Hello,

I'm just starting with EWA Network and I have several problems with prosper202 tracking software.

I made it work but I have no idea how to track. I'm using Facebook and pof for traffic.

I'm using several ads on pof and on facebook. So there is let me say offer1. For this offer1 I'm using 10 ads.

How should I track ad by ad so I know which ad/targeting is profitable and which is not. I cannot figure out what to put in affiliate url as subid in aff campaigns tab. And then there are too some c1 c2 c3 c4 paramethers.

Thanks in advance

For the subid you can use something like ad1, ad2, ad3, ad4, etc to distinguish between your ads

So it's not declared by affiliate network. Because I was watching some videos of prosper202 and they updating subids from networks.

So I can ignore text below that I can use only [[subid]] and [c1],...? and just put in whatever I want? Do I need to do it on network side too or in prosper202 is enough?

So for every ad I need to make new aff campaign? And where is option to track ads by subid? I can't find it in prosper202, just keywords are option.

Thanks

Hey Wh1sky

IMHO - Don't fck with your subid by using it for keywords or ad copy ID's - that totally defeats the purpose of tracking.

The subid is there for a reason. It's a UNIQUE identifer, telling you what UNIQUE click converted (or didn't), what time, what IP, what country, what keyword etc etc - basically everything you need to know to track & split test. It's a link between Prosper/Tracking202 and your CPA network. If you don't know what the UNIQUE subid is that converted, you can't find out the other data you need. Have I said UNIQUE enough yet?

And as you said above, if you don't have the (unique) subid from your network, like they show in the T202 videos, you will not know which click converted, which makes tracking it totally pointless.

There are numerous ways to track which keywords or ad copy converted in P/T202. You can use the ?T202kw parameter, use the extra S1, S2 etc parameters, or even setup totally different links in 202 by setting up individual ad copy (but I don't recommend that, it's a pain in the a$$ and totally unnecessary).

Whatever you do, don't screw with the subid or you may as well not be tracking at all.

Shout out if any of that needs further clarification.

Cheers

Thank you for answer. I'm a little bit closer. So if I understood you right, you recommend me to use T202kw parameter to track each ad. So I use for each ad unique "keyword" which is just ad identifier.

So in Setup --> Aff Campaigns where I need to put in affiliate URL I just put in normal url without any subid? And just when I generate Link add "keyword/ad identifier"?

Thanks

Yup, that's pretty much right except for the subid part.

So, use the T202kw to put in things like: T202kw=ad1-30-40 (for your Ad1, 30 to 40 year old target etc). Basically put in as much info as you need so you can totally identify both the ad and how you targeted.

For setting up the campaign in P202, if you're using EWA then the end of the URL will look something like this: &SID=[[subid]]

Feel free to catch me on Skype if that's still too confusing and needs further explanation Wh1sky.

I just use subids and MS Excel. Old school still works!
