Network not tracking clicks, what am I doing wrong? (8)

Network not tracking clicks, what am I doing wrong?

first I created a campaign on prosper202 adding [[subid]] after the offer URL. when I go to the prosper link, it shows clicks on the network.

then I made a "offer.php" with this code

Code:
<?php
header("Location: http://prosperlink.com");
exit;
?>
when going to offer.php then it redirects me to the offer, it does not show clicks in my network but does show in prosper. going to offer.php from my LP doesn't help either..tried from a proxy, still didn't track the click. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong

thanks!

Not sure a DL p202 url would track properly this way.

But if you just click on the 202 url rather using your offer.php, does it track on the network?

maybe try this

Code:
<?php 
header('Location: http://www.p202.com');
die();
?>
this works when using bevo DL tracking url. but haven't with 202 url

cause when the visitors hover over the links they can see the long messy prosper link. just wanted to find another option, if that doesn't work I can always go back to linking to prosper link..

also when I visit others LPs I don't see them linking straight to prosper so I'm not sure if theres cons to what I'm doing or not

I might have found a solution though, will report back if it works

I think you messed up something

In prosper, go to "Get LP Code"

select your stuff, you will get a JS code for the LP, and a PHP code block for the external page.

That is the code you have to put in your outbound file
