I wanted the affiliate network to report conversion to my tracker and report conversion to my traffic source..
on my tracker it works fine... because I am using the postbackURL...
for my traffic source I tried to use PIXEL... it doesn't work... or the network is not reporting conversions to my traffic source...
(I actually never tried using pixel that works.. only postbackURL)...
the reason why I need to do this is because... i am doing mobile camps....
and in my tracker i can see models/brands/carrier/etc... but the referrers are blanks... so there's nothing much i can do in the tracker side...
on the traffic source... i can see the referrer/sites but i cannot see the models/brands/carrier/etc...
the traffic source also provide pixel/postbackurl... and I tried using their pixel (pixel doesn't work)... because on CAKE... only 1 postbackURL is allowed...
thanks a lot in advance guys!
1. Can you not pass referrer/site data to your tracker?
2. The good thing about postback URLs is they require no user. Just server to server communication. One handy benefit of this is, if you wanted to, you could fire 100 postback URLs consecutively every time a conversion happens. No jokes, it's trivial.
To summarise how to do this in a nutshell, you would pass both the click ID from the traffic source and the click ID from the tracker, to the network, ideally under different subids. E.g. Tracker ID under s2, traffic source ID under s3. You then host a PHP script on your own server, and you send a postback to this script saying first click ID = #s2# and second click ID = #s3#, then the script code fires two separate postbacks accordingly.
Note: not sure why you'd need to do this since most trackers do 3rd-party postbacks just fine (STM-modded p202 may be having issues with this?).
