Tracking Conversions with Facebook Social Plugin Registration Form

Hey Warren, sorry for the delay. Where are you processing the data that the facebook registration plugin sends after the user fills out the form? This sounds like a good opportunity to use our external conversion tracking script which is just a bit of javascript you can stick on any page that will credit a conversion back to original landing page that the visitor saw.

From my understanding, you provide a “redirect_uri” property in the embed code which is where you have a script that processes the form accordingly. From here it should be possible to either render a page or redirect to another page that has the conversion tracking script embedded in it (this could even be another Unbounce page).

Hopefully that makes sense. I don’t have a ton of experience with this plugin, so forgive me if I’ve mistaken part of it.

Cheers,
Carter

Hey Warren, that should work fine with our tracking script. Yes it’s cookie based - we drop a visitor cookie when they first land on your initial page, and then when they visit a page that has the tracking script on it, we look for that cookie and correlate it to the most recently viewed landing page and track a conversion. From the documentation I posted above:

When a visitor visits your Unbounce landing page, and subsequently visits your conversion page, the script will look for the Unbounce visitor cookie, and if it finds one, will make a tracking request back to the Unbounce servers. We then select the page that visitor has seen most recently, and if we have not previously recorded a conversion for that visitor, we’ll bump your conversion count by one.

So as long as you stuck the script on the page that you redirect the user to in your last step (again, this could be another Unbounce page,) conversions should be tracked as you’d expect.

Last question… is there a way to block yourself from being detected in stats? I want to be able to view the landing page without counting towards the test.

Great, thanks.
