Suggestion- You may need to check your download files and do some clean up. People using the downloadable zip may get an error if they try to upload directly this file from WP interface. Just a heads-up…

Thanks again

1.) The system is independent of the PPC ads. The GO tests are preformed and tracked on your site alone. The PPC ads only drive traffic to the site and are tracked separately in your Adwords account.

If the pages validated properly in the GO setup area then everything should be working correctly.

If you have viewed your site the system setups a tracking cookie to make sure you are always served the same version of the site when you return. I can only recommend you try deleting your cookies and cache and retry it.

2.) In the free version of the plugin we’ve made available it will only run one GO test per site at a time. It does have the option to choose between and A/B and Multi-variant test in the settings menu.

It works like a dream in Optimizer and all variant pages in ‘preview’ are as they should be but is it going to work with my PPC campaign? Is there a test I can perform to check all is well?

I’m using your plugin on my Wordpress blog, version 2.7 (http://www.ppc-maverick.com/free-ppc-tool/).

Here is what I’m doing:

* I create an A/B experiment on Google Optimizer.
* I copy/paste the account ID and test ID into the Easy Google Optimizer Plugin form on my blog.
* I provide the page id’s for the 3 pages that are involved in the test
* I click the update button on easy google optimizer (this should automatically insert the scripts in the 3 pages).
* Finally, I click “validate pages” on google optimizer and that’s when I get the error mentioned above.

When I check the page source on the original page, the following scripts have been inserted:

1: In the section at ~ line number 15:

function utmx_section(){}function utmx(){}(function(){var k=’1356310311′,d=document,l=d.location,c=d.cookie;function f(n){if(c){var i=c.indexOf(n+’=');if(i>-1){var j=c.indexOf(’;',i);return c.substring(i+n.length+1,j<0?c.length:j)}}}var x=f(’__utmx’),xx=f(’__utmxx’),h=l.hash;d.write(”)})();
utmx(”url”,’A/B’);

This script is equal to the one on the Google Optimizer page

2: And the following script just before the tag:

gaJsHost = ((”https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://www.”);
document.write(unescape(”%3Cscript src=’” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”));

try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(”MY-ACCOUNT-ID-2″);
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}

This script differs slightly from the one proposed by Google (at the end of my account id, the number 2 is appended instead of 1 ???):

if(typeof(_gat)!=’object’)document.write(”)

try {
var pageTracker=_gat._getTracker(”MY-ACCOUNT-ID-1″);
pageTracker._trackPageview(”/xxx/test”);
}catch(err){}

Could it be, that Google Optimizer made any recent changes and the plugin no longer works with it (see the differences in the script above)?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Our system just uses the bulitin system calls to store our plugin options. So if your Wordpress install is working there shouldn’t be an issue using this plugin. Internal Server Errors are usually caused by some sort of misconfiguration on the server but without more details about it we can’t really offer you a better solution.

Also, I have the checkbox Enable the Google Website Optimizer support for this page/post.

Any Idea how I can resolve this problem?
