    How are you tracking the conversions with prosper202? Are you importing data from the CPA network to prosper, or are you doing this via the prosper tracking pixel

      You'll need to do one of three things if you're going to get conversion data in prosper.

      1. Pixel tracking.

      Grab the pixel code from step 8 in prosper' setup tab and paste it into the offer under "testing and tracking." This is the easiest method, but to use it, your network and the advertiser need to support pixel tracking.

      2. Importing subids.

      For this to work, you'll need to pass Prosper's [[subid]] tag in the offer's affiliate link. For networks that use Cake Marketing (Like Envyus), it's usually after "&s1=". Then, in your reports, you'll be able to see which clicks converted, along with the subid number that Prosper assigned them. You'll need to copy those subids and paste them into the Update tab under "import converted subids.

      3. Server to server/Postback tracking.

      My personal favorite. It's more convenient that manually importing subids and more widely supported than image pixels.

      Set up your affiliate link just like you would for importing subids. Then copy the postback URL from step 8 of the setup tab. Paste into "testing and tracking" in the offer. You'll see the specific field where postback URLs go. Also make sure to add your network's subid tag to the end of the postback URL. In Cake Marketing systems, this is usually #s1#. Your stats will then update automatically.

          OK, you're using the postback URL code, not the pixel code. If you use the pixel code, you'll want to paste it in the big field below.

          Prosper's pixel code looks something like this:

          <img height="1" width="1" border="0" style="display: none;" src="http://www.xxxxxxx.com/tracking202/static/gpx.php?amount=" />

          It's this first of the two codes that Prosper gives you on step 8.

          It looks like the offer supports pixels, so you should be good if you go that route

    It sounds like you just have your tracking for your conversions mixed up. Just take a step back and look at the configuration

    if you are with peerfly, there is also a global postback feature which is very neat..

    you only need to setup global postback once, and it works with every offer you promote...

    Luke Peerfly also did a video on Prosper202 setup a while back, you can go ahead google 'luke peerfly prosper202'

    Is the tracking pixel placed on the thank you page (after someone submits the correct info)? The tracking pixel is placed on the page where you want the 'lead' to fire upon after completing a certain amount of pages.

      Some networks have features that allow you to effectively place pixels in the offer's thank you page in a self-serve environment. That's exactly what the OP did here.

      Other networks don't have this option. In these cases, you'll either need to get a hold of your AM and give them the pixel code, or rely on subid tracking. I use subids to track conversions on Clickbank campaigns, for example.
