Prosper202 tracking for RON campaigns (4)
Say you were running a RON campaign to hundreds of sites in 5 countries, with multiple banners, how could you track the country and website that the clicks came from in prosper202? I'm using exo, so I can see how many clicks I am getting on each website, but I don't know what country each click is coming from. I am using a unique keyword parameter for each banner's URL, so I can see how many clicks each banner gets in my prosper stats, but it doesn't tell me the website that it came from in a RON campaign. In the "referrers" section, it will just say "main.exoclick", etc. as it rightfully should since that is the referrer, but that doesn't help me one bit. Is there any way of using the c1, c2, c3, etc. parameters in prosper and in my pixel URL to track which website the clicks are coming from in my prosper stats?
The only way to see what site placement your working with is generally via the tokens/macros supplied by the traffic source or by targeting one placement at a time and including that in the banner URL. Referrers aren't very reliable. The STM-modded p202 lets you group by country in the Group Overview section.

2. Use GEO location apis like Maxmind to detect visitor's country
3. Check your traffic source's documentation if they provide any Dynamic token or Dynamic variable/url parameter to pass the website name to url from where traffic is orginating. 95% traffic sources have such feature.
4. You can use c1,c2,c3 in Prosper202. You don't need to pass them to pixel. Subid is always unique and you can use it to determine which c1,c2,c3 sent conversion.
The easiest way to do it is to use the STM tracker instead of P202.
It has in-built country reporting.
