Help needed on prosper (7)

Help needed on prosper

Sorry to post another problem i'm having with prosper but i have a campaign running with quite a few conversions but subid tracking isn't working and cant work out which banners and LP's are working.

This is what i think the process is and how i'm implementing it to see if someone can spot the problem.

So in campaign setup i set my link as http://network/?a=1111&c=22222&s1=campaign name&s3=[[subid]] ,passing the campaign as s1 and subid as s3

When i test this link the campaign name appears in the network s1 field but in the s3 field there is just [[subid]]

When i test my full prosper link again the campaign name appears but there is noting in the s3 field

any ideas anyone ?

Hmm, that's very strange. We'll get it figured out, though!

First thing that occurs to me: is your campaign name one word or two words? Any spaces in the URL might cause wierd things to happen.

Also, what happens if you just include the s3 variable in your link and test the Prosper link? In other words, rather than the URL you've used in campaign setup, just use

http://network/?a=1111&c=22222&s3=[[subid]]

Hi Caurman thx for taking a look

My campaign name is a single 4 digit alphabetic word

if i remove the s1 as above then again [[subid]] appears in the s3 field - by the way its a cake setup

That is a little weird. Here's some options:

Try reordering it:

Code:
http://network/?a=1111&c=22222&s3=[[subid]]&s1=campaign name 
http://network/?s3=[[subid]]&a=1111&c=22222&s1=campaign name
How about s2 tag? Probably doesn't make a difference, but worth a shot
Code:
http://network/?a=1111&c=22222&s1=campaign name&s2=[[subid]]
Are you using original prosper202 or STM Mobile?

Also, how are you testing the links? Are you using the "#7 Get Links" to retrieve the destination URL? Is it direct-linking or advanced LP?

Any details on how you're setting up the whole campaign would help figure it out.

Seems like a setup/usage issue.

I haven't heard of this happening. My guess is that you are not using the link from step #7?

What version of p202 are you using, older versions of prosper202 didn't have [[subid]]

Nana! What's up man?? Long time no talk.

How's everything going?

Hi Jasper! Yeah been a while, all is well. You?

Great to see you on the forum.

For all of you who don't know, Jasper's mods have been a big part of P202.
