Redirect Question - Getting G Website Optimizer to Count Click as Conversion

Hi,

I'm pretty bad when it comes to coding anything, so I hope you can help me out.

I have a landing page where I need Google Website Optimizer to count clicks on a download link as conversions.

There's an official explanation by Google on how to do this (link) but I couldn't get that to work...

Now, I've had the following idea: Would it be possible to point the conversion-links at a page that simply loads the normal Optimizer conversion script and then immediately redirects to the download? This would probably be the easer solution (easier to set up).

So here's the question: How can I create a page which loads the conversion script and then redirects immediately after?

Thanks!

  • It is possible. Just create a simple, blank page, and put this code in:


    HTML Code:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
 <HEAD>
  <TITLE> Redirecting to the download page </TITLE>
  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://site.com/download">
 </HEAD>

 <BODY>
Redirecting to the download page  
 </BODY>
</HTML>
    Then:
    1. Replace the download link instead of http://site.com/download
    2. Place your conversion tracking script before the /body tag.

    What the page does is to wait 5 seconds for the conversion to be tracked and then redirect to the download page.
  • Awesome! Thank you very much, I'll try that out immediately.
