Bing conversion tracking - two months now trying to set it up

It's been officially two months since I tried to implement conversion tracking with the Adcenter.

I must admit I was sloppy for a long time and just kept track of whether the PPC is profitable but with the growing prices of clicks it is ESSENTIAL for me to implement it.

I have gone back and forth with their representatives trying to set it up and it simply does not work.

All the code is where it should be and everything but it still does not record. Now, I have seen people talking about this and proposing some solutions like tracking pixels but I just wanted to consult my fellow warriors before I move on...

Does anybody have any experience with this?

Thanks

    Hi,

    Can you provide more details about the setup of the conversion pixel and conversion process ?

    If the user is redirected to a thank you page after the conversion, you need to specify the the objective type accordingly.

    Did you check if some parameters are added to the thankyou page URL after the conversion ?

    For example, on Instapage, when a conversion occure, an ID is added to the thank you page URL (submission=****).

    So, given my thank you page URL is landingpage.com/thankyou, when a conversion occure, the thank you page URL become landingpage.com/thankyou?submission=******

    That being said, i need to setup my conversion pixel in bing as following :
    • Type of objective : Destination URL

    Then Bing ask you to defined the Destination URL and offer three options :
    • Exact URL
    • URL starting with
    • Regex

    In order for the conversion to be tracked, i need to setup my destination URL as following :
    • URL starting with : landingpage.com/thankyou

    Bing will recognize the any thank you page starting with landingpage.com/thankyou, so any parameter added at the end of the URL will not affect the conversion

    Hope it help and don't hesitate to give us more details so we can help.

    Cheers,
    J

      Ok, I didn't understand most of what you said, but thank you so much for taking the time to help.

      Let me try and provide some more info.

      It's my own Clickbank product so no, nothing is added to the url of the thank you page.

      As I said I did not understand a lot of what you said but basically what happened is that I contacted them and created a goal in their new tracking system and installed the code. onto my website.

      Since then, they asked me to move it around the page itself, like "place it just above head tag" and things like that...none of it worked and the conversion is still not working.

      When I mentioned a pixel I was thinking about alternative solutions, like described here:

      Thanks again

    sorry to hear about your troubles.
    To make things simple:

    1. our software (trackingdesk.com) is integrated with bing - so all their custom parameters, variables, keywords are predefined, in order for our users to easily setup their campaigns and track what's coming.
    2. we are integrated with hasoffers, cake, clickbank, peerfly, maxbounty, linktrust and a few dozens other affiliate technologies and networks, so our users can quickly setup their campaigns and focus on their campaigns, rather than struggling with tracking and technical aspects.

    PM me if you need more info.
