Can't figure how to get postback to work with a specific network.

Normally I dont have problems with postbacks to work, but can't figure it out with this specific network. Talked to their tech guy and he suggested:

Our CPVlab postback: http://trackinglink.com/adclick.php?subid={subid}
Their aff link: http://networklink.com/xx/xx/xx?cl=xxx&subid={subid}

Nothings happening though, tried other ways but no luck. Surely missing something stupid here?

Cheers!

Your postback needs to use the network's tokens, not your own.

What tracking platform are they using? Then it's just a matter of finding the right token to pass back subid information to your tracker.

It's all unclear, normally I would indeed just pass the correct token according to platform. Not sure what platform they running, they say their own.

Quote "On our system the {subid} is necesarry"

Would this make more sense?

http://trackinglink.com/adclick.php?subid={clickid}

http://network.com/x/x/xxxxx?cl=xx&cid={clickid}

But they state that subid as paramater is needed :S
However an affiliate that works with them uses &cid={clickid} on their link.

What network is this?

Talk to your AM and ask for a list of tokens for their platform. Post that list here.

In general, your own affiliate link contains tokens from YOUR tracker. While your postback only contains tokens from the network you're running with.

Finally it works hehe xD

Got it like this now:
http://tracking.com/adclick.php?&subid={cid}
http://network.com/x/x/xxxxx?cl=xx&cid={clickid}

Next thing is I need to figure out how to get their pay-out token "amount={am}" to work on my tracker :S

Would I add this to aff link? I have it on the postback. I think CPVlab uses revenue=.

http://tracking.com/adclick.php?revenue={am}&subid={cid}

http://network.com/x/x/xxxxx?cl=xx&?revenue={am}&cid={clickid}
