Created page with 'Typically, a visitor comes to your site from '''another domain''', e.g. # <nowiki>http://www.google.com/search?q=ROI+Tracking</nowiki> ''links to'' # <nowiki>htt…'

New page

Typically, a visitor comes to your site from '''another [[Domain Name|domain]]''', e.g.

# <nowiki>http://www.google.com/search?q=ROI+Tracking</nowiki> ''links to''
# <nowiki>http://www.conversionruler.com/?crsource=google&crcat=ppc&crkw=ROI+Tracking&crcpn=ROI+Group</nowiki>

However, on occasion, you want to track from the same domain name, say, when you drive traffic from a specific landing page which may be arrived at in a non-traditional manner.

For example:

# <nowiki>http://www.conversionruler.com/landing-test-v1/</nowiki> ''links to''
# <nowiki>http://www.conversionruler.com/?crsource=landing-test&crcat=web&crcpn=Special+Offer+Button+1</nowiki>

However, in this case, ConversionRuler will not record the 2nd page as a '''[[Landing]]''' because it originates from the '''same [[Domain Name|domain name]].'''

==What constitutes the same domain name==
For the purposes of ConversionRuler, the a [[domain name]] is considered identical if:

* The "host" portion of the [[URL]] matches exactly
* The "host" portion of the [[URL]] matches after removing the "www" prefix

So, '''example.com''' and '''www.example.com''' are considered identical.

However, '''paths.example.com''' and '''example.com''' are '''not''' considered identical.

==Changing behavior==
The default behavior is to '''not record landings''' from the same domain.

To modify this behavior, you can edit your [[Site Settings]] and check the '''Landings from same domain''' checkbox to '''record landings''' from the same domain.

You can also change the behavior on a per-link basis, by adding the term '''same=1''' to the landing query string, e.g.

<nowiki>http://www.conversionruler.com/?</nowiki>crsource=landing-test&crcat=web&crcpn=Special+Offer+Button+1&'''same=1'''

Likewise, if your [[Site Settings]] have '''Landings from the same domain''' checkbox checked, you can '''turn off this behavior''' by adding the term '''same=0''' to the landing query string, e.g.

<nowiki>http://www.conversionruler.com/?</nowiki>crsource=landing-test&crcat=web&crcpn=Special+Offer+Button+1&'''same=0'''

The above URL would only record landings when they came from '''external''' domain names, for example.
