Direct Tracking

Direct tracking is a compliant method that does not use tracker redirection. It is necessary for traffic sources such as Google Ads or Facebook Ads...etc, and it is faster than the redirect method.

However, direct tracking does not allow lander rotation or rule-based paths, as visitors go straight to the lander, but you can still rotate offers.

When using direct tracking for offer-only campaign, you can't rotate offer either.

Handle "Back Button Traffic"​

Since MaxConv tracking script can't handle the links in javascript code, so if you want to redirect visitors to offers when they click "back button" in the browser, you need to do two steps:

  1. Add an invisible link so that MaxConv tracking script can handle the click link.

  2. When visitors click the back button traffic, fetch the url from invisible link and redirect to it.

Here is the code template you can use, replace https://YOUR-DOMAIN.COM/click/2 with the link you want to redirect.

<a id="plan_b" style="display: none;" href="https://YOUR-DOMAIN.COM/click/2"></a>

<script>
    maxconv(function(){
        history.pushState(null, document.title, window.location.href);

        window.addEventListener("popstate", function() {
            setTimeout(function(){
                var url = document.getElementById("plan_b").href;
                window.location.href=url;
            },0);
        }, false);
    });
</script>
