Tracking Listicles

What is a listicle?

Listicle Basic Setup

Main advantages of the Listicle campaigns

  • You can promote an unlimited number of products (offers) in the Main Landing Page
  • You can have an unlimited number of Level 2 Landing Pages (Sublanders)
  • You can have more than one Offer Page for each product (offer) and these Offer Pages will be rotated for your visitors
  • Clicks to all Sublanders and Offer Pages as well as conversions from all Offer Pages will be tracked in CPV Lab Pro
  • Works even when visitors get directly to the landing page instead of going through the Campaign URL first.
    • This is useful when using Google Ads or Facebook Ads or when dealing with organic traffic. In order to allow this, you need to implement the Direct Traffic Code in the main landing page
