I know there's a few Delavo owners who use Jim Stone's fantastic piece of software Split-Test Accelerator. The problem with Delavo is you can't paste the php snippet on the thank you page (from what I know anyway).
I've come up with a little hack that works, which I thought might interest STA and Delavo owners:
1. Setup a separate list in aweber (I'm not sure if it'll work with other autoresponders)
2. Contact aweber asking them to make it single opt-in (From what they told me, this is the only way to get single opt-in)
3. In your package, tick "enable TurboAutoresponders.com integration"
4. Add http:// www . aweber. com/scripts/addlead.pl as the url
5. Put the following as your parameters:
unit=[your list name]
meta_adtracking=[optional I like to put the type of product here]
from=#{Customer.email}
name=#{Customer.name}
redirect=http://domain.com/sta-track.php?r=#{Sale.thankLink}
meta_redirect_onlist=#{Sale.thankLink}
6. Save the package
7. Create the file "sta-track.php" and put the following code in it:<?php
$id=2; $sta_amt=0; include('/home/.../sta/TY_topper.php'); //STA snippet
$jvm2thanks = $_GET['r'];
header("location: $jvm2thanks");
?>
<html>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Done! Because it's single opt-in and you have no follow up messages in that aweber list, the user gets no email from the list. It's a strange way of using an email service for a completely irrelevant task, but it works for me!
So how do you guys work around it?
