How to handle subids in 202 when the advertiser does NOT want a unique subid passed? (6)

How to handle subids in 202 when the advertiser does NOT want a unique subid passed?

I'm promoting an offer where the advertiser does not want unique subids passed through.

Here's how I set it up in 202, but it's not tracking c properly w/ the 202 and pof pixels. There's something getting lost in translation:

1. in 202 entered the my affiliate url and then put [[c1]] where the [[subid]] would usually go.

2. Then, when I pull my link from 202 to enter in pof, I put an identifier in the c1 variable spot in the link. This is the identifier that gets passed through to the network. (1 c1 variable per campaign "78yroldmalesnocar" or some other made up shit)

3. for the &t202kw= I do my normal subid structire ={age:}-{etc}-{etc}

So I'm seeing the c1 that I pass through on the network side, and I'm seeing the subid on my side in spy view and the analysis tab of 202, but I'm not getting conversions tracked in 202 or PoF.

I'm not able to see exactly which creative got the conversion via pixel and I can't even upload the subids back into prosper to see that way since I'm sending a general ID/campaign.

Thoughts/help? I can draw a diagram of how the flow looks if this is confusing or if you guys just want to see some art in exchange for assistance.


Apparently the advertiser has an optimization side and if you pass a unique sub for each click it will a) overwhelm their system and b) make them unable to optimize your traffic so they will just cut you off if a portion is shit.

There are also higher tiers for quality traffic, etc. so my incentive for obeying the rules is clear as $$$.

well 202 needs the unquie subid....there is no way.....maybe 202 could chime in a say otherwise....but I think you need to pass the subid to get the info to the pixel....

on a side note....you could track this with has-offers.....and just pass the single subid.....

with cpvlab you can prevent the subid from being sent as well....and just hard code the subid you want in the link the network gives you......

thanks. Not really the answer I wanted, it's what I expected though I had a feeling 202 was depending on that unique number. on the CPVlab side, let me make sure I understand before I shell out the bucks for it:

I can have 1 subid going out to the advertiser and still be able to see individual stats, conversions for each LP, incoming creative ids, stuff like that?

If that's the case, and there's no 202 fix without me having to match a bunch of shit by hand, I'll make the switch.

I know exactly the network you are talking about. I told them to fuck off and been running with subids still... i do around 1k daily with them..

makes no sense why they wouldnt provide you an extra variable for subid's...

Are you 100% sure about that? I've been trying to figure out the same thing for Mate1 and it seems like it works for me with t202. The link I pass looks like this:

http://affiliatelink.como4u648503948&subid=[[c1]]_[[c2]]

And when I check Neverblue's reporting, instead of a unique subID, I see only the one subID group I created, "c1value_c2value" (tracked with the correct amount of clicks and conversions for that demo)
