Landing Page Link (7)

Hey bachroll,

In the landing page call-to-action you would add the Voluum click URL, usually looks like xxxx.voluumtrk.com/click. This is found in the Settings tab on Voluum.

Let us know if that clarifies or you need more help.

Manu.

It's like Manu posted : the LP needs to use the "general" click url of the tracker, so the "click" url in case of Voluum. You have to use this link in every LP that you plan to use with Voluum.

The next step is to setup the LPs and Offers in voluum : for the LP, use the url of the actual LP, so where the LP is hosted. For offer, use the offer link you will get from affiliate networks.

Then, create a campaign in voluum, pick the LP(s) and offer(s) for it ... voluum will generate a campaing link for you next, which is the link to use at your traffic sources.

When some user loads/clicks the campaign URL, voluum will automatically route them to the LPs and Offers as specified with in the campaign settings.

Thanks to this system, you can actually use the same LPs and offers in various campaigns.

Hope it's more clear now

Except for the tokens, there is one more step to take, you need to append the clickID at the end of your offer urls. This can be different from one network to the next and it will also influence what the postback url looks like.

Instead of writing the same again, let me refer you to an awesome thread from vortex, check points #4 for both cake and hasoffers : https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...by-Step-Voluum

s1={campaign.id}&s2={clickid}

By the way, do I have to add variables to the landing URL? I'm reading that sometimes you have to do that. Thank you.

s2 for a cake network is the right setup, so you should be good.

You don't need to add variables to the LP url itself, unless you plan to do some custom data collection for example - I mean, for a standard affiliate campaign, Voluum can do all the stuff for you and pass any data you need to the affiliate network, for example some placement IDs or banner IDs ... adding specific variables to the LP sounds like a more advanced setup that you're not likely to need now.

Thank you for your help. So if the platform is different from cake I'll have to change those variables on the offer URL. Everything is clear now. I'm going to start a new campaign with a few landing pages and implement everything explained here. I'll post any question I have. Definitely, this is a great place to learn. Thank you.

Yup, every platform uses certain parameters/variables and they are usually different from other platforms ... so you always have to ask them, what parameter you should use to pass the clickID to them, as it has to match their settings.

I'm glad you like it here, there is certainly a lot you can learn here
