How To Perform The Bot Test And Ensure Parameters/Tokens Are Passed Along To Tracker?

Hello everyone!

So when we run Caurmen's bot test we have the following setup:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function redir(){
window.location.replace('YOURTRACKERURL');
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="setTimeout(redir, 300);">
</body>

How do I make sure that all tokens/parameters go through once the visitor comes from traffic source -> anti bot page -> to the tracker.

How do I make sure that the tokens/parameters survive from the traffic source till the tracker?

Thanks in advance!

Your tracker should handle all that automatically, don't worry.

Using window.location.replace is the equivalent of having the user click on the URL. Assuming you're using the right tracker click URLs on your bot test page and on your traffic source it should all Just Work.

It's not work like that. The flow is: traffic source -> tracker -> bot tester -> offer page. So you don't have to worry about the parameters. They will pass.

But do they pass from Traffic Source > Tracker > Bot Page > Tracker > Landing Page??


Will the above steps work?

Yes, they do pass.

So I tested and it doesn't work.

Traffic Source > Tracker > Bot Page > Tracker > Landing Page

Once the traffic goes through the bot page, the parameters are lost.

Hmm, that shouldn't be happening.

What tracker are you using? Also, can you paste the bot test code including your tracker code (feel free to obfuscate your personalised domain) so that we can check that's all OK?

Hello Caurmen,

I'm using Voluum.

Here's the code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function redir(){
window.location.replace('');
}
</script>
</head>


<body onload="setTimeout(redir, 300);">


As for the tracker code, I'm not using Voluum right now so I don't have it.

it.

Thanks
