how do I find out where my opt ins are coming from

3 replies
I am currently split testing a campaign to see which opt in page has the highest opt in rate.

Now the problem I am having is that, I dont know which site the leads are coming from.

I use getresponse, I know I am probably just over looking something here.

but how do I find out which site the leads are coming from

    Hi Nicholas,

    GetResponse allows you to put a tracking id in one of the hidden form tags.

    Example:
    input type="hidden" name="ref" value="Whatever-ID-You-Want"

    I think it has a 3 character or 3-digit limitation.

    Also, a good solution for you might be to NOT use the same opt-in form for all your traffic sources. Ideally, you want to use a seperate landing page and opt-in for each traffic source.

    For example; one for the search engines, one for traffic from direct marketing, one for traffic from articles, etc.

    Tedious? Yes. But, you can test and track all your traffic sources and see which one works best. And by using seperate or trackable/coded opt-in forms, you'll know which source gives you the most opt-ins.

    Of course, there's software to handle this type of thing and make your life easier. Look into Adminder. I haven't used it, but hear it's good. You might also try Landing Page System. I use it, but it can be a pain in the neck at times.

    Hope this helps.

    - Jay

    You just gave me an idea for my mail list program. Thanks!

    I didn't even think of adding a feature to track where a user came from. Of course you have separate lists and opt in forms with my software but this will give you an even better idea of what is working for you. Thanks!
