What (summary)

Three Core Offers are prominently displayed in the grass part of the skin. Each offer walks the visitor through a logical sequence of screens, culminating a subscription to Get Page Alerts, an order to Promote my Company, or a request for more information about how and why to Sponsor a Portal.

Why this is important

This task is pointed squarely at our most important goals: Revenue and Engagement.

DoneDone when each of the following subtasks are DoneDone

• Get Page Alerts

PunchList

• We say offer is 99.00 but charge 99.99. Must fix this. -- Ward
• Can't see orders db at http://promoteme.aboutus.org/au_web_services/orders/list -- has redirect loop -- Ward
• I was testing the result by entering my email twice, Why am I receiving twice emails - Shahzad
  • Which offer? -Stephen Judkins

  • If the javascript hasn't loaded yet, or is disabled, these are the pages the links should go to. Perhaps we should have someone fill out these pages? -Stephen Judkins
• I logged out, went to TedErnst.com and clicked "get alerts" and went to this page, which is blank: http://promoteme.aboutus.org/PageAlerts 202.38.48.136
• Maybe this is a larger issue (not to be fixed this week), but when I'm signed in, the anon alerts don't make sense. It should just add those pages to my watchlist. I signed up this way as logged in and got the confirmation email but when I clicked the link, I got an error. Not sure if this is because I'm logged in. TedErnst (talk) 23:42, 7 January 2008 (PST)
• While signing up to "Promote My Company", Email address field does not accept 'characters' I tried signing up with and it didnt work. --Sa'ad ^{: talk : email : contribs :} 23:39, 7 January 2008 (PST)

  • several people here should enter their actual credit cards to verify that it works (Brandon, Ward, Ray)

• promoteme.aboutus.org doesn't include the credit card fields and skips the authorization step on Promote my Company (Stephen)
• promoteme.aboutus.org needs a different google maps API key that has been generated for it

• From the "Thanks" page in the "Get Alerts" flow, I get an error if I go directly to the "Promote" offering and go down that path.
