CPVLab: More Than 1 Postback URL? (13)

I've never seen this before, but this specific campaign has a Steps tab:


My usual Postback URL is

http://mydomain.com/adclick.php?subid=#s2#&revenue=#price#

Ah, this is a tricky one - by default, most trackers aren't set up to handle this sort of situation.

I've never found a good solution.

Can anyone else suggest a workaround?

@nyc The way it's setup in cake only allows for one subid to be passed through. The affiliate link is only clicked once, so CPVLab has no idea how to distinguish between different transactions.

This means you can only pass 1 subid back to CPVLab. Assuming your postback looks something like this:

http://mycpvlabtracker.com/adclickf.php?subid=#s2#&revenue=#price#

CPV Lab has a feature to add multiple revenue to a conversion. If you fire a conversion with this pixel:

http://cpvlab/adclick?subid=qqqqqq_1_2&revenue=11

the revenue of this conversion will be $11. If you execute the next pixel

http://cpvlab/adclick?subid=qqqqqq_1...e=1&cladd=true

the revenue of this conversion will be $12 because it adds the $1 to the existing revenue of $11.

See "Adding Revenues from the Conversion Pixel" in the user guide.

Exactly , this is a feature that both prosper and CPVLab have but few users know about it.

You can upload a CSV that has all the subids and on the other column the payout for that conversion.

This was a must back in the coreg days where each subid had a different payout.

thanks for the replies! The offer was paused but If I can get it running or another offer with a similar setup I'll have to test this out!

have a similar question and it kind of relates to this thread, when using cake. So lets say i have a campaign that has a few offers (all cake networks) and they all have different payouts, so i have offer A that pays 2.00 and Offer B pays 1.00, the the lead cap or budget get hits on offer A sometime in the day and i get redirected at the network level to offer B which is set as inactive but its in the same campaign, now when my pixel fires what payout does it fire at? the live campaign that is showing a payout of 2.00 but its really not going to that offer or the 1.00 payout . Basically want to have proper stats at the end of days, my postback in cake looks like this right now http://mytracker.com/adclick.php?subid=#s2#

You should be fine if you ad &revenue=#price# to the end of your postback URL - Cake will put in the revenue for the offer that the conversion came from so will keep track of the payout. Just make sure to set the postback URL in the settings for both offer A and offer B.

so would my postback look like this on the offers like this http://mytracker.com/adclick.php?sub...evenue=#price# and this is how i have my offers setup in cpv lab right now, what should i make those ? http://affnetwork/?a=433861&c=33794&s2={!subid!}


Really appreciate the help man. and obviously for payouts on cpvlab i would just put what the actual payout for the specific offer is right?

Yep @ postback format. As for the offer URL in CPVlab it's fine as is - though I would recommend passing something practical as s1 - e.g. US_M_Camp1_abc so that network side you can segregate campaigns if need be. Also means the advertiser can give you feedback on what is and isn't working for them. If all your traffic comes through without any labeling then you could get booted entirely whilst half of your traffic is fine.

For the payouts in CPVlab just set them to that of offer A. The &revenue=#price# bit in the postback will override them anyway so they are just defaults.

well what i am doing is just passing a extra token as s1= and that is what is keeping everything segregated on the network side for traffic source so that part is covered . but the main thing i wanted to be certain on is the way i am placing the pixel on the networks is correct, so this is the right way to do it right can you please confirm .

so by doing this, if a offer hit its cap at a network and redirected to another offer that is also in rotation in the same campaign in my cpvlab setup it will fire the pixel for that offer and that price right?

Yes it should do. That postback URL setup looks fine.
