Ad Serving Based on Pixel Firing - Question

by stevefm
2 replies
Does anyone know of an ad server platform or platform of any kind, that is intelligent enough to load a user specific pixel when a CPA offer is completed (on the thank you page), and then if that user is on the same page again a week or two later, the platform will see they have previously filled in the offer so the platform shows a different offer?

I've looked at three ad servers and one affiliate management platform and none of them seem to offer this.

Help finding a solution would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

    Hi Steve,

    I do not know of any platform or program that does that. However, you can achieve the same result in different ways. You don't have to use pixel firing. There are PHP and javascript programs, and probably others, that will accomplish the task. Keep in mind that many browsers automatically detect java and will not work with it. This is true to the best of my knowledge. So you may want to go with PHP.

    I Googled 'ad rotator scripts' and found something just as an example. There are other solutions you can explore. Here:

    Active server pages - Ad rotator script

    The above link, not mine and no affiliation, will simply serve up a different ad each time a person visits the page. You'll notice the need to upload and install the code. But that is no problem because there are lots of freelance programmers who will set this up for you at a reasonable price.

    Avoid getting stuck on only one approach such as using pixel firing.

    PS - You can also get PHP scripts that detect IP addresses. So your freelance programmer can integrate that with the code found at the link above. The IP is detected and if it's the same, then serve up a different ad.

      Hey Ken,

      Thanks for your answer.

      I am however looking for a different solution. It looks like we may have to code it ourselves.

      We don't want to rotate offers on a thankyou page. We typically have one offer that is converting really well, but once someone completes that offer, we don't want to continue to show them the same offer over and over again. That would be a waste of good traffic and that is what is happening now.

      We have many different front end offers, and usually put the best performing individual offer on all the thankyou pages.

      So, the only way I can see of knowing when someone has completed an offer is to have a conversion pixel that likely attaches itself somehow to a cookie and sticks with the user for each time they visit our offers.

      I do know one company that has this working the way I've described, but it was custom coded. I guess we'll have to do the same unless someone knows of a very unique product that does this?

      Thanks again,

      Steve
