CREATE A MOBILE LANDING PAGE To engage users on mobile devices provide a mobile friendly landing page. Mobile landing pages ensure that your customers get the stream-lined and easy user experience they expect on the mobile web. Here are some best practices that you may want to consider when building your mobile site: Fast loading times Mobile landing pages should be lightweight and load quickly. This is a general best practice, but mobile users are especially impatient and might have slower internet connections. Direct and concise language Text is hard to read on a mobile device so use as little as possible. Be direct and concise with a strong call to action. Large text and big buttons Use large text and big buttons that are easy to read on a small screen and can be clicked by a thumb. zanox Ltd Mobile Site Tracking Last updated 01/2013 Page 4

CHECK YOUR PERFORMANCE Use the normal zanox user interface to see how your mobile site performs. You can choose from a variety of options to differentiate mobile leads and sales from the ones you generate through your e-commerce site. Option A: Tracking categories (CIDs) Create a set of tracking categories depending on the types of mobile transactions you want to track. Go to the Advertiser Statistics and filter your results by tracking category to check the number of leads and sales you generate via your mobile site. Please note that you are able to assign different commission rates to your tracking categories to reward your publishers differently depending on whether a lead/sale happened on a desktop computer or on a mobile device. Using tracking categories you will not be able to differentiate the views and clicks from your e-commerce and your mobile site. zanox Ltd Mobile Site Tracking Last updated 01/2013 Page 7

Option B: Suborder IDs Include the parameter SuborderID in your mobile tracking pixel. The parameter allows you to pass a 10-digit string with every lead or sale that is tracked on your mobile site. For instance, you could pass the string mobile with every mobile transaction, or you could pass the operating system and browser type (e.g. ios-safari ). <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" src="http://ad.zanox.com/pps/?47 11C081512345&mode=[[1]]&CustomerID=[[382738]]&OrderID=[[937174727 828]]&SubOrderID=[[iOS-Safari]]&CurrencySy m bol=[[eur]]&totalpri ce=[[25.34]]&com missionfix=[[2.00]]"></script> Use the Approve Leads & Sales tool to see which leads and sales you generated through your mobile site. Suborder IDs are a simple means to store additional information with your tracking data. However, you will not be able to assign different commission rates to your suborder IDs. Also, please note that using suborder IDs you will not be able to differentiate the views and clicks from your e-commerce and your mobile site. zanox Ltd Mobile Site Tracking Last updated 01/2013 Page 8

Option C: Mobile programme Set up a separate programme that will only track the leads and sales generated on your mobile site. This option will give you access to your mobile views and clicks and allow you to define separate commissions for mobile transactions.
