CPV Lab on FB (31)

I saw the same thread for POF, so ...

How do i setup CPVLab to track FB. I have the guide from CPVLab, but i have no idea how to make report template for FB.

Also, if anybody knows how to setup CPVLab-Spydr tool-Facebook, it would be much appreciated

facebook & cpvlab:
- go to settings >> add cpv network
- create a new network "Facebook" and enter

source: facebook
sourceID: fb
Keyword Token: keyword
Append token: &keyword=EDIT

if you make a new direct linking campaign you will get a link like:

yourdomain/base.php?c=asdf&key=1234w34234&keyword=EDIT

replace EDIT with your tracking id (e.g. ...&keyword=w1-[subid]-[agemin]-[titlenum]-[sex]

honestly... i don't know how to do this with a report. i just copy & paste subids from EWA to cpvlab manually.

Get a SSL for your tracking domain and use image pixels to see instant conversions :-)

put the ad name at the end of your cpvlab tracking link.....then when it converts if you have your pixel set up at the network you will see which ad it is

This is what i have on CPVLab platform after uploading SubID's:



There is no cost and no ads/keywords.
I'm probably missing something in the setup.

you are missing the following from movingshadow's post

yourdomain/base.php?c=asdf&key=1234w34234&keyword=EDIT
replace EDIT with your tracking id (e.g. ...&keyword=w1-[subid]-[agemin]-[titlenum]-[sex]

when you use your campaign url on fb, make sure you replace EDIT with whatever you want to track. lets say you wanted to track 23 year old girls from california then your facebook url (yourdomain/base.php?c=asdf&key=1234w34234&keyword=EDIT) would be changed to yourdomain/base.php?c=asdf&key=1234w34234&keyword=23_FEMALE_C ALIFORNIA or something like that

for your cost on your campaign setup, put something in the Stats CPV: field. I usually ballpark it. if my average click cost is 40 cents then i put .4 in that field

This is my setup:

http://mydomain.com/track/base.php?c...eyword=Exxxxxx[subid]-[keyword]-[sex]

and this is the subID that i get: 16ta4h1k_17_8609

This is how I setup the tracking with spydr's tool



As you noticed I use spydr's tags to dynamically insert subid, agemin as well as age max. This will output something like this: ad03-13-17 and this way you exactly know which ad converts if your pixel is working.

Do i need to add tokens or this is the right setup?

cpvlab gives 16ta4h1k_17_8609 to your affiliate network so that they don't see your tracking info. when you paste the subids back into cpvlab it tells you which ad converted. even without uploading those subids back to cpvlab, you should see some sort of tracking information in your stats.

when you get everything right, cpvlab will show:
ad01-keyword-female
ad02-keyword-female
ad03-keyword-male

with relevant stats WITHOUT conversion info.

when you upload your 16ta4h1k_17_8609 subids, cpvlab will then show which ads converted.

i think your problem has something to do with your dynamic keywords. maybe they are not setup right in spydr. in your ad you have this at the end? keyword=ad100-keyword-male/female? is there really a / there? if there is, maybe thats causing a problem?

try this. take your campaign url and append anything at the end and load it in your browser. http://yourdomain.com/base.php?c=358...stingsubidhere. testingsubidhere should now show in your stats in cpvlab.

i think i have the same "problem":

when i click on "stats" in cpvlab and chose the campaign i see my keywords, clicks etc. but NO conversions (all 0)

but

when i click on "reports" i see my keywords AND conversions.

edit:
@godspeed: sorry to bother you with this but in the field "URL Append Token" there you have &keyword= EDIT... looks like you have a space between the = and EDIT. this might "break the string".

You have to ad the "AU[subid]-[agemin]-[agemax]" string at the end of your cpvlab link you have inserted into Sypdr's tool. So simply ad this AU[subid]-[agemin]-[agemax] to your link and you're ready to go > &keyword=AU[subid]-[agemin]-[agemax]

revamping old thread but anyone knows if CPVlab supports https (i have SSL installed) for tracking pixel? EWA requires on some offers https

You guys are missing something that the thread starter asked.... that's...

How do you guys upload the click cost of FB to CPV Lab?

I need to bring out this issue as well because I've just bought CPVLab and I can't seem to find a tutorial to help on this. I did message Robert on this but he says I need to manually configure the report and upload "really fresh" reports to CPVLab for correct stats, at which I find quite inconvenient.

Anyone facing similar problem and can share with me your solution..?

I understand that CPVLab is mainly for PPV tracking but I am surprised that Robert didn't actually look at recording the correct Facebook cpc and include in CPVLab. OR else it would have been a perfect piece of tracking system I would say (at my level of course).

check this: http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...ll=1#post39186

my earlier answer on this very thread deals w/conversion pixel and how to make CPVLab track conversions automatically for offers/networks that require secure image/tracking/etc

^ my understanding is you have different report views... when you upload a report you can select same day and keep updating it.. when it's done you click view and it's fine... if later in the day you have new stats to upload use the same method and when you click on view you from dropdown you can see prev reports so I just delete the earlier file.. not sure if this make sense but knock on wood it works for me so far

there's a pull down menu from reports section that allows you to filter your view.. so let's say day 1 you upload day 1 spending report, day 2, day 3, etc. Once you're in the reports section you can use the dropdown menu to filter to a specific report

I find it too difficult to track Facebook using CPVLab. So I decided to stick back to P202. Honestly Robert should add in the function whereby you can just straight download the report from FB and upload them.

@kokofai : I already dropped a ticket to Robert, maybe next update will have this feature, we shall see.

i tried to set up cpvlab last night, but i am not clear with the concept...my link looks like this
