How to use Server To Server Tracking Pixles

Dose anybody know how to use Server to Server tracking pixels in Tracking 202? I'm testing a media buy for Mobile Pin submit ( win an iphone stuff) yet it dose not accept an image Pixel and requires I use S2S tracking. This is what I was told.

"for S2S pixels you need to program a callback function"

any ideas?

Yeah , you need to append the subid token at the end of the prosper postback url.

The token varies from network to network.

What network you running the offer with?

Requires a bunch of php work on your side to create the callback function and passing variables and such. If you are doing a media buy I wouldn't even be using prosper. It also depends on the length of the S2S string and if your network can handle it.

Would you know where I could get that sort of script? I'm tracking it from Banner / to landing page/ to offer. So i need to be able to track all of that.

Am also running into the same issue...I am using prosper202 to promote a few mobile pin submit offers...

Those offers only take a S2S pixel, so I took my postback URL from p202 and added it to those offers...but I don't see the conversions being recorded in p202.

is there some additional scripting I need to do here?

It's easy if you know PHP, you have to ask your media buy network to append a click ID token to your URL, you save that and pass it to your aff network, and then have your aff network call your media buy network's postback URL with that click ID appended when a conversion happens. You also save the prosper202 subid like normal and append that to your prosper202 postback URL.

Edit, sorry, accidentally did the same post twice...

if this is mundo.....the pixels don't fire well.....

but you need to pass the 202 subid to the post back (this is where most people fail) so if you send the subid in 202 to subid1 in mundo you will need to pass subid1 to the 202 postback url

my-202-postback-url.com/gpb.php?amount=&subid=***the subid insert from mundo needs to go here** i think its ##subid1##

thanks Mr. Bacon..that helps.

would it be the same for cpvlab? i.e if the postback url format for cpvlab is http://domain.com/adclick.php, would I just append a ?subid=*** to the end of the cpv lab postback url?

yes there is a varible and for the life of me I can't remember what it is....it should be in the pdf's....but yes that is what needs to be added to the /adclick.php
