Creating an "OTO-like" page...

by RobJulien
6 replies
Hi,

I'm having trouble creating urgency in my sales funnel. I'm trying to use a "limited time" offer but don't want to lie by leaving the page accessible after the time limit is up, and I don't want to have to manually change the location of the page each day either.

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to create a page that once accessed, is only available for a limited time (20 days for example) for that particular IP address.

Thanks in advance,

Rob..

    You'll need to use some scripting and a database (I would suggest PHP/MySQL). You could also do it with javascript and cookies, but it's not very reliable, and depending on your intention, it's not very secure (they could just clear the cookies and get back to the site).

    The PHP / MySQL way would go like this:

    1. create a db table to hold the ips of visitors to the site and the time they first visited
    2. run a php script on the page to check against the current ip and the ones in the db to make sure they haven't timed out

    Any web programmer will be able to do this pretty easily, it's actually not to difficult of a problem to solve.

    Hope this helps.

      Wow, yeah, that's great.

      I'm not gonna lie, I could (and will) learn how to do that, but right now it's definitely beyond my basic html abilities. Any idea where the best place to get that done would be (scriptlance?) and how much I should pay to have it done?

      Sorry for all the questions, but if I was to outsource this, are there any other details I should include in my project details.

      Very much appreciated,

      Rob...

    Any place you can find a freelancer (Getafreelancer, elance, or just ask on the forum).

    If you just let whoever you want to do it know what you said in the first post they should (if they are good) ask the right questions to get you exactly what you need.

    How much you want to pay depends on the market, I believe coding jobs like this are around 20 - 30 an hour.

    There is script that you easily upload on your page. There are timers and count downs.

    What happens is the script will do all the work so you don't have to . I admire your intent to not lie to your potential customers. Kudos to you.

    Try this...

    This is a number count down script. Directions included
    <!-- THREE STEPS TO INSTALL NUMBER COUNTDOWN:

    1. Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document
    2. Add the onLoad event handler into the BODY tag
    3. Put the last coding into the BODY of your HTML document -->

    <!-- STEP ONE: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document -->

    <HEAD>

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

    <!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
    <!-- The JavaScript Source!! JavaScript Source: Free JavaScripts, Tutorials, Example Code, Reference, Resources, and Help -->
    <!-- Ben (BassClar89@aol.com) -->

    <!-- Begin
    <!--
    var g_iCount = new Number();

    // CHANGE THE COUNTDOWN NUMBER HERE - ADD ONE TO IT //
    var g_iCount = 11;

    function startCountdown(){
    if((g_iCount - 1) >= 0){
    g_iCount = g_iCount - 1;
    numberCountdown.innerText = '00:00.0' + g_iCount;
    setTimeout('startCountdown()',1000);
    }
    }
    // End -->
    </script>

    </HEAD>

    <!-- STEP TWO: Insert the onLoad event handler into your BODY tag -->

    <BODY onLoad="startCountdown()">

    <!-- STEP THREE: Copy this code into the BODY of your HTML document -->

    <font face="Digital Readout Upright" color="blue" size="7">
    <div align="center" id="numberCountdown"></div>
    </font>

    </center><p>

    <!-- Script Size: 1.33 KB -->

    Hope it helps.

      Wow, Rhonda, that's great.

      I'm not sure if you read the posts before this, but does this script work by remembering IP addresses? Or is it a bit different?

      Also, do you run this script as well with no problems?

      Thanks so much for this, it's really a huge help!
