Pre-landers, Offer Walls and Listicles

Setup (Using Traditional Redirects)
Setup (Using Direct Linking)

Using Traditional Redirects

**Please note that general knowledge of coding with HTML and JavaScript is required to complete this process.

General Concept and Reporting

The offer wall / listicle will exist as one offer, while each offer within that offer wall / listicle will also exist as individual offers. In reporting, you will see the clicks that are going to the offer wall / listicle as well as the clicks to each of those individual offers.

Code Example

To be placed on the offer wall / listicle page:

HTML:
<a href="XXX" id="button-1"><button>Button 1</button></a><br><br>
<a href="XXX" id="button-2"><button>Button 2</button></a><br><br>
<a href="XXX" id="button-3"><button>Button 3</button></a><br><br>

JavaScript:
<script>
  window.onload = function() {
  var urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
  var encodedValue = urlParams.get('encoded_value');
  document.getElementById('button-1').href="https://{INSERT_YOUR_TRACKING_DOMAIN}/"+encodedValue+"/{INSERT_OFFER_ENCODED_VALUE}/"
  document.getElementById('button-2').href="https://{INSERT_YOUR_TRACKING_DOMAIN}/"+encodedValue+"/{INSERT_OFFER_ENCODED_VALUE}/"
  document.getElementById('button-3').href="https://{INSERT_YOUR_TRACKING_DOMAIN}/"+encodedValue+"/{INSERT_OFFER_ENCODED_VALUE}/"
  }
</script>

Please note that if you are using Smart Links, then the following code from above should be changed from this...

document.getElementById('button-1').href="https://{INSERT_YOUR_TRACKING_DOMAIN}/"+encodedValue+"/{INSERT_OFFER_ENCODED_VALUE}/"

...to this (now includes /cmp after the tracking domain

document.getElementById('button-1').href="https://{INSERT_YOUR_TRACKING_DOMAIN}/cmp/"+encodedValue+"/{INSERT_OFFER_ENCODED_VALUE}/"

Steps

The buttons within the HTML need to have the appropriate IDs or class names. If you use a class name, you will need to associate document.getElementByClassName instead of document.getElementById to them to make them "selectable" within the JavaScript. In the example, see "button-1", "button-2", and "button-3" here.
We will be using JavaScript to replace the href="" value with the partner tracking link we create dynamically inside the script section.
If desired, you may add sub1 - sub5 parameters using the sample code below.

JavaScript:
<script>
  window.onload = function() {
  var urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
  var encodedValue = urlParams.get('encoded_value');
  document.getElementById('button-1').href="https://{INSERT_YOUR_TRACKING_DOMAIN}/"+encodedValue+"/{INSERT_OFFER_ENCODED_VALUE}/?sub1="+sub1+"&sub2="+sub2+"&sub3="+sub3+"
  document.getElementById('button-2').href="https://{INSERT_YOUR_TRACKING_DOMAIN}/"+encodedValue+"/{INSERT_OFFER_ENCODED_VALUE}/?sub1="+sub1+"&sub2="+sub2+"&sub3="+sub3+"
  document.getElementById('button-3').href="https://{INSERT_YOUR_TRACKING_DOMAIN}/"+encodedValue+"/{INSERT_OFFER_ENCODED_VALUE}/?sub1="+sub1+"&sub2="+sub2+"&sub3="+sub3+"
  }
</script>

Set the offer's Base Destination URL of the offer wall / listicle offer with the following parameters and macros appended:
- ?encoded_value={affiliate_encoded_id} or &encoded_value={affiliate_encoded_id}

Please note if you are using Smart Links then the base URL should be modified to this:
- ?encoded_value={affiliate_smartlink_encoded_id} or &encoded_value={affiliate_smartlink_encoded_id}

Grab the Encoded Value for each of the individual offers from the Offers - Manage > Select the Offer > General card > Details and insert it where it says {INSERT_OFFER_ENCODED_VALUE} in the code snippet above.

Additionally, you will need to replace {INSERT_YOUR_TRACKING_DOMAIN} with the tracking domain found on the same page in the conversion method section here.

To test, generate a tracking link for the offer wall / listicle offer and then click a button on the offer wall / listicle page to make sure it redirects to the correct offer. You will see a click for the offer wall / listicle offer as well as the individual offer.

Using Direct Linking

AD (Google/Facebook/Affiliate Link): User clicks (CLICK 1) on AD and lands on your PreLander / Offer Wall.

https://www.PRELANDER.com?oid=11&affid=2

PreLander / OfferWall page: From the Offer Wall, the User clicks (CLICK 2) on a link to reach the final Offer.
The Transaction ID must be added to the Offer Page links.

?_ef_transaction_id=9f3e7c3bef2d4b6ba0c2bf4bcee45310

Code Example

To be placed on the offer wall / listicle page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.TRACKING_DOMAIN.com/scripts/sdk/everflow.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var siteUrl = 'OFFER_PAGE.com';
var advertiserId = '1';

window.onload = function() {
var elems = document.body.getElementsByTagName("a");
    if (!EF.getAdvertiserTransactionId(advertiserId)) {
        EF.click({
            offer_id: EF.urlParameter('oid'),
            affiliate_id: EF.urlParameter('affid'),
            sub1: EF.urlParameter('sub1'),
            sub2: EF.urlParameter('sub2'),
            sub3: EF.urlParameter('sub3'),
            sub4: EF.urlParameter('sub4'),
            sub5: EF.urlParameter('sub5'),
            uid: EF.urlParameter('uid'),
            source_id: EF.urlParameter('source_id'),
            transaction_id: EF.urlParameter('_ef_transaction_id'),
        }).then(function(transaction_id) {
            if (transaction_id != "") {
                for (var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) {
                    if (elems[i].href.includes(siteUrl)) {
                        var url = new URL(elems[i].href);
                        url.searchParams.set('_ef_transaction_id', transaction_id);
                        elems[i].href = url.href
                    }
                }
            }
        });
    } else {
        for (var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) {
            if (elems[i].href.includes(siteUrl)) {
                var url = new URL(elems[i].href);
                url.searchParams.set('_ef_transaction_id', EF.getAdvertiserTransactionId(advertiserId));
                elems[i].href = url.href
            }
        }
    }
}
</script>

You will need to replace the TRACKING_DOMAIN with the actual tracking domain for the offer. The OFFER_PAGE will need to be replaced with the actual Offer Page URL. And finally replace the advertiserId with the correct value.

Advertiser/Offer page:
User lands on the final Offer page with all the Transaction ID from the initial click.

https://www.OFFER_PAGE.com?_ef_transaction_id=9f3e7c3bef2d4b6ba0c2bf4bcee45310

To use this model with Direct Linking, the standard JavaSscript SDK Click Script must be placed on the Offer Page. You must use the correct TRACKING_DOMAIN here as well.

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.TRACKING_DOMAIN.com/scripts/sdk/everflow.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
EF.click({
    offer_id: EF.urlParameter('oid'),
    affiliate_id: EF.urlParameter('affid'),
    sub1: EF.urlParameter('sub1'),
    sub2: EF.urlParameter('sub2'),
    sub3: EF.urlParameter('sub3'),
    sub4: EF.urlParameter('sub4'),
    sub5: EF.urlParameter('sub5'),
    uid: EF.urlParameter('uid'),
    source_id: EF.urlParameter('source_id'),
    transaction_id: EF.urlParameter('_ef_transaction_id'),
});
</script>

When the user lands on the Offer Page, the Transaction ID will be saved in the first party cookie.
Conversions will track normally using the standard JavaScript SDK Conversion Script.
