Using iframe to duplicate a site

[hibuddy]

Hi

I am trying create a single page site which duplicate my merchant site.I want to use Iframe or something like that to design that page. Is there a way I can pass my keywords from google & Yahoo (as a variable) to my merchat site .So we can track the conversions.

Your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks...

Are you refering to keeping track of where your users are coming from? If your user comes from a search engine such as Google or Yahoo, then the keywords they used to search are usually tagged onto the end of the URL.

In PHP, the super global $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] returns the url the user is coming from. And from this you can strip out the keywords.

Is that what you mean?

Thanks for your reply.Yes you are right but How would I do this using Iframe

That too I have to track the conversions. My merchant has provided a way to do this I want to use that.So each keyword I use in Google PPC will have different attribute to it. I can use this in Iframe. May be I should pass a variable from the Iframe to my merchant to do this.

Any help with Iframe on this would be appreciate. Thanks for your time and reply again.

I'm not sure in your use of the IFRAME (to display another html page). You want the IFRAME to contain your entire merchant site? Sorry, I have not used IFRAMEs in this way and cannot see their benefit in this case. I cannot see how you can easily "pass a variable from the Iframe to your merchant". I'm sure there are big security issues with doing anything like that - particulary across domains. (Is it across domains?)

I would have thought that keeping track of conversions to your merchant site should be performed server-side on your merchant site? What does your merchant provide?

(Sorry, I may have missed something here)
