Squeeze page email confirmation problem

19 replies
Can someone answer a quick question for me. I wanted to check my squeeze page was working so I registered an email address, instead of requesting to confirm email it went directly to my download page? I'm using aweber.

what have I done wrong?

    Check your list settings at Aweber as it sounds like you set it up as single opt-in.

      Another setting to check is whether you accidentally put the address for your download page in the field for a custom confirmation page.

    My 'require opt in on web forms' is on if that's what you mean?

    the confirm email address email is being sent but you shouldn't be able to access the download page until the second email with the link in?

    thanks Jim, I sent them an email before there. Thought I'd post on here too in case I was doing something really obvious. I'll see what they say but if anyone else has any ideas please let me know.

    It will be in the create a form section, under settings.

    It will give you a choice "default" or select the tab and chose custom "thank you".

    Put in your thank you page URL. Click Save.

      I've went into the web form I've created. Under settings the thank you page says 'basic version'. You saying to change that to custom and add my thank you url?

      When I preview the basic it looks exactly how I want it to. I want that screen to come up when someone enters their address on my website but instead it goes to the thank you page.

    You have it set for signal optin.

    Click on the list tab and at the bottom set it for double optin.

    aweber are saying it is to do with html coding for that form. Someone else made my squeeze page for me. I'll have to figure out how to amend the html code so it doesn't do this.

    This isn't normal is it, for you to be able to access the free download before you confirm your email address? I'll end up with a lot less opt ins this way.

    There's the problem. You have to integrate your optin form with the one made for you.

    The values are wrong in the code.

    Show the optin code that was made for you.

    Create the most basic form for the list you want and show that code.

    And I will make you the "right" code for you right here.

    this is the code now:

    <form class="af-form-wrapper" method="POST" action="http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl" accept-charset="UTF-8">
    <input type="hidden" value="235576862" name="meta_web_form_id">
    <input type="hidden" value="" name="meta_split_id">
    <input id="redirect_34d40a679f632c6ba2b6d37b9344778c" type="hidden" value="http://imtips.info/ty.html" name="redirect"> [/COLOR]
    <input type="hidden" value="cjwin1" name="listname">
    <input type="hidden" value="cwinform" name="meta_adtracking">
    <input type="hidden" value="1" name="meta_message">
    <input type="hidden" value="email" name="meta_required">
    <p align="center">
    <input id="email" class="text" type="text" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Enter Your Best Email Here';}" onfocus="this.value=''" name="email" value="Enter Your Best E-Mail" size="20">
    <br>
    <input class="button1" type="image" name="submit" src="images/submit.png">
    </p>
    </form>

    Do I just need to amend the http://imtips.info/ty so it doesn't redirect to that page?

    the web form code as given on aweber is:

      I'm not an Aweber expert, but it does look like whoever set the form up for you set it to redirect to your download page. Try changing it out for the redirect in the Aweber version.

    I've amended the redirect so it goes to the aweber thank you page. Amazingly, it's worked. Actually surprised myself.

    Thank you all very much for your help!
