Propser 202, need help! (10)
I'm trying to set up Prosper 202 for traffic junky, and am curious how I can have the conversion pixel fire with the respective banner/keyword it came from in my tracking under Analyze/keywords (using 202.)
I have figured out how to pass each banner name to tracking 202 using my landing page link and the keyword feature, so each banner URL looks like this:
http://www.sexysingles.com/lander/?t...t202kw=banner1
They all display as separate keywords as they should, and will keep track of clicks. What I don't understand is how to dynamically pass the keyword/banner id to the link I am using with 202 for the banners, to the link which I'm using for my affiliate url with f5, so that when someone converts on the offer, the conversion will appear like I said, with the corresponding banner.
The link to my affiliate offer looks as follows:
http://xxxxxx.com/tracking202/redire...d=1172&t202kw=
Basically when the conversion pixel does fire on this, it is not coming up under any banners, just blank or w.e I put there for the offer. How do I pass along the banner name/202 keyword to this, so that when the pixel fires it utilizes the right keyword? I hope someone out there can offer some insight, I've been trying to get this set up for many hours now and this is where I'm at lol. Thanks in advance for any input!
I found some very useful info but still having trouble implementing. This guy had same issue; http://prosper.tracking202.com/forum...acking202-link
He was directed to this script to dynamically pass keyword from landing page url to offer url; http://prosper.tracking202.com//scri...landing-pages/
I've put the code on my lander, and have tried a ton of variations, but still cannot figure out how to exactly pass the keyword along..
If you are passing keywords and updating conversions manually or by postback/pixel it should show you in stats.
I am passing keywords, and I have my postback pixel set up on f5 with #s2# appended on the end of it. Are you saying somewhere along the line the keyword is going to be passe to the s2 variable? Like I don't need to do anything else?
Also I ended up just going trial and error for hours, and took an old script that was on here for coreg used for passing variables from the URL to the offer URL, and used some of the code from the 202 landing page code I just posted, and ended up getting it to function, it tells me when someone clicks my lander from TJ, and passes keyword 'banner1', when the click my 202 offer URL, it passes keyword BNRbanner1, I did this to differentiate between clicks credited to the lander, and clicks credited to the offer..
your f5 tracking url should be like this in prosper &s1=[[subid]]. Any variable you are using to pass the subid, should be in your postback url.
Yeah that's basically what I did >> http://f5mtrack.com/?a=xxxxxx&c=xxxxxxx&s2=[[subid]] but I was told to utilize s2 and not use s1 for this.
My postback pixel therefore looks like this: http://xxxxxxxxx.com/tracking202/sta...=22&subid=#s2#
If this is set up like this, you're saying it should dynamically pass the keyword for each banner when the pixel fires, so I will know precisely which banner converted? Thanks for taking your time to help me out pain, greatly appreciated.
No it passes the subid but your stats should show you what keyword that was.
I am not 100% sure what you are trying to do here, but to my understanding you are trying to pass t202kw on F5 so you can see the banner that converted on F5 ( as a subid I suppose ).
If that's the problem , pass it also on c1 parameter like this :
http://www.sexysingles.com/lander/?t...er1&c1=banner1
Then set the offer url on prosper like this :
http://f5mtrack.com/?a=xxxxxx&c=xxxxxxx&s2=[[subid]]&s3=[[c1]]
So you will be able to see conversion on F5 reports.
However , the best way to see which banners converted on prosper ( not on F5 ) is to just set up the postback like you did.
Every time a user converts you will be able to see it under Analyze>>Keywords.
Ok, I understand now, thanks for clarifying. I just had my AM test it out my offer and I got it to fire on the keyword that I dynamically passed to my tracking url, so I guess all is well; right when I was about to opt for cpv lab. Super god damn pleased, only took hours upon hours to complete 
I see what you're saying bbrock. Honestly I think I over complicated things a lot for myself, with my own idea of how it was supposed to function, I didn't fully understand how postback would work and how it would be directed to appear under the proper keyword. As I normally have, I just kept trying shit until I finally stumbled upon a solution that worked; definitely learned a bit more about php, albeit not much.
