Would appreciate some help with POFPro tracking (3)

Would appreciate some help with POFPro tracking

Hello,

Read through the tutorials and guides on tracking and still can't wrap my head entirely around it. If anyone could let me know I've got this, I would really appreciate it.

I'm running an offer from AboveAllOffers.

The affiliate link looks like this:

http://trkabove.com/?a=15289&c=48904&s1=

Do I simply append {subid:} to end of the above link to make:

http://trkabove.com/?a=15289&c=48904&s1={subid:}

....and add the above link into the 'Offers' tab in POFPro?


When it comes to Postback URL's, POFPro gave me the following url:

http://www.*********.com/p/tracking/...amount=&subid=


I would then place THIS link into AboveAllOffer's Cake tracking system correct?

I WOULDN'T append {subid:} to the end of that link though, right? What goes there?


I feel like I'm making this more confusing than it actually is, BUT I just want to make sure I've got the basics.


Regards,

Joseph

Don't send unique click/tracking IDs to Cake (and other systems) as the first subid. In Cake specifically this will eventually cause an error and lock you out as it messes with the reporting.

Instead, pass it as s2 i.e.

hxxp://trkabove.com/?a=15289&c=48904&s1=something&s2={subid:}

I don't use PoFPro so I'll assume {subid:} is their conversion/click tracking token.

Since that is being passed as S2, in AboveAllOffers you need to place PoFPro's postback URL and include the value of S2, i.e.

hxxp://www.*********.com/p/tracking/track-postback.php?amount=&subid=#s2#

Here #s2# is the Cake token for the s2 value.

You should also pass payout dynamically, so:

hxxp://www.*********.com/p/tracking/track-postback.php?amount=#price#&subid=#s2#

Then you should be all set!

Thanks Zeno.

Clicks are being reported in AboveAllOffer's Cake system so it looks I'm doing something right.

Looks like it was definitely the s2 variable where I messed up.
