing the referrer URL through a custom hidden field in the aweber form. I'm not sure of the specifics though, can anyone give me a hand?

Thanks, your help is appreciated.

Well, I guess I'll respond to my own post, in case anyone else wants to know.

Step 1: Set up custom fields in Aweber. My Lists --> Custom Fields.

Your landing page url w/ tracking202 should look something like this:
yourdomain.com/yourlander/?t202id=1234&t202kw=

You will set up 2 custom fields, name one t202id, and the other one t202kw. It doesn't really matter what you name them, as long as you know which variables you're pulling.

Step 2: Assuming you already have your form set up, insert the following code into your form, along with the other hidden fields:

<input type="hidden" name="custom t202kw" value="<?php echo $_GET['t202kw'];?>" />

<input type="hidden" name="custom t202id" value="<?php echo $_GET['t202id'];?>" />

If your custom field has another name, change the appropriate variables (shown in bold).

And that should be all there is too it, unless I left something out. Your form should pass on the t202 id and kw variables to aweber. Click "Export CSV" in the Subscribers section to view the info.

If there's a better way to do it or if I left something out/made a mistake, let me know.
