Hey there,
I just started promoting an offer on F5 and I got this error code in my dashboard:
"Your account has been flagged for improper use of the s1 parameter in links. s2 - s5 should be used for unique values while s1 should be used as a grouping identifier."
Ive got this for the offer:
http://f5mtrack.com/?a=xxxxx&c=xxxxx&s1={clickid}
This for my landing page links:
http://xxxxx.voluumtrk.com/click
This for the traffic source:
http://xxxxx.voluumtrk.com/Voluum/xx...xxx-xxxxxxxxx?
This in the F5 dash:
http://xxxxx.voluumtrk2.com/postback...payout=#price#
Should I change the part in red to "s2"?
Thanks for the help! ^_^
Yes - change the part in red to s2.

My understanding is that you should be using s1 as a "non-unique" variable so that you and your affiliate manager have something to "optimize off of". IE if you have 10 campaigns running to the F5 network, you can have 10 different S1 variables that you can refer to when you are working with your AM (or yourself).
Thanks for confirming & clarifying when the s1 parameter would be used - I wasnt sure what they meant by using "s1" as a grouping identifier. :P
