Easy to use.
1. Place in the
of the page loading the dynamic phone numbers.
2. Use any tag like , , even should work, and use the ID "defaultPhone".
3. In any URL, just add at the end: ?phn=(xxx)-xxx-xxxx or #phn=(xxx)-xxx-xxxx
Example: http://www.domain.com/path/file.html#phn=1-(900)-HOT-CALL
4. Open dphone.js and edit the line:
var timeExpire = 1;
This is the number of hours the cookie will remain in the browser memory before it gets erased.
Thus this is how long the phone number appears on the visitor's browser.
5. If you wish to have an override of the default hours, you can add in the URL &h=X where X is the
number of hours.
Example: http://www.domain.com/path/file.html?phn=1-(900)-CALL-MEH&h=8
Notes:
- Variable order is not important, it will work both ways.
http://www.domain.com/path/file.html?phn=1-(900)-CALL-MEH&h=8
and
http://www.domain.com/path/file.html?h=8&phn=1-(900)-CALL-MEH
will both work.
- Both GET Variable and page anchor will work.
http://www.domain.com/path/file.html?phn=1-(900)-CALL-MEH
http://www.domain.com/path/file.html#phn=1-(900)-CALL-MEH
will both work.
Probably, use the "#" more to avoid SEO duplicate content issues. Just use "?" if you need the
GET variables for other purposes such as other serverside scripting purposes.
- Unique tracking codes for web analytics purposes
If you still need to run unique tracking codes for analytics purposes, you may separate the
variable groups with an ampersand (&) just like any other GET variable.
http://www.domain.com/path/file.html?phn=1-(900)-CALL-MEH&h=5&trackingcodevar=54378439067891780
- The default phone number in your HTML tag, would be ideal to be the same number found in online
directories, such as YELP, CitySearch, MerchantsCircle etc. and Google Local Business Center since
Google checks the consistency of information and helps in the ranking in local search. Google will see
the default number, but will not see the JavaScript number.
