Help w/ Voluum + Leadbolt (11)

---

Hey dudes,

I tried to setup Leadbolt + Voluum + Above All Offers (which I believe uses Cake)

Can someone please take a look at these images and tell me what is amiss? Leadbolt says conversion tracking has been tested, but I'm not seeing the conversions come up.

Update:

Ok, I found this thread: http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...light=leadbolt

In it, there's a picture of how to setup Voluum + Leadbolt http://d.pr/i/ZL8X

I also updated my offer url: http://XXXXXXXXX.com/?a=XXX&c=XXXXX&s1={campaign.id}&s1={clickid}

So I created a new campaign in Voluum with the changes, and then went to my Leadbolt campaign and updated it with the new URL.

Now I'm just waiting for Leadbolt to approve the campaign and test it, hopefully it should work now, I'll report back.

That screenshot is correct - use that setup.

For that offer URL, just change it to have &s1=.....&s2={clickid} - at the moment you have two s1's.

Then, in Cake, change your postback URL to hxxp://abcde.trackvoluum.com/postback?cid=#s2#

Ok, yeah it was still not working so I'm glad you posted this. Now I updated it on Voluum's end, I'm waiting for a conversions to see if it's fixed. I don't want to have to go change the URL link for my ads since I'd have to wait another day or so for them to get approved again.

Is there a way to send your ads to PHP redirect so that you can change the URL if needed? Instead of "long.Voluum.com/trackingurl", perhaps "landingpage.com/ad1" that had a immediate redirect to "long.Voluum.com/trackingurl". Would the tokens still pass?

---

This is Voluum's job.

Ideally you would have the Voluum campaign link as your ad URL and you can then control everything that happens next in Voluum.

Adding another step to the mix isn't sensible.

---

Hmm, well then something still isn't working =/. I'll have to take a second look at it.

---

It's working now! Weird, I guess the conversions take a little while to show up on Leadbolt.

Edit: Well I was expecting conversion data showing up in Leadbolt to give me a little info, but it's really pretty much "yeah you got one" with hardly any data behind it. At least it's working in Voluum too though, all I need.

---

metalshark's next question will probably be how to exclude bad performing publishers/placements, with data he gathered using the [PUB_ID] token. It happens to be a problem I'm facing at the moment. Leadbolt's FAQ doesn't have any info on this and support isn't very responsive. Does anyone know how to do this?

Sorry for hijacking your thread, metalshark

---

I was actually under the impression that you couldn't, but if there's a way, please let me know! I've just started getting my campaign above water.

---

Just talked to their support. It seems that being able to exclude bad publishers is a privilege, only for top advertisers spending a few K per day or more. It also has to be done manually by the account manager.

---

Run some campaigns, get some data and tell them you would like to get some bad pubs blacklisted to help you scale.

Blacklisting pubs is one of those things that no experienced marketer will tolerate not having if available.
