Voluum+ClickDealer not tracking

Hello everybody.
Has set up AdCash+Voluum+ClickDealer. Traffic source is working fine, tracking Clicks too.
Unfortunatelly the rest is total mess. I have read so many forums about links, postback urls etc and I've got stuck.
Basically information overload

http://track.mydomain.com/postback?cid={REPLACE}&payout={OPTIONAL}
REPLACE with what?

Tracking page in Clickdealer. What put where?

Also there are some clicks going to totally different offer in Clickdealer. Where is that coming from? Any ideas?

Thanks for any help...

http://track.mydomain.com/postback?c...payout=#price# under "Postback URL (Server Pixel):" works for me.

a few random clicks on other offers from time to time is normal for me.

Yes those clicks are probably auto redirected because of wrong GEO, carrier e.t.c.

Thanks @makeitrain. Will try it and see how does it work. About thouse random clicks: I have about 6% of them, don't know if that's normal.

Also I have noticed:
From visits to clicks I have around 65% CTR, is that possible? But than the real conversion is very low (0.4%).

By from visits to clicks do you mean LP CTR, or visits in Voluum vs clicks at ClickDealer?

FYI ClickDealer is using Cake. All networks using Cake use the same tokens.

6% out-of-geo clicks isn't particularly surprising.

Hi Zeno.
Voluum: Visits to clicks (CTR cca 67%)
Clicks in Voluum 7250, Clicks in Clickdealer: 5490. Is it normal such difference?
Conversion rate in Clickdealer: 0.4%.
Still wasn't able to add Conversions to Voluum.
I know that ClickDealer is using Cake. Haven't been able to understand which tokens add where exactly to work...

So, you must be using a landing page.

How many clicks are you being charged for at your traffic source.

A very high LP CTR + horrendous back end CVR is often due to bot clicks.

Use the insight Voluum gives i.e. carriers, browsers, devices, IPs, to see if there is a clear large amount coming from some single source.

Ans of course... what is the current spend vs revenue? This is the most important comparison to actually make. If you have spent $10 and got 5000 clicks, 90% of which are bot clicks, who cares if the 10% of real clicks have then produced $20 in revenue.

Regarding tracking, your offer URL in Voluum should be something like:

hxxp://clickdealertracking.com/?a=1234&c=5678&s1=something&s2={clickid}

And your postback URL at ClickDealer should be:

hxxp://abcde.trackvoluum.com/postback?cid=#s2#&payout=#price#

Cake is always the same!

Is there a particular reason you guys have it set as subid2/s2?

06-13-2014 07:35 PM #9 superboi (Member)

because they don't allow random strings on s1... f5media and clickdealer from what I can see..

It is a feature of the Cake platform that excessive s1's are problematic and cause issues for the affiliate as well (account gets locked for a bit).

There are lots of networks that use Cake - once you know what it looks like it impossible to not know a platform uses Cake!
