Capturing Extra Tokens @ cpvlab

Hi there,
I am learning how to use cpvlab and trying to set it up with exoclick. According to exoclick I can use dynamic tag {variation_id}
ID of the variation. (Banner or landing page) so I chose "add extra tokens" and make it look like:

Click image for larger version. 

Name:	extratoken.jpg 
Views:	44 
Size:	18.7 KB 
ID:	3264

Later I end up with a link:

http://trackerurl.com/base.php?c=4&key=1a0969b0fb1c6496edb998aa91f6d90d& keyword={src_hostname}&usrch={keyword}&varid={vari ation_id}

And the problem is that when I set up my campaign at exoclick and set the URLs with &varid={banner1}, &varid={banner2}, &varid={banner3} I don't find the data for each of the banners. I only see this data:

Click image for larger version. 

Name:	report.jpg 
Views:	41 
Size:	19.5 KB 
ID:	3265

So my questions are what am I doing wrong and where can I see the data for each banner's performance? Do I need to set up a separate campaign for each banner?

Thank you.


P.S I don't use SubID's because I own the offer.

You need to just keep {variation_id} in all of the banner URLs.

The point of these dynamic tags or tokens is that they change each time depending on the creative, targeting, or placement.

By putting in {banner1} you are likely confusing Exoclick's system by giving an unknown dynamic tag.

Whereas if you use {variation_id}, for each banner this will get replaced on-the-fly with e.g. creative1, creative2, etc.

So, the link you posted is the correct one to use.

Understood. Thanks. But where should I see the data about each banner's performance? I can't find it anywhere in my cpvlab.

It will be in your Campaign Stats.



Above the filters dropdown, upper right corner.

You should find your custom tokens there by right.
