go2mobi - How do you find out Placement type ? (10)

---

Hi guys,

Im running a campaign on go2mobi, and I'm trying to narrow down traffic that are sending conversions.

In go2mobi, there is a section call "Placement Type" where you can filter traffic to "App & Site", "App Only" or "Site Only"

How do I find out whether the traffic/conversion came from which placement type?

I thought of looking at browsers, I would assume the Android HttpURLConnection would be from an app placement, but then clicking on an ad inside an app could also open the offer from a browser, is that right? so the browser detail cannot be relied on?

Any help is appreciated.

I don't think you can use a Macro to pass Placement Type from Go2Mobi to your tracker. What you can see is Exchange/Placement name and Exchange/Placement ID being passed. Once you drill down to these segments on Voluum you can search them in your campaign settings on Go2Mobi; it shows whether that placement is web or app. In the end you can whitelist the placements you care about and you can discriminate between web and app. Just my 2 cents, hope it helps.

^What alfo said.

Some screenshots to clarify:


(Tokens to add to your tracker.)



(Drilling into "Exchange Placement Name" in Voluum.)


Interesting thing to note here: When you take the placement name from Voluum and search for it in go2mobi's campaign settings, you need to know which exchange the placement is from and specify that exchange name, before you can find that placement:



However, if you drill down into stats within go2mobi, you'll see exactly which exchange and which placement are responsible for the conversions:



Therefore in this case, it may be better to just post conversion data back to go2mobi and view stats on go2mobi instead of optimizing based on tracker data.

Thanks for your answers.

Something must be wrong with my setup. Everything else is tracking properly, but when I drill down to Exchange Placement Name / ID - I get 'unknown' in Voluum. I triple checked my tokens and they are correct.

I see if I can setup posting conversion data back to go2mobi. But I find go2mobi so slow, especially when you're drilling in too deep.

OK let's compare notes...

In Voluum, traffic source settings for go2mobi, make sure you have the last 2 tokens:



AND make sure the checkboxes are checked!

Then, when creating a campaign link for the go2mobi camp, make sure "go2mobi" is selected as the traffic source:



Lastly - and this is what some people have neglected to do - after fixing the tokens, you'll need to save the campaign, copy the updated campaign url, and copy that to your camp url at go2mobi. Your campaign link will now have the new tokens appending to it like so:

http://track.voluumdomain.com/a335959e-d9c7-4581-8071-9bd45a312263?campaign={campaign}&isp={isp}&country ={country}&device_vendor={device_vendor}&device_mo del={device_model}&os={os}&os_version={os_version} &crid={crid}&pln={pln}&plid={plid}&clickid={clickid}

Some people don't realize that after they've added the tokens, that the Voluum campaign url will change to include those tokens. So you'll need to replace your destination url at go2mobi with this updated link.

Hope that helps!

Thank you Amy.

My Destination URL is correct as you've posted.

http://xxxx.voluumtrk2.com/dbe2be8c-755f-4ec0-90e3-4527b6be8xxc?campaign={campaign}&crid={crid}&isp={ isp}&country={country}&device_vendor={device_vendo r}&device_model={device_model}&os={os}&os_version= {os_version}&pln={pln}&plid={plid}&clickid={clickid}

But I the checkboxes for the tokens were not checked in the traffic source setup. THANK YOU. for that. I loaded the default setup from Voluum so I didn't bother checking those, assuming it should all be done.

Onto another issue: My conversions are not being fired back to go2mobi. I think I've setup the postback URL correctly?

Attachment 123123
The postback URL is ( cant see from screenshot ) is:
http://pb.g2trk.com/pb/?api_key=XXXXXXXXAPIKEYXXXXXXXXX&clickid={clickid} &payout={payout}

Do you know what's going on?

For each conversion that happen in Voluum for go2mobi, there's an 'error'

---

Haha - I just answered the exact same question here:

http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...l=1#post283108

Loving the coincidence!

Basically, in your postback, you need to change {clickid} to {externalid}. That should fix it!


Amy

Thanks Amy, I actually saw that post

But if you look at my screenshot, the "external id" placeholder is {clickid} - so shouldn't that be in the URL rather than {externalid} ?

---

Yup! I just checked my own Voluum settings for go2mobi - and I had the same {clickid} in the "external id" placeholder.

The actual clickid will be generated by go2mobi and not Voluum. Therefore we need to tell voluum (in the postback url we paste into it) that an external id (i.e. generated by go2mobi) will be used. THEN, we need to put {clickid} in the "external id" field, so that {clickid} will be the token that's actually added to the end of the voluum campaign url when we create a campaign. This way, when we set up the camp on go2mobi, every time a visitor clicks on our banner, go2mobi will recognize the {clickid} (because this is THEIR token which they've named) and automatically generate a random id to send to voluum. When a click results in a conversion, voluum will tell go2mobi that "hey - clickid xxxxx has converted!"

It's really confusing how voluum has its own tokens and each traffic and aff network has its own tokens, and each party ONLY recognizes their OWN tokens. It's like having to learn several languages so we could "talk" to all these parties.

Thank you Amy.

You were right - I was confused with the {clickid} - I replaced it with {externalid} and now the conversion is being fired back to go2mobi.

As always, thanks again for your help Amy
