Free Internet Marketing Code – Personalize Your URLs

I have a real-deal internet marketing gift for you today.

If you know the value of personalization in marketing, you'll immediately recognize the value of what I'm giving you.

Here's the scoop:

There's something on the Net regularly referred to as PURL. These are personalized URL's.

For instance, like: http://TheSneakPeekBlog.com/1.htm?Bob

For obvious reasons, anytime you can use a link like this in your marketing it's going to increase response significantly.

But, you'll increase response even more when you use a personalized URL like that *AND* you personalize your actual sales message with your visitors name.

Most companies that provide this type of service charge a significant amount of money to do it for you, believe it or not.

But, I'm going to show you how to do it at ZERO COST with one line of code on your webpage.

And, I'm even going to give you the code.

In fact, here it is:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
var name = location.search.replace("?"," ");
document.write(name)
// --></script>

And, here's how simple this process is...

Simply take that code above, and where ever you'd like your visitors first name to appear (they must be on your autoresponder), simply paste the code into the HTML.

Then, when you send out an autoresponder message to your list, in the email simply put the link to the website you've set up to be personalized as (for example):

http://www.TheSneakPeekBlog.com/1.htm?%firstname%

(The '%firstname%' would be whatever your autoresponder system uses as a tag to input someone's first name in your email, who's on your autoresponder. Different companies use different tags.)

What would then happen is each person would receive the email, with a link that has their name after the ?.

When they click on it, the code (from above) on your webpage would carry their name through to the webpage.

For instance,  click on the link below, then in the address bar of Internet Explorer or Firefox or whatever you're using, simply replace 'bob' with whatever name you'd like to appear on the webpage, go to that page, and there you go.

Enjoy!

And, remember, anytime you can add personalization in your marketing, your response will always go up.  Some times as high as even 30-50%!!!

  1. I really like your this page and looking forward for the further information.

  2. Nice tips for internet marketing code

  3. Thanks for the help mate, will seriously be putting this to good use but I have a question – is it possible to have the variable before the domain name, like:

    %firstname%.thesneakpeekblog.com

    So I could use it in my direct mail, for example, send a postcard to “Fred” with the URL:

    fred.thesneakpeekblog.com

    Thanks!
