2. Landing Landing Pages and setup
Setting up everything with Voluum is quite easy. If you have any doubts please check the Voluum guide. I also decided to upload my landers to a CDN and at the same time upload them to a couple of VPSes located near/inside the countries I was trying to test.
That's probably a question for a programmers forum, but honestly doing a quick Google search will tell you the answer.Hi Servando, I read your blog regarding the CDN, and it shows a great comparison between CDN versus dedicated. But in your post you mentioned, CDN can't host PHP. I being taught in the CPA course I attended, to change all my landing page extension from .html to .php. I don't know why, i doubt if it is related to the cpvlab tracking software I use, or the beyond hosting server I use?
Can any senior here advise what is different between .php to .html? Actually i did checked, both file extension (.php & .html) of my LP can load well.
HI @servandosilva ,
I just sign up a min bandwidth with beyond hosting today.
Do you have any post to tech step by step how to setup CDN.
Do I need to change any code in my LP if I host the .php LP at dedicated and it's CSS/JS/Image at CDN
How to setup campaign with CDN hosted LP, right now my LP URL with the dedicated server is like domain.com/LP-Folder/index.html, then my CDN also same domain mean my LP URL is same which is domain.com/LP-folder/index.html. Should I change the folder name to make it differentiable?
Sorry, I don't have any knowledge on CDN, just knew it from your post in the blog.
Did you really just spied for some GEOs, picked up 3 offers from AM suggestions, ripped couple landers and from your first days of testing it did 120% ROI just right from the start? Impossible. I have never seen anything like that on pops.
I ended up testing:
- 4 landers
- 2-3 offers (similar offers to split test the Conversion rate)
- Later added CDN/local VPS to split test
That's why I decided to go for a 20x or higher budget.
I tested 4 landers and all of them performed similarly. So I decided to start split testing VPS vs. Dedicated vs CDN to see if I can gain an extra boost over there.
I don't work with BeyondHosting but they should be able to help you setup a CDN or anything especial for your needs I guess.
Since most of my landers are simple or for mobile offers and don't require PHP I just host everything in the CDN, but as far as I know, you don't need to do anything different in your landing pages except changing the code to the new URLs for the images/CSS that you're hosting in your CDN containers.
For example:
- Your landing page is on domain.com/folder/landing.php
However, inside that lander you used to have images in your dedicated that were pointed to: domain.com/folder/images/logo.png
- But now, you upload them in a CDN and then you need to update the links to: cdndomain.com/folder/images/logo.png
That's pretty much it.
Setting up a CDN for a whole website or blog requires a lot more steps but for a landing page is pretty much uploading the files too the CDN and switching the link to that one.
Hope that helps
Yeah, so the caching will help the more times you test it but when you run traffic most of your users are first timers. Sometimes a good VPS or dedicated can perform better than the CDN but the best way to actually know is just testing.Hi Servando,
Thanks, already get it work with CDN already.
Anyway, I did LP check & compare at "GTmetrix | Website Speed and Performance Optimization", both LP are exactly same but hosted at CDN and VPS.
Refer to the comparison below (left is hosted at CDN, right is at VPS), CDN hosted is slightly faster but the page score are so much lower compared to that hosted at VPS. My rep at beyond hosting mentioned that VPS has browser caching but CDN don't. So overall, do you think CDN still good with the page score so much worse?

HI Servando,
- You mentioned you research several countries, so you have above [4 lander/3offer/CDN-VPS] testing in each country?
- You will create only one campaign for all 4 lander/3offer/CDN-VPS in one country or will split them into several campaigns even under the same country? If split, then you will compete against yourself in the same traffic right?
- Your 20x budget is for one campaign or for overall?
Based on your stats above;
- Your total visit for LP stats and offer stats is different, this is because difference time range or difference campaign?
- Why the last item in both your Offer & LP stats is 0 click but still have a conversion? Are you perform the action yourself, no problem to perform the action yourself?
- When you said you tested the VPS vs dedicated vs CDN after you see they performed similarly, so will you just added the variation into original campaign OR will stop the original campaign and create a new campaign (tested all variation) OR create 3 campaigns which each one testing difference server method (again, this you will compete against yourself).
Sorry for multiple questions, but hopefully you could help to clarify.
BR,
Bryan
Yeah, so the caching will help the more times you test it but when you run traffic most of your users are first timers. Sometimes a good VPS or dedicated can perform better than the CDN but the best way to actually know is just testing.
I recommend you to upload the landing page to both of them and start running traffic to see which one has better CTR and CR and keep running that one.
You did your test from Firefox/Canada. Is that were you're planning to launch your campaign?
Variations:
1. Just split tested everything in the same campaign doing everything with voluum. THere's no need to launch a new campaign or a campaign for each test in the traffic source.
hello servando can you please show how to setup zeropark with voluum ?
i can't see zeropark as a traffic template in my account
Thanks Servando for details explanation / clarification.
If you added a new variation into the original campaign, which you might already do some blacklisting on target (placements/device/OS), then your new added variation are going to test against these blacklisted targets, then will this be accurate?
I think more significant apply to placements, let say i already blacklisted "abcdomain.com" in my original campaign after running for few days. Then suddenly i have idea/new angle LP added into this original campaign, which might suite for this blacklisted abcdomain.com, but i since already blacklisted this placement then my might loosing an opportunity here. Am i right?
Zeropark is the one traffic source that you don't need to add because it's already there. If you go to your traffic sources pages, you'll see Zeropark is already added.hello servando can you please show how to setup zeropark with voluum ?
