tracking link questions

okay, I have been playing with this for a week and I still seem to get stuck on the details ...

I am with POF and have prosper202 for tracking, if I have got this right the link flow is set up like this-

POF(campaign)-----------> Prosper202(tracking)------------> offer (and back to Prosper202 with postback url)

If I place c1={gender:}&c2={age:}&c3={state:} at the end of the POF ----->Prosper link url, that information shows up in the Prosper Stats. I can see that information individually as a text bubble when I hover over links in Spy tab.
Two Questions!
1: Can I get that same information to pass through the Prosper202 --------->offer link url by using the same c1={gender:}&c2={age:}&c3={state:} to the offer reports? (I have tried but just get the query formatting)
2: Where in the Prosper202 tables can I see the gender/age/state information? (not the link text hover!)

I think it's under Overview> Group Overview

What is it showing?

actually I think POF is not placing the data in the url, as I noted down the id of one click that was showing data and it does actually appear in Prosper202, but I would guess its only appearing in 5% of the clicks. I had better have a close look at my urls just to make sure I haven't placed an error in there somewhere.

Anybody got any ideas for question 1?

In the #3 Campaigns section, you can transfer that data by using the [[c#]] tags. Example:

Code:

http://affiliatelink.com/?s1=[[c1]]&s2=[[c2]]

1. Go to "Overview >> Group Overview" tab
2. Select "Group By: c1" and "Group By: c2" and "Group By: c3"

Can you do a post an example of link you see in the spy tab? It would help in troubleshooting your issues.

Ah! thanks JasperP, I think that is what I was doing wrong, I was including the full original &s1=[state:]&s2=[gender:]&s3=[age:] and not just using the &s1=[[c1]]&s2=[[c2]] tags by themselves

I will have another trial with this and if I have further problem post an example, thanks for your help!
