Postback URL not working, SSL required? (14)

---

Hey guys,

I have set up the postback URL in Cake like this (CPVLab):

http://trackingdomain.com/base2.php?...evenue=#price#

Now for a couple of offers this works, but it won't fire on a bunch of others. What I have noticed is that the offers that don't work show "Pixel HTML (Must be HTTPS):", so in that case does the postback URL also have to be HTTPS?

If it is required, what SSL cert do you guys recommend? The cheaper the better obv

---

About the SSL cert; If used for desktop traffic only, a 10 bucks a year basic Comodo or Geotrust SSL cert will do just fine.

If you need to support mobile browsers you might want to go with something like GeoTrust QuickSSL Premium or a similar product where they explicitly support mobile devices. It seems that not all SSL certificates are trusted by mobile browsers.

Hey man, try this:

If you installed CPV Lab in a folder:

If you installed CPV Lab in the root:

Your problem is that you use http://yourdomain.com/base2.php?subid=#s2#
But that is the URL you have to use to redirect the users to the offer.
For postback you have to use http://yourdomain.com/adclick.php?subid=#s2# just as kyuss says

---

why need to append &revenue=#price# ?

---

In most tracking systems that usually that overrides the default value for the campaign - useful if the network changes the payout and if you are splitting traffic across multiple networks with different payouts (assuming tracking system doesn't have configuration available to rotate offer links with different associated payouts)

---

Yeah what Zeno said, I always set the payout to 0 and use a postback to return the lead value when possible. Also, there are offers that pay for different age groups or actions through one aff link. It wouldn't be possible to track that properly by using a default lead value. Another scenario is that you go over your offer cap and the traffic is redirected to another offer, if you set a global postback (or just on the second offer) using the revenue parameter your earnings will still be tracked properly.

---

so you are meaning you will get accurate stats especially split testing among networks ?

---

you're fast to response

---

Thx man, that was it, I somehow copied the wrong line out of CPV Lab. You would think that after like 100 campaigns stuff like that shouldn't happen

---

Cake platform :
(Specify $0.00 in the lead payout, the #price# will automatically populated in the postback url)
https://tracker.com/adclick.php?subi...evenue=#price#

HasOffer platform :
https://tracker.com/adclick.php?subid=aff_sub2

NeverBlue platform :
https://tracker.com/adclick.php?subid={subid2}

HitPath platform (W):
(Manually hardcode the lead payout c3=1.00 in the offer url when setup campaign)
https://tracker.com/adclick.php?xxc2xx&revenue=xxc3xx

Anyone know what to specified for HasOffer and Neverblue platform, correct me if I'm wrong, i prefer setup correctly once rather than clear up the mess later.

---

This should work for CPV Lab:

Cake:

With Hasoffers and NB you don't need to use subid 2, unless you want to, that's a Cake thing.

HasOffers:
Neverblue:
Not sure about HitPath dude, sorry.

---

@kyuss : I use subid 2 it keep me consistence especially when setup campaign, rather than need to figure which one to use for the subid, troublesome !

---

In that case, you'll need {aff_sub2} at the end for HasOffers, and {subid2} at the end for Neverblue.
