Hi, For some reason, It is just didn't worked for me.

Update: I talked with somebody from this forum and edited the code, I'll test it again to see how it works.
If do you think somethings here is wrong just let me know.

Code:

Thank you so much

Hey Matan! The variables you put in your offer link should be tokens from your affiliate network. This is a link from Mundo Media, correct? If so, you'll need to use their tokens which are &subid1=, &subid2= etc.

I also have another suggestion:

Those variables after your offer link, are what you're passing back to the affiliate network. You may want to give them as little data as possible. Device, model, and city data you really don't need to send to your affiliate network. (Don't confuse this with tracking data - Voluum will automatically track device and model and city and a lot of other data.) Instead I would suggest sending the trafficsource id and the campaign id (this one you've included) so that if an advertiser ever has trouble with your lead quality, they may be able to tell you to stop running a certain traffic source instead of booting you from the offer altogether. And lastly, including the clickid is a must or else conversion data won't get posted back to the tracker when a visitor converts.

For these reasons I would suggest changing your offer link to the following:

http://chlcotrk.com/mt/XXXXXX/&subid1={trafficsource.id}&subid2={campaign.id}&su bid5={clickid}
(Note: This forum displays long links a bit weird - I didn't put any spaces in my link above, so if you see a space just ignore it. If you copy the link and paste it somewhere and delete any spaces.)

Let me know if that doesn't resolve your issue (PM me and I'll take another look.)
