Hit a snag with Voluum and back button redirect (7)

Hit a snag with Voluum and back button redirect

I've been running a back button redirect script on one of my landers which has helped conversions - but made my CTR 200% - This has meant I've quickly gone over the 1 million recorded events on the $99 a month plan.

The problem is, without the script, the lander isn't profitable... and with it, its just not going to work out profitable when I take into account the extra usage data charge.

Another step backwards when I need to be going forwards! Any suggestions I'm all ears...

Only way I see it right now, is running direct...

Ah! lol

Maybe direct link or use redirect to a rev-share offer?

Redirect using your affiliate link instead of Voluum link – no extra clicks, clean stats and you will be able to calculate % of those who converted on back button.

Makes sense, however can i just ask how you go about merging your conversions to find out your true ROI that day - or in fact the placements which did convert (via back button).

Can you use a unique click-id on your normal affiliate link so you can manually add the conversions back into Voluum or?

No you cant because Voluum requires the initial click to come from one of thier links. However a way to get past this is check with your affiliate network how many extra leads you got compared to your voluum for the day, and then go into voluum reports and take any random clickids that DID NOT CONVERT for the amount of extra leads, and simply update them as if they did. It shouldnt be too hard to export a voluum report and select however many clickids you need and then simply paste them as converted ids.

I kinda have this issue as well, especially running pop traffic and some mobile campaigns, in that case you can simply switch some campaigns like this one over to prosper202 which is free and use voluum for only testing purproses. I do however wish robert from voluum would only charge for initial campaign clicks and not for everythign else under the sun
