OK...Not sure if this is the best place for this question, but here goes. I have seen some landing pages that have a form with a few simple fields like First Name, Last Name, etc. When you hit "submit" you are taken to the affiliate site with the data you entered already there. Pretty cool trick, I thought. My question is, how do you do this? I may be answering my own question here, but needed some confirmation. Do you just use your affiliate link in the form's "action" variable, so data is sent to that page? Thanks.
"Some" offers have a page that allow you "prepopulate" the users info by passing params in like... www.someofferpage.com/aff.cfm?user_...urwebsite&address=someaddress&email=someemail Ask your AM if an offer allows prepopping
thats right,each affiliate marketing website is set up differently. In order to pre populate fields you will need to understand their code. Sometimes it is possible to provide the form data as name value pairs appended to the url and the data will be pre-filled in the form on the target page. However this is not always possible. If you are a techie then you can try something. GO to the target AM form page and do a view source. If you can see the name of the different form elements ie text fields the you may be able to provide it this info directly form the url as name value pairs. I hope this makes sense.
