Hello,
Had a campaign on SS that was tracking conversions. I changed the url and started sending traffic to a country redirection script, now conversions do not seem to be recording on SS at all. Could this script be the issue?
- How exactly do you track conversions?
- Do you pass subids through then use a postback URL?
- Are your subids being passed through?
- Have you tested your URL yourself to watch the http headers and observe the subids being passed?
- Do the subids appear network side?
Hey Zeno,
Conversions on SS are tracked from a global pixel on the network. Sub IDs are being passed through to the network. Tracking with CPV Lab, and conversions are being recorded there vai postback url with sub ids.
Quick note: Targets are not being passed either, however just noticed that there was no method to transfer target from SS click URL To the URL in the Country Redirect script. Either way it seems that SS would still be tracking placement conversions with the pixel..
Did You resolve this issue? I think CPV Lab does not fire SiteScout pixel correctly. I even tried making it an iframe pixel, but no luck.
There is a very good chance it's your geo redirect script. It's hard to say without getting into the nitty gritty of the script itself, but if you're currently tracking with <script> conversion code, you might have better luck with the iframe conversion code. Let me know if that helps.
Regarding the targets and other variables, all of those need to be explicitly handled and passed through by your geo redirect script.
Indeed, iframe was the solution!
Basically, instead of using a simple postback url or simple img pixel from cpvlab on my network, I should be using iframe pixel.
Then, whatever 3rd party pixels I add into my campaign on CPVLab, they will all fire correctly.
Seems that to handle the situation with 3rd party pixels that are script based, I always need to place CPVLab's iframe pixel on the network.
