Hi everyone,
Thanks to Caurmen's post about Setting up Prosper202 I'm almost ready to go, until I decided a minute ago to test drive my settings.
Everything's getting tracked properly in Prosper202. I clicked text ad #1 (yes), I clicked image 4 (yes, true), I clicked trough to the offer (yes, propery tracked), but Prosper202 didn't track that I signed up!
I am using Postback URL with my dutch affiliate network Daisycon (I don't know which tracking system they us), but it looks like similar to other networks. This is my Postback URL:
http://MyDatingWebsite.com/tracking202/static/gpb.php?amount={ta}&ws2={ws2}
{ta} is a standard code from Daisycon which communicates the "payout rate".
{ws2} is a unique code created by me to communicate the SUBID.
My Offer URL is ds.nl/....&ws2=[[subid]]. So I want Daisycon to communicate these SUBIDs back to Prosper202 and that's why I put &ws2={ws2} at the end.
What am I doing wrong?
Your postback URL should be gpb.php?amount={ta}&subid={ws2}
Prosper202 has no idea what ws2 is so passing it to gpb.php as a querystring will do absolutely nothing...
Thanks Zeno. Will try it out!!
Tested again, but again nothing. Changed my link to subid={ws2} as Prosper202 only recognize the parameter subid= (Thanks to Zeno), but there's still something wrong here...
My Affiliate network is reporting that it reported a conversion to this postback URL on 01.59 AM and that's true, because then I did signup to an offer for the second time (for testing purposes)... But still Prosper202 don't show this conversion in the statistics!
Really confused..
1. Is the ws2 parameter at your network correctly listing a numerical subid? I.e. is the p202 subid getting passed properly such that when it inserts {ws2} is it inserting a number like "12" or "236".
2. Are you 100% certain your conversion wasn't considered a duplicate and thus not actually reported?
3. Postback URLs can be fired by anyone. Load the postback URL yourself and see if that triggers the conversion. I.e. actually load the full postback URL with included amount and subid parameters in your browser (preferably in a private/incognito mode to avoid cookie issues).
1. Yes, Prosper202 lists a numerical subid after ws2, but somehow my affiliate network (when I look in the full detailed reports doesn't show this number. Instead, its hows this: "-")
2. It is not considered a duplicate by my network, but maybe it's considered a duplicate by Prosper202...
3. I have tried this, and now it works. If I visit with an proxy the landing page and then call the Postback URL with the SUBID of the visit with the proxy, then it works
Thanks for your help so far.
The problem must be the passing of the subid to the network then... if it is showing "-" then something is amiss somewhere.
Yeah, I will wait when I get approved somewhere else. Thanks for your help anyway!!
Update: I got Peerfly up and working on conversion tracking. I will contact Daisycon to check how their tracking system works!
I think there's a flaw with CAKE platforms so you can't use subid1. MY AM was telling me this.
If it's CAKE then for sure, don't use subid1 - but I have no idea what platform Daisycon is using though, with these weird {ta} and {ws2} tokens... CAKE tokens are typically in the form of ##abc##. Could be hasoffers?
@alpacino - it might be worth you asking your AM what tracking platform they're using. That'll help us help you out!
