Bing (adCenter) Disapproving ads because of Tracking202?

ckweb · 02-19-2011, 01:37 AM

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Whenever I submit a campaign that uses T202 I get my ads disapproved because of using it. They disapprove my ads and then say:

Reason: Website
URL: redirect.tracking202.com

Thanks for your help.

Well this is the first time I've heard of it happening with Bing, but it has happened with other ad networks. They see a cr#p load of cr#p offers pointing straight to T202.com and BAM, the party is over for everyone not cloaking or at least not having a landing page in between Bing and T202. Think of it as a good thing, not bad, because it weeds out lazy affiliates.

A few things you can do:

Install Prosper202 on your own domain so there is no link to T202.com
Direct your campaign to a lander first, then to T202 for tracking
Direct your campaign link to a PHP re-direct during ad approval, then to your T202 tracking URL once approved

Shout out if any of that needs further explanation. IMHO, option 1 is the only real option if you're serious about tracking PPC/PPV campaigns.

Cheers

Hey Filter, thanks for the response.

Yeah I really don't want to go that route for these particular campaigns. I might end up having to use some tossable domains for that purpose. These are just testers, so I like using generic things whenever possible.

Yes, buy a cheap .info domain for a couple of bucks and self host via prosper202. If you have a decent host, it also loads faster.

This is the first I've heard of this as well, as stated above, just buy a domain and do a simple php redirect

Reason they gave was website and not url this means it has to do something with website's landing page.

I've tried using it on 3 different campaigns and they have all been denied.

Just email them and tell them it's your tracking script.

Yeah, I've been arguing with them through email now. Hopefully I can get this unblocked soon or I'll be buying some crap domains.
