Problems with conversion tracking (5)
Hi,
I'm still a newbie at affiliate marketing and have been testing with HAKA offers (Propeller Ads traffic and of course FunnelFlux for tracking), can you tell I have done the 40 days tutorial of @vortex 
But recently I tried an offer from Zeydoo (finance survey) and also Propeller Ads.
The problem with these new campaigns is that the tracking is not 100%, with HAKA I managed to track the conversions in Propeller Ads so I could do 'the optimizing game'.
But for Zeydoo and the survey I have no clue what to insert as parameters or tokens?
I'm pretty sure I have to fill in some fields here, but no clue what?
Thanx for any advice,
I could just try stuff but then I waste media budget just to get the tracking right and that seems not the way to go. Rather us an 'STM shortcut' 
Maybe @zeno ?
ps: would be really interested in a course about tracking. I read all the info from the 40 days tutorial and get the picture, but there is a big difference between getting it theoretically and doing it yourself (had it working for HAKA because I knew the parameters, no clue for Zeydoo). So dummy course would be really interesting, I bet a lot of newbies would be interested in something like that.
Did you go through this lesson? I see your "thanks" at the bottom https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...o-(Funnelflux)
Or are you trying to set up conversion postback for PropellerAds so conversions would show up on PropellerAds' dashboard? The instructions on how to do that can be found here:

Exactly what do you have in mind?

@s14b23 I plan to add some newbie onboarding stuff soon, I will add "tracking with affiliate networks" and traffic sources to my to-do list. I think some video walkthroughs of how I figure out a few sources/networks might help people a lot, as the concept is the same everywhere once you "get it".
For Zeydoo, you need to add fields for the tracking params they have, like s1, s2, s3 etc. It looks like we don't have a template so I'll add one now.
From a quick Googling, I'd suggest:
1. Create a new offer source. Under data passing, add a field "var" with a value of Traffic Source Campaign
2. Also add a field "ymid" with a value of Hit ID -- http://prntscr.com/26pjjlp
3. In conversion tracking, choose postback URL then use these settings -- http://prntscr.com/26pjlzu
4. When you make an offer, choose this Zeydoo offer source, then for the base URL just put the offer URL as https://whatever.com/link?z=xxxxx -- i.e. just the base link, let the data passing section append the dynamic stuff
Hi Amy,
I understand the 40 days tutorial is as dummy as it gets, but the tracking part remains a bit of mystery.
Have made some adjustements based on @zeno reply and hope it works now. Had like 95 % of of the tracking right (postback and all). Just was a bit in the dark about this one... https://prnt.sc/26pjjlp

1)My approach which I believe will confuse beginners the least: Don't put anything in the "parameters" fields of the tracker when setting up an offer source or traffic source. When adding an offer,
just construct the entire affiliate link yourself and input that into the tracker. https://some-offer-link.com/123456?s1=x&s2=y&s3=z
2)The other way - is the way zeno illustrated above: Put the parameters s1 s2 s3 etc. into the "parameters" fields in the tracker when setting up an offer source or traffic source. Then when adding an offer, just put the "naked" affiliate link without the parameters. https://some-offer-link.com/123456
I understand you're frustrated - tracking IS a confusing subject! Please feel free to ask any further questions.
