Voluum should allow you to place a CPC value for that campaign. Have you set it up?

Also, are you tracking conversions from Clickdealer? Have you placed the postback URL on that offer on Clickdealer?

Try this to set up conversion postback:

1)In Voluum, click on the gear icon in the top-right corner > Setup > copy the link in "Postback URL". It should look similar to this:

http://12abc.voluumtrk2.com/postback...&txid=OPTIONAL

2)Change the link to this:

http://12abc.voluumtrk2.com/postback...payout=#price#

Go to clickdealer, click on your offer > Testing & Tracking tab > paste the link into "Postback URL (Server Pixel):"


For cost update: Propeller does not pass costs back to Voluum (as far as I know). You will need to either manually update the cost yourself, or set up cost-tracking in your campaign settings:

1)In Voluum > click on your campaign > Edit > Cost model - select CPC/CPA/CPM and type the amount

2)In Voluum, right-click on your campaign and select "update cost", then fill out all the information.


Hope that helps!

Do you pay by clicks or by impressions on PropellerAds? If by clicks, then select the CPC mode, if by impressions, then select the CPM mode on Voluum when setting up your campaign.

Now if all your campaigns on PropellerAds are tracked through the same Voluum campaign, which I assume it is the case with you, then estimate an average of what traffic will cost you on PropellerAds per impression or per click and put this amount or Voluum as your CPM or CPC.

In the first couple days, keep adjusting this cost value on your Voluum campaign as you are getting a better picture of what your traffic on PropellerAds actually is costing you.

Thank you vortex and mihailis09
I thought it can auto track cost from Propelerads.I will add manualy average CPM cost from campaigns.
Now its ok ,

Thanks Amy,


I understand Propellerads doesn't pass cost data to Voluum, but

- I see impressions and 1 conversion, but no clicks?
- The offer says "rejected" but I got it to spend, what gives?

Thanks in advance.

As of a couple of months ago, I am pretty sure "cost" can be tracked in volume. Add parameter "cost" and placeholder "{cost}" when editing PropellerAds traffic source. Then make sure all your links are updated with &cost={cost} and campaign is set to automatically track costs.

A small addition to smoochys post.
Although you can now track costs with Propeller Ads cost token I prefer to only use it for SmartCPM bids.
On fixed CPM the costs often are more accurate when you set a fixed CPM in Voluum together with the % of traffic loss for that campaign so that the tracker updates the cost accordingly.
I don't remember if you can set a trafficloss % in Voluum, in Binom I use it for all Pop campaigns where traffic loss is just normal.
