Help tracking POF in CPVlab (8)
I've read everything I can find on setting up tracking in CPVlab for POF but I'm still confused about passing tokens and stuff. Right now I just want to track the creative that was clicked on and the age of the user that clicked on it. This is what my CPVlab currently looks like.
So then the end of my campaign URL looks like this:
keyword=&age={age:}
I would like to use the POF ad uploader so when I use that would I check the add sub id box for both the creative name and the click-thru URL?
If there is a different way I should do this let me know. I'm really unsure of what I'm doing and want to make sure I get my tracking set up correctly so that I can actually analyze the data I get.
Thanks
you are just fine here...
couple things, IMO, change &keyword= for &adc= or something more related to what you are tracking (ad copy), also I would change &age= for &a=
Just because CPV LAB will pass &age=32 to your final url.. only 1% will find that fishy... but your choice...
for the creatives you have two choices i think..
Do it manually :
on each ad you input &adc=300x250_001&a={age:}
or Use creatives dynamic token :
&adc={creativeid:}&a={age:}
second version is faster, but you cannot group by creatives, what you can do with new CPVLab, because every creative will have a unique ID.
Thanks. I will give it a shot first thing in the morning.
When you use the {creativeid:} tag is it easy to match the info in CPVlab with the corresponding ad on POF? For example, if CPVlab is reporting that a particular ad is doing poorly, can I easily find that ad in POF and disable it based on the creativeid assigned to it? Hopefully that makes sense.
Yes that's easy. You can search on the main screen
Now I'm having some problems getting my landing page linked up.
I entered the name of my landing page and the landing page url. Which is in http://subdomain.maindomain.com format.
For the offer I entered the link provided by the network and then selected the network that it's from.
It then gives me the different codes. It says to put code 2 before the </body> tag, which I did.
It then says to use this link as the offer link:
<a href="http://mydomain.com/base2.php">Click for Offer</a>
I'm trying to add this link to the sign up now button on my landing page. I removed the "click for offer" text and added everything else. I also tried adding just http://mydomain.base2.php. If I launch my landing page and click on the button it gets a 404 not found or a "failed to load page."
I'm using a WYSIWYG editor for mac if that matters. I'm going to Insert and then clicking on link and then adding the the offer link through there.
I messed around with it a little bit and now if I click the button it loads a blank page with the url: mydomain.com/base2.php. I'm not getting any error messages or anything though...
Got it figured out.
