Revcontent and tracking widgets

I'm just getting started with Native. I set up my Revcontent account but can't figure out how to track down to widget level. I found this - http://faq.revcontent.com/support/so...get-optimizer-

The article at the link talks about a third party reporting tool. Does this mean I need something like Volumn or Google Analytics to track widgets. Is there a tutorial on how to setup Google Analytics?

Haven't tried tracking using GA

I recommend get a proper tracker like Voluum

You don't need a special tutorial for revcontent, it's like setting up any other traffic source in Voluum.

You need to do 2 things, first find out what the available "traffic tokens" are and then setup the traffic source in voluum : in the top menu of voluum, choose "Trafic Sources" and edit the "advanced setting".

Here is a screenshot with a revcontent setup that you can use :



Now, any campaign that you setup in voluum by using this traffic source, will track the revcontent widgets, because the tokens will be added to the url by voluum when creating the campaign.

Hi thanks,
Other than the advanced setting, do you know if they provide S2S tracking? Or can I just leave the postback url blank and should be ok?

I never use conversion tracking with traffic sources, I feel better when that data is in my tracker only So yes, I keep that field blank for every traffic source I setup.
