Simple Global Tracking Pixels with POFpro and F5Media. (13)
I've been successful with the use of the Simple Global Post-Back URL and I've encountered that not all of my conversions are reporting correctly.
In this picture I just recently pasted this code from POFpro into the Pixel HTML field within F5media.
Now from the POFpro tracking tab at the top right it says that I should add this to the confirmation page where the conversion has occurred, but I'm a little confused with this, and I think it belongs in the field below?
I'm not positive, but I wanted to make sure. I have three offers that are similar but with the a price payout change, obviously.
Is this correct or am I missing something? I've only been using the PostBack URL, not the firing of pixels.
There is no reason to combine multiple pixel types to fire the same conversion to PoFPro.
If the offer supports server-to-server tracking, use the postback URL option for PoFPro and nothing else.
Those other pixels do go in the HTML box but you would 1) only use the iFrame OR the image and 2) would not use this in addition to the postback URL if that was working.
Other pixels unrelated to PoFPro could still go in the HTML box though.
Also you should check your PoFPro postback URL format - it currently looks incorrect - I am not sure why you have tokens in their like {gender:}.
Postback URLs generally communicate a payout and a unique click ID. In this case, all you would likely need is amount=#price#&subid=#s5#.
In fact, the &s2, &s3, &s4 parts could potentially cause errors by confusing PoFPro.
I removed the the links from the Pixel HTML and now I have this for the Postback URL:
/p/tracking/track-postback.php?amount=5.76#price#&subid=#s5#
Is this how it should look?
I've edited this post four times, lol this is one confusing bit.
I think it's this one, but I want to make sure.
/p/tracking/track-postback.php?amount=#5.76#&subid=#s5#
Okay so this is what I did. I went into the F5Media panel and set clicking to the testing mode so the network knew I would be testing with bogus information.
I clicked on the "Click-Through URL & Custom Token" tab in POFpro and submitted data for the Gender, Age, Location and hit enter. I then went to F5Media and checked out the click report to make sure the entered information was saved into F5, and it was.
My settings are the same with the other two offers except that s1= is a different campaign name, and the payout is different.
I now think this is correct based on some of the others posts and re-reading the tracking. This is exactly how I have it set right now, is this correct?
Sorry for beating a dead horse 
Woah there, haha your postback URL is way wrong.
Where exactly did you get it from?
/p/tracking/track-postback.php?amount=#5.76#&subid=#s5# doesn't point to your server.
This is like telling F5 Media's server to send the postback to C:\windows\postback.wut
You need to point to an address on the internet i.e. your PoFPro installation, so the link will be more like:
http://mypofprodomain.com/track-post...76#&subid=#s5#
Here's the official POFPro tutorial on postback setup:

The included picture is the settings that are on there right now, and not what I had typed up earlier. the (track-postback.php?amount=#5.76#&subid=#s5#) bit.
This is what I have setup on now, and it reports the generated dynamic tokens back to F5Media. The entire domain name is inserted, and works like I said.
Oh thank god haha - confused me a bit.
I think it's because in your screenshot I saw /www and thought of a linux dir e.g. /var/www/domainname/files
On closer inspection you can see the second slash and I now realise it's the http://www.
Lols.
Anyway, setup looks fine - I presume it is now tracking conversions as expected?
Okay thank god 
When I click the "Click-Through URL & Custom Token" and add fake Gender, Age, State everything shows up in F5Media under the clicks report. It's labeled test since I enabled the testing portion.
So if its reporting correctly then everything should be okay now right? How about the dynamic tokens added to the offer in POFpro? that's okay? I just want to make sure POFpro capture all of the details correctly.
Yes it looks fine.
If the details are being passed to F5 during your test then you are on track.
If you check the click report and subid5 has unique click IDs then it should all work a treat.
Of course monitor your campaign once live to check data is coming through and a conversion gets passed, if not, pause and investigate further.
I'd probably recommend firing a test click to be sure, but yep, should all be good.
Yeah it works with the variable details listed in subID2-subID4 and the final one showing the long numerical click ID. I still occasionally get conversions missing, but the clicks seem to be okay. I tend to find more conversions from F5media then from POFpro. In fact on the pof ads department it shows that I've never had a conversion.
