I employ tracking links that split test 2 landers,
But because both landing pages are not doing good, I want to switch the Landers with direct link offers inside the tracking.
Do you think bing will penalize me for this?
no but you are a moron for direct linking. NEVER direct link,
Here is how the flow (funnel) should go:
1. your ad-offering a free report/video
2. your landing page with sign up the free report
3. thank you page once the sign up saying report or video is in their mail box (this gets rid of the fake email people..they wont get your report if they dont give you a legit email)
4. on my thank you page, i have then sign up on my Facebook page i created about the niche
5. they are then set up on my drip mail series. i email 4 times every day, then about 4-5 tmies a week
6. if they land on my site, but not on my thank you page, i re-target them on facebook or bing.
7. if they land on my thank you page but do not buy, i re target them with a different ad/offer (you will need the CB vendor to puyt your tracking codes on their order page). Most vendors will require you to make 10-20 sales before they let you do this, that is fine. pound out 20 sales and then ask
There you go, my general opt in funnel that gets good results.
as you can see if you just do #1 and send t hem to the vendors page, you are missing 6 crucial steps in the internet marketing process, thus making you a moron
