S2S link? (4)
Maybe this is a noob question (but so am i :P ).
I've been talking to my AM and he asked me if i have an S2S link for testing tracking.
I tried a search in the STM forums, but i didnt really find anything.
So, if an experienced AF could explain this a bit to me, that would be a AWESOME!
S2S = server to server. They are talking about a postback URL, which is the main method of communicating conversions to your tracking system.
Whatever tracking system you use, you need to give them your postback URL.
You can then have the affiliate network put tokens in it to pass back offer payout and a unique click ID that you passed in your affiliate link.
E.g. your postback URL might be hxxp://mytrackingsystem.com/postback?cid={aff_sub5}&payout={payout}
Where the {tokens} are those specific to the network. Here for the unique ID (cid) I have aff_sub5, so in my affiliate link I would have told my tracking system to pass my unique click ID under that parameter, e.g. hxxp://myafflink.com/blahblah?aff_sub5={clickid}
Thank you Zeno.
Do I get this link from decisive or
Both Decisive and
But, you should use your
Network posts to Voluum. Voluum in turn posts to Decisive (you put Decisives postback URL in the traffic source section in Voluum).
If you need to figure out Decisive > Voluum > Network, there are literally dozens and dozens of follow-alongs and threads discussing tracking with Voluum/Decisive, almost irritatingly so!
