15 replies
Hey all, this is my first post ever, Ive been lurking around here on and off for about 3 years. Ive tried to many "get rich schemes" from pyramid schemes to something called MCA (motor club of America) and the most I have ever made online was 80 bucks. may not seem like allot but hell it give me hope!
Anyways I've seen the power of CPA and done right can prove most certainly effective.

I am Affiliated with Buzz City and CPA Park for offers and Offervault but My main two are Buzz city and CPA park.
I know that you have to test and find out what works for you.
My primary question would be this:
How do I use tracking with those two specific companies? I've read all the tracking instructions and seems complicated as sh*t to me. maybe I'm not getting something but can someone Give me a tutorial on tracking or SUB id's or whatever you call them?
I just want to track and collect Data
and I don't know how to optimize as much as I googled it on youtube and google it showed up nothing so I figure this would be the best place to ask~

    Ask your affiliate manager how to set it up

    Tracking is the same for all networks.

    You create your own landing page, you send traffic to YOUR landing page and track how many people click to learn more and you ask the vendor of the product you are promoting to add your pixel so you can keep track of conversions!

    You can of course skip the lander and just ask the vendor to post your conversion pixel on his thank you page.

      Yes, this is correct, you will need to check out Tracking202/Prosper202 or CPVLab.

        Hi All,

        I just got CPVLab and still learning how best to use it, watched all of their videos but just want to clarify something. Do you guys recommend using tracking pixel or postback URL? I have an offers that I am marketing to different traffic sources, direct linking. I know I would need to set up a separate campaign for each traffic source.

        1. Do I then submit different tracking pixel on the same offer to affiliate network?

        2. What is best way to use postback url? A specific example would be very helpful. I work with neverblue and peerly mainly so you can use examples with neither one.

        Appreciate any help, there are some other questions but will save for another time.

        Thank you all in advance

        One question about conversion tracking.

        Say you want to try to test out 30 campaigns... would you have to ask all 30 vendors to put a pixel on their thank you page in order to track the conversions??? That seems kinda dumb and retarded .... there must be a better way to track conversions for affiliates....

    I did as what 100K said but with a software called CPVLab. Maybe you will like to check it out.

    Yes, tracking doesn't matter on the CPA network.

    Check something Prosper202 or CPVLab to test things.

    IMO,when it comes to tracking affiliate link redirects, nothing beats a dedicated link tracking script. Creating new redirects is a simple task, and each click is tracked making it easy to refine marketing campaigns.

    I am also using Prosper202, and I really recommend using it, just install it on your server and try playing a little bit with the script and then if you have more questions don't hesitate to ask you AM or here.

    For tracking, I'd recommend prosper202 (Prosper202 Self Hosted Apps), you should be able to find all the info on their page and it should help

    Does anyone know what is the best way to forward your tracking link to a given domain? I've tried this with CPV Lab tracking link but it's not working when I put have it forwarded to a domain name. I use this method so the link looks more professional in some traffic sources I use. Any insights on this would be much appreciated...

    Thank you
