Hey Guys, need some help tracking banners (7)

So right now i`m testing a banner campaign, and i finally see conversions which makes me a very happy camper, based on that i`m trying to optimize my campaign and actually understand what are the banners that caused
those conversions.

The Traffic Source is my own Adserver and the tokens i have there are:
$CAMPAIGN - campaign id
$BANNER - banner id
$DOMAIN - domain id
$DOMAIN_NAME - domain NAME
$ZONE - zone id
$ZONE_NAME - zone name
$GEO - country

thing is how do i use those with CPVLab? so CPV lab tracks some details like BannerID and zone id and so on...

i cant find how to pass those stuff and where to link/add them.

any input is more then welcome

Thanks guys!

P.S: should i pass those details also from my LP->Offer? or only from Traffic Source->CPVLab?

no CPVLab gurus avalible?

You'll need to set those up as Extra Tokens in CPVLab - see the CPVLab tutorial in my signature below.

That should do it - let me know if you have any more problems!

idream,

You can set those token up in the campaign settings as variables.



Name is what you want to see in your CPVLab reports, URL is what will show up in your CPVLab campaign URL, and the parameter is what you want to represent your variables. Be sure to "mask" them so they don't appear obvious to what variables you are passing via the CPVLab campaign URL.

When pasting the generated CPVLab campaign URL into your traffic source, swap out the EDIT parts of the URL with your traffic source tokens according to what they represent and what you have defined in your campaign setting.

i.e.
http://yourcpvlablink.com/base.php?c...d=EDIT&campaig n=$CAMPAIGN&banner=$BANNER&domain=$DOMAIN

Didn't read through your whole post, but overall this advice might be helpful - when traffic source doesn't pass banner IDs, just manually add that token. You will have new tracking link for each banner though.

John Thanks so much for the explanation, i`ve added like you suggested the setup looks like this now:



and the CPVLab campaign link looks like so:

http://MYURL.com/base.php?c=29&key=MYKEY&zone=$ZONE_NAME&campaign=$ CAMPAIGN&banner=$BANNER

but my stats show:



so it simply copies the token but not what it actually passes, and campaign ID/Banner id are empty at all.... any ideas on this subject?

Thanks chief!
