Is this post back url right? (9)

---

Hi,

This is the post back URL that I copied from Voluum: http://prntscr.com/epxgx8

This is where I pasted it on my offer network: http://prntscr.com/epxetw

This is the post back url I pasted: http://avfky.voluumtrk2.com/postback...&txid=OPTIONAL

Is this the correct setup?

---

You need to replace the tokens in the postback url with those of your aff network.

Which aff network is this? On the same page where you paste the postback url, there should be a list of tokens. Could you please show them?

Also: When adding your aff link to Voluum, did you append the {clickid} token? This is required in order for postback to work.

This is from YepAds.

This is the tokens from YepAds: http://prntscr.com/eq068q

No I didn't edit the {clickid} token on Voluum. I left it like this: http://prntscr.com/eq07u9

Thanks.

OK it looks like your offer link is OK - you're passing the clickid via the s1 parameter.

When passing this clickid via your postback, you need to call the value from the s1 variable as well. YepAds uses CAKE tokens, so your postback should be:

http://avfky.voluumtrk2.com/postback...payout=#price#

Should work. Please let us know if it doesn't and we'll do more troubleshooting.

Thanks Amy,

So I don't need to edit anything on Voluum?

This is the URL on Voluum: http://Trkyfast.com/?a=5194&c=8379&s1={clickid}

Don't I need to place something within "{clickid}"?

Also I'm a bit confused what S1 means. Would you be able to explain it?

Your offer url in voluum looks OK as it is.

s1 is basically just a variable you can use to store and pass any value. In this case you're choosing to use it to pass the clickid. Click id is a string of random numbers/letters that voluum will assign to each visitor. When voluum sends the visitor to the aff network + offer via the offer link http://Trkyfast.com/?a=5194&c=8379&s1={clickid}, it will replace the {clickid} with the random string.

Your aff network would then store this string in its database under "s1". If the visitor converts, the aff network would trigger the postback url:

http://avfky.voluumtrk2.com/postback...payout=#price#

The aff network would replace #s1# with the random string, and #price# with the offer payout. This is effectively the aff network's way of telling voluum "hey! Visitor 12345 has converted and made you $x in revenue!" Voluum will update its stats to reflect this conversion (and it would know all data associated with this visitor because it captured all of this when the visitor first triggered your campaign url at the traffic source - stuff like the country they're from, device+browser+os they're using, etc.).

Note: You could have just as well used s2 or any other sub id to pass the clickid. For example the following links would work just as well:

http://Trkyfast.com/?a=5194&c=8379&s2={clickid}
http://avfky.voluumtrk2.com/postback...payout=#price#

Just make sure you're using the same variable to store and pass the clickid.

Hope that explains it! Feel free to ask for further clarification.

Makes sense!

If you want to get a handle on WTF is going on when you're entering all these parameters, have a read of this:

I've found that understanding the theory behind what should be happening is a massive help when it comes to figuring out what IS happening

Thanks!
