p202 pixel not firing

hinduhead · 02-24-2010, 07:49 AM

hey warriors i got some p202 issues...

why does p202 only give 1 of the same pixel, how does it know which campain it came from?

my p202 pixel is not firing at all ive tried testing in my own browser... nothin?

should you always use https pixel or does it matter?

I would recommend using the http pixel unless you have https on your server.

The p202 tracking pixel knows which campaign it is based on subid. I'm not sure how you were testing the pixel, but what the pixel does is track conversions.

To get the pixel working you need to contact your AM and have them place it on your offers. This way when you get a conversion it will automaticall update in proserper (instead of having to update the subid by hand). Occasionally the pixel will miss some conversions so it is still recommended that you update the subid's by hand in addition to the tracking pixel. (The pixel gives you real time tracking which is pretty usefull).

ok i figured out what was going on:

i hadGlobal Post Back URL instead of a pixel url

so the post pack url was not firing i think something to do with subid passing thru

another question ive been wondering is how can you send a bunch of tracking urls all at the exact same pixel, how does it know which one?

I'm fairly certain it tracks based off subid. Each subid is unique based off the link you created in step #7 of setup. This way one pixel url will work for all offers (assuming the subid is correct, which it will be if you use the right link from step #7).
