Facebook Newbie need some help!

Hi everyone, im a newbie in facebook and have some technical problem maybe you guys can advice me on. I'm doing app install, and have been facing this problem for a very long time. i appreciative any advice you guys give me. thank you

Firstly, i have seen many advertiser on facebook doing direct linking for gaming app install. Lets that this game for example, War and Order. This is the advertisement i have seen on my newsfeed, after clicking on it, it will redirect me to app store to download.

When i tried to do it myself, its totally wrong. Basically i use Facebook power editor to create advertisement. I face some problems at this point.
First, when i tried to direct link the game, " Last empire - War Z" its okay.

This is a redirect issue, it's nothing you're doing. It's your affiliate networks fault

You can overcome it by using a custom tracker. First set the redirect directly to the playstore url. Then when the ad has been generated change the redirect on your custom tracker to the affiliate offer.
