I messed up somewhere!

Hi all, It's been a pleasure joining stm.

I was going through the $1 guide and have been following the steps as exactly as provided.

First i couldn't able to select top geo's provided by my AM. As Popads doesn't allow to select geo's like US,CA for some reason.

and after pulling up the report my conversions are showing Zero whereas in Mobipium it's showing 88.

Mobipium: https://prnt.sc/vpl3ng

Popads: https://prnt.sc/vpl55d

Please advice!

Welcome to STM ashwin!

There should be something wrong in the postback setup.

Post in reply to this thread your campaign URL as well as the postback url you have on Mobipium. This way we should be able to see what’s missing and advise the correct setup.

Yup, definitely a postback problem.

As Popads doesn't allow to select geo's like US,CA for some reason.
It's definitely possible to select GEOs in PopAds and in pretty much all the traffic sources that exists, it's kinda the most basic targeting setting that any traffic network MUST have.

Sure,

Here is the campaign URL : https://4553223.catchtheclick.com/?m...8N3uVaD42x5zHg

Postback URL i've set up in Mobipium: http://serve.popads.net/cpixel.php?s2s=1&aid=a567fdc866fcc2ec3b12fe3c781e2 e2b&id={tid}&value={pay}

That´s really strange.

Anyway, the only people who can help you with it is Popads.

Best would be when you ask their support about the reasons for the restrictions.

We could only speculate about it

And btw, HERE is a short tutorial how to insert images in posts, then it´s much easier to read

So sorry to hear about the geo restrictions! I personally don't see any of that in my account. Thanks for reporting this!

Let me ask PopAd's owner and get back to you on this.

Regarding lack of conversions - let's do some troubleshooting! Can you please show me the following:

1)The postback link copied from your PopAds account.

2)The MODIFIED postback link you inserted into Mobipium.

Also: Please verify you've inserted the tracker parameters as follows (in Mobipium under the postback link):



Also, just a heads up: Mobipium's push notification offers don't work for IOS anymore, so only target Android+Chrome on mobile, or desktop+chrome.

Hi Amy,

Thanks so much! Forgot to ask for one more piece of information: What's the destination/target url you pasted into PopAds when setting up the campaign?


Also: Please verify you've inserted the tracker parameters as follows (in Mobipium under the postback link):
And have you verified this please?

@ashwin: Here's what I found out regarding the geo restrictions:



I've asked for this restriction to be removed from your account and got a yes. Can you please PM me the email of your PopAds account? Then please update this thread to let me know to check for your PM.



Amy


11-25-2020 04:38 PM #11 ashwin (Member)

Yeah, I have double verified the tracker parameters under the postback link.

Here's the destination/target URL: https://4553223.catchtheclick.com/?mob=7B5jXCtotoHFWAphsb3k9twLM5GuFgylvqdJFcbBVwJeN oLvIPFc9UQ3pcGoTw_YwHAfnxOf8N3uVaD42x5zHg

Well there's the problem!

You forgot to add the [IMPRESSIONID] variable at the end!

Please go over the guide again.

Let me know if it doesn't resolve the issue - but it should!

By the way I heard back - your geo restriction has been removed. Please let me know if you experience further issues!
