Did you setup the cost in Voluum?
You have to put it there manually for Push Ads.
From what I see on your screenshot you run Push on CPM.
The {cost} token only works for Pops and there is no way that your tracker knows how many impressions you received, the tracker only knows about the traffic that actually landed there = the clicks.
In Propeller there are 19 clicks shown, in Voluum there are 34 visits so the number of visits shown in Voluum is already higher the the clicks on Propeller.
Did you direct link or did you use a lander?

To go little bit more into details:
Traffic cost can´t be tracked because Propellers {cost} token only works for Pops.
You could set a CPC in Voluum but it won´t help since you are running Pops on CPM so you need to adjust the traffic cost manually.

About the traffic numbers:
The 20,631 impressions are in Propeller, these is the number how often your Push Ad was shown.
Voluum can´t know these numbers so forget about it regarding your tracker.
The 19 clicks are the users who clicked your Push Ad and went through your Voluum link on your landing page.
Why there are more visits shown in Voluum than clicks in Propeller Ads is something I can´t tell you, maybe Propeller stats will update later or so.
Anyway, you say you use landers but in Voluum there are no clicks from your landers to the CPA network, that´s why you can´t see any of the clicks in Mobidea or Clickdealer.

AHHHHHH okay. Now that makes sense. frick it feels so good to figure something out you have been itching to recover.

Now I still do have some questions to make me understand better.

1)So about the impressions. It does not matter which tracker i use it wont show up?

2)What are the Visits then? They are the page the user goes to when he opens my push ad?

3) And the conversions should also pop up on Voluum though right?

You are a big help! and yea know i see the clicks in clickdealer.

Thanks alot!

1)So about the impressions. It does not matter which tracker i use it wont show up?
Some trackers have impression tracking, but for it to work, the traffic source has to support it too ... its quite rare for anyone to use it actually.

2)What are the Visits then? They are the page the user goes to when he opens my push ad?
In Voluum, a visit is counted every time the campaign url is loaded/opened ... so anytime a traffic source sends you some kind of visit/click/hit ... can be a POP, banner click or ...

3) And the conversions should also pop up on Voluum though right?
They will ... in case you've setup the postback correctly with your affiliate network. Did you do that?

And thank you I just wanted to see exaxtly what a visit meant im glad i got that cleared up for future reference
