The Landing Page Protection Script (LPS) inCPV tracker (CPV Lab or CPV One) is a feature designed to secure your landing pages and ensure that every visit is tracked correctly. Without it, users or bots could bypass the campaign tracking link and land on your page directly, resulting in untracked clicks and missing data.
Purpose
The LPS solves two major problems:
- Untracked Traffic: If someone types your landing page URL directly into their browser, CPV tracker (CPV Lab or CPV One) won’t generate a Click ID, and any subsequent conversions cannot be tied back to campaigns.
- Competitor Spying: Competitors may try to access your landing pages directly to copy your designs. LPS makes it harder for them to do so without going through your tracked campaign URL.
How It Works
When you add a landing page to a CPV tracker (CPV Lab or CPV One) campaign, the platform generates a JavaScript code snippet. You place this snippet in the <head> section of your landing page. When a visitor arrives, the script checks whether the request includes a valid Click ID generated by CPV tracker (CPV Lab or CPV One).
- If the visitor came through the campaign link, the Click ID is present, and the page loads normally.
- If the visitor accessed the page directly (without a Click ID), the script can block access, redirect the user to a default page, or simply prevent tracking.
This ensures that every tracked click is valid and every conversion can be tied back to its source.
Advantages
- Data Accuracy: Eliminates untracked clicks in reports.
- Security: Reduces the chance of bots or competitors scraping your landing pages.
- Compliance: Some networks require that all traffic is properly tracked.
- Cleaner Reporting: Ensures that CTR, EPC, and ROI calculations are based only on real, tracked visits.
Example
Let’s say you build a landing page for a weight-loss supplement offer. You run ads with the CPV tracker (CPV Lab or CPV One) Campaign URL. Some visitors bookmark your landing page or share it directly with others. Without the LPS, these users would bypass CPV tracker (CPV Lab or CPV One) tracking, creating visits and conversions that can’t be matched to tokens or traffic sources. By enabling the LPS, only visits with a valid Click ID can access the page, ensuring all data remains intact.
Setup Steps in CPV tracker (CPV Lab or CPV One)
- Add a landing page to your campaign.
- Copy the Landing Page Protection Script from the CPV tracker (CPV Lab or CPV One) interface.
- Paste the script into your landing page code.
- Save and upload your landing page.
- Test by accessing the page directly (it should block) versus through the campaign link (it should load normally).
Limitations
- Advanced users may still bypass basic protection, though it stops the majority of unwanted access.
- If implemented incorrectly, it could block valid traffic, so testing is essential.
When to Use
- Any campaign where you are using custom landing pages.
- Situations where competitors are known to spy on ads and landing pages.
- High-volume campaigns where even small percentages of untracked clicks could skew results.
In summary, the Landing Page Protection Script is a simple but powerful tool in CPV tracker (CPV Lab or CPV One). It ensures that all landing page visits are valid, tracked, and tied to campaigns, protecting both your data and your assets.
