Optimizepress and cookie monster wordpress plugin tracking

by chad1775
3 replies
I am using the cookie monster wordpress plugin on optimizepress 2.0. I set my URL parameter with cookie monster to [id]. I want to know how to set the parameters of the re-direct link... if the affiliate id is at the front of the url...

Example using 123456 as my affiliate id...
http://123456.opportunity .com
(thats is just an example, not the real site)

If it went to a page link this I would just put my [id] after ...

http://opportunity .com/freevideo.php?user=123456

But I don't understand what to put at the front of the link I am trying to redirect to. I tried this and it did not work...

http://[id].opportunity .com

Any help would be awesome. Been trying to get past this forever so I can make some squeeze pages that have interchangeable affiliate tracking id's so my team can use them as well.

    Would it not work by putting the tracking parameters at the end of the URL

    freevideo.opportunity.com?user=123456

    (freevideo) would be your sub-domain.

      No, the site I am trying to send it to has the affiliate id at the front only.

    Cookie Monster is a short code that is placed within the content of your site. It is to set the variable for INBOUND traffic, from a specific user.


    I have site A that has a link to site B. From site A my link is .com?refcode=client. That carries to site B. At site B the Cookie Monster code adjusts all the variable code to "client". This way you can track what actions takes place. IE a sale on your site. and from what code / site it came from.

    Hope that Helps!
