Haka.Mobi setting up Bemob (8)

---

Hi folks can u please suggest which parameter should I add?



I'm still learning this stuff.

---

Really mandatory is only to send clickid through keyword parameter.

This is important for the postback.

Better stick with this for now to keep your setup as simple as possible.

Trafficsource ID in aid parameter is also ok but forget about keyword2 and keyword3.

Thanks a lot (I know I'm asking to much these days).

I forgot I was setting up an offer. So should it be like this?
https://aff-haka.com/trclck?hash=XXXXX&pid=XXXXX&aid={trafficSourceId}& keyword={clickId}

I'm not getting why I need to add parameters when taking offers from Haka and I was not doing that when getting them from Mobipiup.

By the way I cliccked in the testing ulr campaign and I see the Offer Captcha correctly. So I suppose it's working. Correct?

It's all fine, don't worry
You used parameters with the Mobipium smartlink as well, otherwise you wouldn't see conversions in the trafficsource.

And that's the main reason to use parameters: To send a unique click ID to the affiliate network so that in case of a conversion that unique click ID can be sent back to the tracker so that you know what triggered the conversion.

Was this when you were following the $1 guide, and not using a tracker?

You actually DID append a parameter - remember the "&tid=[IMPRESSIONID]"?

There's a comprehensive lesson on how tracking works, in the 40-day tutorial.


Depends on whether you're from a country that is accepted by the offer, using a device that is accepted by the offer, connected through wifi/carrier that is accepted by the offer...you get the idea.

If you're running a carrier billing offer and you're not using that particular mobile carrier, it would require subscribing to some special service (e.g. Adplexity carrier) or asking someone who DOES have a data plan with that carrier to browse to the link and take screenshots and send them to you (e.g. someone on Fiverr). I wouldn't normally go through that type of trouble - I'd just skip the test and assume the set up is working.

After the campaign goes live and you start getting traffic, you can check the stats on your affiliate network dashboard - if you see impressions listed for the offer you're running, you know visitors are being sent to the right offer.

If I'm not wrong, when using single offers from Mobipium, the parameters are passed automatically by the tracker since Bemob has some prebuild templates. I think this is why it was not necessary to add tokens. Am I wrong?

---

That depends. I've never used Bemob, so can't really tell you.

One thing is for sure though: If you're wanting to have some way of optimizing a campaign, the clickID (or whatever Bemob may call it) NEEDS to be appended to the offer link. This is the token that identifies each visitor/impression. Without it, you won't know which impression/visitor made a conversion (and therefore, you won't know which placement they came from, which device they were using, whether they were on wifi/carrier at the time, etc. etc. etc. - all the data you're wanting to collect by using a tracker in the first place).

And every affiliate network has different tracking tokens. (Some networks use the same tokens because they all use CAKE or whatever, and then some networks use their own custom tracking platform.)

So - if Bemob has a prebuilt template for Mobipium, maybe that was enough. Key is that the tracking token must be appended to the affiliate link - whether the tracker does it or yourself.

It doesn´t matter if you use a prebuild template of your tracker or if you add a network manually, you still use the tokens

One tip, even when a tracker offers templates for CPA networks and trafficsources I would still check everything because it happens that the templates are not working correctly.

Can be that the tokens are outdated or whatever but I would never blindly trust the templates, I always setup everything manually to be sure it´s working.

Of course it´s mandatory to understand the whole setup with tracking links and stuff but there´s no way around learning it anyway.

And it´s really annoying when you use a template, start running campaigns and then notice that somewhere in your funnel there´s something going wrong.

As a rule of thumb you can say that you always should send your trackers click ID to the CPA network and through postback back to your tracker.

That´s the most basic setup to be able to optimize campaigns.
