Problem tracking Voluum + Go2Mobi + Appflood

Hi gents,

I have been stuck all day trying to find the solution to this problem but I havent been able to find it, I have read many threads with people seeking for help with similar problems but somehow I havent been able to come up with a solution for my concrete issue.

Im following the Mobile Cookbook (http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...-The-Appetiser), and as we know, in the example they run a campaign with an offer from an affiliate network which uses Cake.

The offer im running is from Appflood, and they use HasOffers, so I need to do a process before inputting my affiliate link @ go2mobi. But also I want to use Voluum, so after a bit of research, i found this:

http://iamattila.com/voluum-tutorial...m-yeahmobi.php

I followed all the steps and set up the campaign both in Voluum and Go2Mobi, made it active and waited a few days so it would spend 70$, then i would start optimizing. After those few days, i open voluum, appflood and Go2Mobi and i find the following:

Appflood: 3 conversions registered

Go2mobi: 0 conversions registered

Voluum: 3 conversions registered and 3 errors.

The conversions:

The errors:

As we can see, the errors are related to the conversions, and seems like the postback link isnt working. So lets see what my links look like:


Voluum:

Inside the campaign settings I have this: Click image for larger version.

The campaign URL is the following: http://2pd3n.voluumtrk.com/752ed0a1-78b1-42be-b2fa-3e669eded0cc?pln={pln}&plid={plid}&crid={crid}&isp ={isp}&uid={uid_deviceid}&country={country}&brand= {device_vendor}&model={device_model}&os={os}&cid={ clickid}

Postback URLs in the setup section: Click image for larger version.

I used the tracking link in "auto" to do the things iAmAttila suggest on his guides for voluum setup, and ended up getting the postback link that we can see there: http://2pd3n.voluumtrk2.com/postback?cid={aff_sub}

Go2mobi: Click image for larger version.

I copied there the "campaign URL" that can be found in voluum inside the campaign settings:

http://2pd3n.voluumtrk.com/752ed0a1-78b1-42be-b2fa-3e669eded0cc?pln={pln}&plid={plid}&crid={crid}&isp ={isp}&uid={uid_deviceid}&country={country}&brand= {device_vendor}&model={device_model}&os={os}&cid={ clickid}

Can anyone see where am I failing? Obviously I messed up something in the links, but im not sure what exactly. I suspect I didnt put the correct link in "Destination URL" in Go2Mobi, but im kinda afraid of randomly putting something different (like the postback URL from voluum) and messing up something.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

you have an incorrect space in the campaign URL, no idea if it's just a typo in this thread or if you have it set up that way in Voluum as well... "&cid={ clickid}" should be "&cid={clickid}"

That would also explain the errors which basically tell you "no clickID found"

Just checked @ Voluum and Go2mobi, the space is non existant there, its just a typo in that message haha, not sure how it got there anyway!

This is what i can see for Go2Mobi in Voluum when I check the traffic source settings btw: Click image for larger version.

I think I might have found the solution, I believe the postback URL @ traffic sources - Go2Mobi in Voluum was wrong, will correct it, run the campaign for a couple days then see if it worked.

Yeah, you have to replace the "REPLACE" thing with your actual API key which can be found under "Account" ==> "Conversion Tracking"

Yes, post what you find.

Like you, I am getting "Postback Sending Error: Unexpected HTTP Response Code: 400" for every conversion I receive & it is driving me crazy. I still *think* all my links are correct but obviously that is not the case... I suspect it is a problem of the different parameters & subIDs of Voluum, CAKE, & Traffic Source in my links not communicating with each other.

Did you fix it? Sorry I didnt reply before, I had to stop doing affiliate marketing for a while, but now I have re-started, fully commiting my time to succeed in it. I didnt fix it, I think it was because when setting the traffic source (go2mobi) in Voluum, i didnt replace the original {clickid} with {externalid} in the Conversion Tracking link (the one you grab in go2mobi and copy in "postback URL" in voluum). I just launched a campaign to test if its correct, will update asap. I hope I get conversions soon so we can know if that fixed the problem
