Prosper 202 and Exoclick tracking...HELP!
Hi guys, I have a huge problem. I am trying to track an adult campaign through Prosper and Exoclick.
According to Exoclick, when you use their tracking, it passes information about the ad creative, website and campaign through the sub id. Your tracking software then captures this.
Only problem is, this isn't working for me :-(.
Not sure where I went wrong here. Here is what my keyword analysis looks like...


Is there supposed to be something in there?!?! I have exoclick conversion tracking pixel on my thank you page for my Adsimilis account.
Dangit I can't figure this out. Would really love some help here...

What's the URL you're running in Exoclick (feel free to blank out your domain, of course!)? Looks like you have a syntax error somewhere in there that's causing Prosper to drop your keywords - at least, that'd be my first guess.

make your link something like this ... http://yourtracker.com/xxxxx.php?t202kw={src_hostname}
It's for you to track the website. If you want to track more stuff, just put them into you c1=xxx, c2=xxx...

The url is just mydomain.com/NL.
Should I have a special tracking link to get to the lander? I think that might be the issue...

That should work. If you go to Overview >> Group Overview you can sort by keyword, c1 etc.
If you can't see any data then make sure your links are setup correctly from Setup >> Get Links and be sure to place the lp tracking code (Setup >> Landing Pages) in your landing page code just before the </body> tag.

Still nothing.
Where do I put the c1 in and what do I put in it for this data to output correctly?

Here is what my tracking looks like on the page:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> cbr202=Math.random()*10000000000000000;document.wr ite('<scr'+'ipt language="JavaScript" src="http://poweradnetwork.com/tracking202/static/landing.php?lpip=543&202cb='+cbr202+'" type="text/javascript"></scr' + 'ipt>'); </script> </body>
And my link ends in aff_sub=[[subid]].
So I don't know what I am missing.

That looks fine for your aff links but are you generating tracking links from Setup >> Get Links?
You can add c1-c4 there as well as other unique properties for the link. You can also choose if you want to direct link or use a landing page. The links you generate here are what you use to submit to ad networks.

Can you post the link that you're using in Exoclick, minus your tracking domain name of course? That should help us narrow down the problem.

Let me see if the above stuff works. Right now the conversion tracking isn't working even.
Does anyone have problems with Adsimilis and Exoclick conversion tracking? Bleh...

what type of issue are you having?

I'm not getting data from exoclicks. I think this is my fault.
I attached the dynamic tags under my new links and I will restart the campaign to see if this works. Here is what the new links look like:
NL?t202id=734&t202kw={keyword}&c1=bjyellow&c2={src _hostname}
I also am having trouble with the exoclick pixel. It doesn't seem to fire. Bleh.
I will let you guys know if this fixes any time soon.

Did you submit the ad network pixel to your affiliate network?
If you want to track conversions on both your tracking domain and ad network you should use the 'Universal Smart Pixel' in p202 (submit this to your aff network). You'll also need to input the ad network pixel code in p202 traffic sources.
Otherwise setting a postback on your affiliate network to post data directly back to your tracking domain will give you all the info you need while keeping conversion data private from your traffic sources.
Here is an example p202 postback for use with HasOffers:
Code:
http://yourtrackingdomain.com/tracking202/static/gpb.php?amount={payout}&subid={aff_sub}

I did. I added it into the Adsimilis offer I was trying to track but gosh dangit, it won't come up.
I should be using a universal smart pixel? I thought I was, or something similar.
I am so confused. This is still not working for me. If anyone could share screen with me or something on Skype that'd be awesome

Post up some screenshots of how you've set the entire campaign up and we should be able to spot if there are any set up problems. Just white out data you want to keep private. Alternatively I can have a look if you don't mind giving me temporary access to your accounts and tracking.

The following link is under Adsimilis in the Postback URL category...
http://mytrackingdomain.com/tracking...amount=&subid=
It was originally under the Universal Smart pixel category. However, I did not have anything changed from where I got it to where I placed it in the Ad network tracking section.
Right now, my links look like this:
NL?t202id=734&t202kw={keyword}&c1=bjyellow&c2={src _hostname}
The Exoclick should be passing keyword data through tracking 202 but it isn't. I'm not sure if this is a Prosper issue or an Exoclick issue. That's how desperately clueless I am.
Currently it appears to be both as neither has any data at all. My keyword analysis in Tracking 202 looks like this:
Keyword Clicks Leads S/U Payout EPC Avg CPC Income Cost Net ROI
[no keyword] 382 9 2.36% $5.47 $0.14 $0.10 $52.16 ($38.20) $13.96 37.00%
{keyword} 1 0 0.00% $8.40 $0.00 $0.10 $0.00 ($0.10) ($0.10) -100.00%
It just says, no keyword, on EVERYTHING.
I am losing my mind.
That data is just from today by the way. One of my campaigns has the universal smart pixel set up. It looks like this:
<iframe height="1" width="1" border="0" style="display: none;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://mytrackingdomain.com/tracking202/static/upx.php?amount=" />
Yet NO TRACKING DATA FROM EITHER CAMPAIGN!
I was told Adsimilis does not allow iFrames but my AM is in Europe so he is never around for me to ask him any of this stuff.

Take a look at your reports on your aff network and see if your subids are being sent correctly. This will help us narrow down what the problem is. If they are, export the list of subids only and click 'Update' in 202. Paste them in there and update.

That's incorrect, and let me know if you need a change in your AM just based on time zone. Cheers

Right, something seriously weird is clearly happening here.
If you like, feel free to PM me your Skype details, and I'll do my best to sort out what's happening without needing you to post private details all over the forum
