Leadbolt + Mundo Media + Voluum Setup o.O (2)

---

solid 7 hours going at this... ahh any help would be great

Attempting to be able to successfully track an app install offer from Mundo Media with Voluum, and using Leadbolt as my traffic network.

Here is what I did: (see if you can catch where I'm going wrong)

1) Mundo Media gave me my offer link ---> http://mylink.com/mt/2342sdfsd3434dff/

2) I went into Voluum and I set up Leadbolt as a traffic source... http://www.screencast.com/t/n3oRntgZ1
- I left custom variable 1 blank on purpose since I heard it's not good to make it {clk_id}
- there are few more custom variable I added under but I think it's irrelevant for this (but let me know if not)
- note: my affiliate network (Mundo Media) was already added to Voluum

3) Then I created the offer in Voluum, in the "URL" field I placed my offer link with something added
- here is my appended offer link I used ---> http://mylink.com/mt/2342sdfsd3434dff/&subid1=LM&subid2={clickid}
- the bold part is what was added to my original offer link
- subid is what Mundo uses I believe
- and I just place LM for subid1 since it was left blank

4) Next I created a campaign in Voluum and it gave me a "Campaign URL" when I clicked "Save."
- postback URL field was left blank

What's missing now I assume is to make my campaign in Leadbolt and put my Postback URL in Mundo Media.

5) So I went into Leadbolt and created my campaign.
- my "Campaign URL" from Voluum was used as my "Landing URL" when creating the campaign here in Leadbolt.

6) Then I clicked on the "gear" icon of my campaign I just made --> clicked on "conversion tracking code" ---> copied the "server side postback" URL
- It looked like this ---> http://ad.leadbolt.net/conv/?track_id={ref_id}&clk_id=
- {ref_id} was already populated

7) Then I went into Mundo Media under the "Pixels" tab and placed this URL I just got ---> http://ad.leadbolt.net/conv/?track_id={ref_id}&clk_id=
- but I added the {externalid} of Mundo Media at the end which is %SUBID1%
- so it looked like this ---> http://ad.leadbolt.net/conv/?track_id={ref_id}&clk_id=%SUBID1%
- besides the {ref_id} which was already populated
- this essentially works as the "Postback URL" to post back to my traffic source I'm assuming

And that's it.

Can you catch anything wrong here? In Leadbolt it's showing my "Conversion tracking has not been detected."

Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure how Leadbolts tracking works but there is a simple solution here: go use the traffic source template provided by Voluum. It's comprehensive and looks straightforward.

Part 2) You can pass things under any custom parameter to Voluum - it's only some affiliate networks that don't like getting unique click IDs as the first subid.

Part 3) Query strings must start with a ? and subsequent keys are separated by an ampersand. In your link you need to have ....dff/?subid1=something&subid2=....

Part 4-6) Firstly, you should get the postback URL from Leadbolt. It is Voluum that is going to fire this, not Mundo Media. Go to your Leadbolt traffic source setup in Voluum and add the Leadbolt postback URL there. If you have used the template it is already set up:



From this it looks like the only thing you need to do is find your TRACK_ID value from Leadbolt and replace it in the postback URL. I'm not sure what this value is - is it unique per account? Per app? Etc. It could be that it's passed with the [TRACK_ID] token which is custom variable 6, so you could just put ?track_id={var6} in the postback URL. But again, I'm not 100% sure if that's what's required and why it wouldn't be set up already in the template.

That reconciles Voluum and Leadbolt.

Now connect the dots by getting Mundo to fire a postback to Voluum only - by sending back the click ID.

You are passing Voluum's click ID as subid2.

So, in Mundo, set your postback URL to myvoluum.com/postback?cid=%SUBID2%&payout=%PAYOUT%

Note: I don't use Mundo so don't know their tokens, so do double check.
