Testing multiple offers and hunting bots (5)

I'm using A Simple Way to Detect Bot Traffic in Voluum method to blacklist bot placements.

I cannot figure it out how to test multiple offers in Voluum and at the same time detect bot placements that's described above.

Any idea how to make this work?

Thanks!

@wakeboarder in order to test multiple offers you need to use flows in Voluum

dthanks, I understand I need to use flows in Voluum to test multiple offers.

But the thing is when I'm using BotJS method I need to change links in my lander to:

http://track.domain.com/click/1 --> botJS
http://track.domain.com/click/2 --> offer 1

I don't know where to put click/3 click/4 ... because this should be done dynamically in Voluum, right?

I also ran into this problem, I think it is not possible to split test multiple offers when using the Voluum multi-offer feature necessary for the bot testing.

There is one way around it, which is to manually split test the offers yourself using JavaScript. So, let's say you have the following offers:

http://track.domain.com/click/1 --> botJS
http://track.domain.com/click/2 --> offer 1
http://track.domain.com/click/3 --> offer 2
http://track.domain.com/click/4 --> offer 3

You want to send 33% of traffic each to offers 1, 2 and 3. You can write some JS to do this like so:

var offerLinks = [
  "http://track.domain.com/click/2",
  "http://track.domain.com/click/3",
  "http://track.domain.com/click/4"
];
function getRandomInt(max) {
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor(max));
}
var offerIdx = getRandomInt(offerLinks.length);
window.TRACKING_URL = offerLinks[offerIdx];

}
var offerIdx = getRandomInt(offerLinks.length);
window.TRACKING_URL = offerLinks[offerIdx];

Now remember to replace your tracking link with window.TRACKING_URL and you should be good to go.
