This guide is for Poll factory 2.0 only

Many people who purchase poll factory are members of ppc-coach and want to integrate his tracker/rotator. This post is ment to be a guide on how to do that.

Decide which rotator to use

The first thing you need to do is decide which rotator you want to use. Both ppc-coach and poll factory implement an offer rotator, and combinding them would make this extremely complicated. I would suggest using poll factory's rotator since its more powerful (especially when you use the {offer} tag) and its easier to integrate with coach's tracker.

Using Poll Factory's Rotator

1. Pick an offer from a network and create the offer in the PPC Coach tracking system. record the offer ID that the tracker assigns! (This will be used in poll factory).

2. Create a parallel offer in Poll Factory's admin panel, but do not use the affiliate link, instead, use the URL to ppc-coaches a.php, for example:

Note: Make sure you add ?z=offer_id&b=0 to the end of your a.php link in poll factory!!! (obviously replace "offer_id" with the id of the offer you created in ppc-coach's tracker)

3. Create a new Poll using poll factory. Add the offer you created in step 2 to the poll, copy paste the output and upload the poll to a domain/folder. For this example we'll assume your poll is located at:

http://www.polldomain.com/poll.php

4. In adwords, setup your campaign like you normally would, with one minor difference. Instead of using coach's a.php file in your adwords campaign, replace it with your poll URL. You should STILL pass all of the variables you would normally pass to a.php to your poll.php page. Poll Factory will automatically pass them to a.php for you. Your final adwords destination link should look something like this:

http://www.polldomain.com/poll.php?campaign={campaign}&adgroup={adgroup}&keyword={keyword}&ma tch_type={match_type}&ad={creative}&website={placement}&network=content&source=adwords

Note: Be sure not to pass z=offer_id&b=0 when you setup your adwords destination link! (you have already done this inside poll factory).

Repeat for each offer you want in the rotation. That's it! The next section will describe how to use coach's rotator instead.

To be continued....
