Hi there i'm having trouble as well with the post back script stuff... i'm creating an incentive site were people fill in ads a get points then they can exchange the points against differents things, iphones tv girl bags ect.

I right in the process of trying to figure out how i know if the offer has been filled in. and found out about postback... but absolutly no idea how it works. i see bravo75 you've got a ot of experiance in this kind of internet site (as you own a site like what i'm creating) i was wondering if you could give me some help.

I work with incent 2 click affiliate network (all offers are incentive) they have the postback tool but i don't know how to write the script nor how to use post back, if any one could also give me some help that would be great thanks for reading.

Thanks

You have to use a script. There is no way around it. Unless you have the time, patience, massive IQ to track everything manually. Then you have the issue with networks who will not allow incentive sites if they are not ran by industry standard GPT scripts.

A postback is a server to server script where no pixels or javascript or iframes are used as such in the case of standard CPA offers. A postback needs to pass critical information from one server to the next in order to associate a sale or lead with a specific campaign, affiliate and payout. Hence the need for the variables.

As far as programming your own post back...you might want to use 202 or another similar script to help you get your feet off the ground.

This is what the AM at adscend told me when i ask him how to use postbacks...
"Hi,
I am checking with our tech support to see if they can provide me with any advice on where you can look.
Since, we do not offer the tool, an outside source would need to be used with a postback created for that
link format required. The variables our tech will need from you will be campaignID, SiteID, SubID & Payout only.
Each of these will be the numbers you will place in the formatted link (where you see the XXXX's)

adscendmedia.com/click.php?aff=XXXX&camp=XXXX&crt=XXXX&sid=X

I will let you know though as soon as I hear back if tech has a suggestion or can direct you to a good place to look other than googling
how to set up a postback, etc as I mentioned before. The majority of all of our publishers are using the 202 services as some do not allow
the format above, however if they don't we are unable to implement it with our tracking."

i have been trying the past 4 days and still it does not work...
so i decided to hit this forum for help.
i have installed the prosper202 self hosted script on my subdomain.

Thanks in advance,
Regards,

I'm a little confused, where are you getting this script from? It sounds like there is some confused between pixel scripts and subid tracking..
