Redirection script to boost sales with Aweber
I am trying to embed a 4-day sale into an autoresponder series (Aweber). I want the sale to work only if the subscriber clicks within 4 days of the initial send.
I think the best way to do this is use Aweber's personalization variable for DATE, and inject it into the target URL.
So the URL I'd ask people to click on would be:
www.MySite.com/sale.php?{datecode-goes-here]
The php file would grab the date code from the URL and compare against today's date. It would then forward to the actual sale URL if the difference is less than 5 days. It would forward to a secondary URL if the diff was 5 days or more (meaning the sale is over).
Obviously length of sale could be changed by a simple variable in the file.
Here's one page I found with some sorta similar stuff:
Redirect Based On Date AND Time [Archive] - Dynamic Drive Forums
Does anyone feel like helping me code this up? I need it for my business, but you (coder) could easily create a tutorial on how to use this to boost sales in an autoresponder sequence. It would make a nice WSO for you
