The long awaited new release of Prosper 202 1.7 is available for download today. Nana has put quite a bit of work into this new version and it looks like it's a real winner.
This new version has some changes to the UI/design as well as some changes under the hood. Here's your executive summary:
UI
The UI has been relabeled here and there to make more sense. For example in the Setup tab, "PPC Accounts" has been replaced with "Traffic ...

Using DKI (Dynamic Keyword Insertion) is helpful to increase CTR on your landing pages.
Normally this is a fairly simple task. If you're using Prosper202 and you've got your campaign and tracking setup correctly, 202 should pass your keyword in the URL to your landing page. So you're landing page URL will look something like this:
http://mydomain.com/landingpage.php?t202kw=walmart.com
To "grab" this keyword and use it in your page, you ...
So there other day, while getting a burst of PPV traffic, I tried to load my landing page and it crapped out. More specifically, the page sort of half loaded then stopped. It turns out, the free maxmind javascript code that I was so fond of was hanging up my whole page. The maxmind server was out to lunch (or throttling my greedy PPV pop traffic) and I was losing coin.
What to do? Well, Maxmind was nice enough to offer a couple of more ...
I regularly get email and PM's from people asking questions about coding. Obviously I don't have time to answer all of these questions, but luckily it's easy to choose which ones I WILL answer.
Sadly, most of the time the question is either too vague, lacking in detail, convoluted, or just so poorly written that it shows they didn't bother to do any problem solving or learning on their own. Those are the ones I ignore.
Yesterday, I got ...
It seems lots of newbies and some not-so-newbies haven been running into problems getting audio to work properly with their landing pages. So hopefully, this will clear up the questions.
Advanced Readers: If you've already got this down, skip ahead to Get Fancy and you might learn something new ;-)
Why Use Audio?
It's pretty well known that audio on a landing page can increase CTR. This is especially true with PPV. Many times your ...
Knowing how to auto-generate content is a huge timesaver. A while back, I needed to come up with a bunch of comments for a group of blogs I was building. Rather than outsource it to a real person, I decided to see if I could some up with a way to automate it. What you see below is my proof of concept.

I love Prosper 202, but the GUI needs help. I mean copying and pasting [[subid]]? Really?!?
We may as well all just bust out Mosaic and get it over with.

Larger Campaign Name field. (More room to edit!)
Larger Affiliate URL field. (The better to see those big-ass tracking links.)
Some Sweet Subid Injection Buttons. No more copy/paste means less room for error and ...
The Issue:
A new campaign I am about to run requires me to pass a zip code as a get variable in the url. For example:
http://offerpage.com?id=666&zip=12345
This is also known as a pre-pop, as in "pre-populating" an offer.
The Problem:
So my landing page is all set up. I have a form on there that let's the user enter his zip code and I have my Prosper202 javascript tracking code in place. Everything's great until I have to ...
I wrote this script after I built my first Wordpress datafeed site. After I loaded up the site, I realized that I had 5,000+ posts all made on the same day! Rather than repost everything, I wrote this quick script. Hopefully someone may find it useful.
What it Does
This script will connect to your Wordpress database and change the post dates on all of your posts to random dates. You can define the range of dates by setting the two ...
Sometimes, little things bug me. I've been running a bunch of PPV traffic lately and for awhile now, I've noticed that Prosper202 doesn't have icons for DirectCPV or LeadImpact. This is most noticeable in the Overview and the Spy view where traffic from both of these networks gets stamped with the question mark icon. When you just see a question mark, you need to hover over it with your mouse to figure out what traffic source it is. And ...
