FB Conversion Pixel Not Firing in Cake (6)

FB Conversion Pixel Not Firing in Cake

See title ^^

Kinda stumped, added it myself manually to cake and got the AM to stick it in also. Any ideas? Sent a few 100 leads to the offer but no joy, fires back to Voluum correctly. Same with desktop and mobile. With adsimilis if that makes any difference.

Anyone else had this issue?

Yes I've had this issue before and it messes up your campaign big time if your objective is to optimize for conversions... It may be something on the advertiser's end... Try to talk to your AM and address this issue although they usually don't understand why it's so important to have it placed correctly.

Btw what piece of code did you try to insert into cake's platform?

I loaded in the standard FB tracking pixel with custom variables (payout etc) from cake entered

As a stopgap, going to stick it on the lander with the EPC from cake set to the payout, should hopefully give FB some meaningful data to optimise with. Did try the script linked to the CTA but im a bit worried about clickloss on mobile

I've had this same issue with cake, numerous times.

Sometimes the advertiser has a postback placed, so it won't work, and some times they have a pixel placed but there's some way they're doing it that doesn't allow cake to fire postbacks.

I've worked with cake trying to sort this out and I've never been able to find a way around it.

I just started using subids and manual tracking for those offers.

same here im having sub ids and having one link every ad im launching. I have the campaign setup outsourced to a worker, who does all the campaign copy & paste for me.

It all comes down to the advertiser and how they have integrated with the affiliate network's Cake platform.

They may be set up for postbacks, or an html/iframe snippet, or both.

The former is ideal for all click tracking systems, the latter for anything that doesn't use server-to-server tracking.

If the advertiser doesn't have Cake's HTML/Iframe code on the conversion page, you're simply out of luck. Note that a lot of advertisers have little incentive to poke a big security hole in their app/system by allowing third parties like affiliates to drop any code they want on their pages.
