My First Campaign and Follow Along (The Mobile Cookbook: The Appetiser) (5)
Hey abz123! Your main problem is zeropark (also popads) is a pop traffic source not a mobile display network so it does not use banners. If you are trying to use banners you are going to want to use go2mobi. You will be able to upload your banners directly to go2mobi.
Hope this helps!

For some odd reason my tracking link keeps referring to Aliexpress (i've sent them an email about this)? I had originally chosen this as my first offer but decided against it a day later as I figured the Mobile cookbook approach would be be a better learning curve for me.

Tstack has answered your question about using banners with pop sources (i.e. you can't
). I'll take a stab at your other questions...
2) This offer has a landing page which directs to the app install through google play store, is it best practice to have a banner have an embedded link when clicked on to that landing page? ex. <a href="http://performance.affiliaxe.com/aff_c?offer_id=blankedout&aff_id=blankedout&file_i d=blankedout&file_id=blankedout" target="_blank"><img src="https://media.go2speed.org/brand/files/affiliaxe_network/blankedout/xxxx" width="256" height="40" border="0" /></a><img src="http://performance.affiliaxe.com/aff_i?offer_id=blankedout&file_id=blankedout&aff_i d=blankedout&file_id=blankedout" width="1" height="1" /> -- I blanked out the ID numbers.
I don't know how you would embed a url in the banner. For go2mobi, for EACH camp you set up, you can upload multiple banners, but only a single destination url. This destination url will probably need to be your aff link (or "Tracking url" as affiliaxe calls it). You can append a token to that aff link so go2mobi will substitute that token with the banner id - or "creative id" as go2mobi calls it - the token is {crid}. Then, go2mobi will know to "tell" affiliaxe which banner is responsible for which click. Next, if you'll paste a go2mobi postback url into affiliaxe, then every time there's a conversion, affiliaxe will "tell" go2mobi "hey, this banner with this crid has converted!" So when you look at go2mobi's stats you'll see which banner has made how many conversions.
Example affiliate link to paste as go2mobi's destination url: http://performance.affiliaxe.com/aff...123456&source=&aff_sub2={crid}
Example go2mobi postback to paste into affiliaxe: http://pb.g2trk.com/pb/?api_key=abcd...xyz0123456789&clickid={aff_sub2}&payout={payout}
Steps to get this link: a)In your go2mobi account click on the "Account" tab, scroll to the bottom and click on "Conversion Tracking", in the popup window copy the link in the blue box.
b)In your affiliaxe account, within your offer description page, go to section "Your Pixels/Postbacks", click on "New Pixel/Postback", select "Postback URL" as "Code Type", paste the go2mobi postback in the box, and replace {clickid} with {aff_sub2} (you can use any subid token here - as long as it matches the one you append to your aff link above).
So all that was for direct-linking from banner to offer page. If you want to add landers - that will make things a bit complicated without using a tracker, and if you want to run different landers.
This is how you'd probably set it up:
-Set up one go2mobi camp for each lander. Upload the same set of banners to each camp.
-As go2mobi destination url, put the url of the respective lander, with the {crid} token at the end.
-Within the lander code, you'll want to read the {crid} value from the url, and pass this value with the outgoing/CTA link, = your affiliate link with the value appended to the end (same as the link after "Example affiliate link to paste as go2mobi's destination url" above.)
-Of course also set up the postback url like in "Example go2mobi postback to paste into affiliaxe" above.
Trust me - having a tracker will make the process much less painful!
3) I went forward because mistakes is learning and in Zeropark all i see is redirects, I figure i did something completely wrong.
I get these are super newb questions, but insightful advice would greatly appreciated.
And as a mod, my whole raison d'être is to answer these newb questions!
So please feel free to ask away - and thanks for starting this follow-along for your benefit as well as that of other newb members!
Looking forward to following your progress!

Since advertisers only pay for conversions made in specific countries they allow, we use a feature called a Geo Enforcement. Only a user from the offer’s country can get access to the offer’s landing page.
In order not to lose the traffic an affiliate sends from a non-allowed country, we redirect users not from the offer’s allowed countries, to a global offer that can convert on these countries.

I would suggest to get a tracker ASAP - it's so much more straight-forward to have a tracker rotating things and passing parameters for you.

THANKS AMY YOU ROCK - I FIGURED THIS ALL OUT I got my banners working and just launched my first campaign, now i play the waiting game super excited and hungry! BTW watched your 30 min video on creating banners, HUGE HELP MANY THANKS!

As tstack has pointed out - this is because zeropark and popads are both pop traffic sources.
Exactly this.
Follow-alongs are set up for this exact purpose - to ask newb questions!
