Multiple tracking pixels

I was wondering, do any of you have a good way to setup multiple tracking pixels? Here is what I mean, I am currently promoting a CPA offer from maxbounty on adwords and I use tracking 202 to track everything.

I have setup my tracking pixel for tracking 202 in maxbounty and this is working, I am getting my conversions just fine, but how can I trigger the google adwords pixel AND tracking 202 pixel?

we all know what google tracking looks like :

<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
var google_conversion_id = 12345;
var google_conversion_language = "en";
var google_conversion_format = "3";
var google_conversion_color = "ffffff";
var google_conversion_label = "12345";
var google_conversion_value = 0;
if (1.35) {
google_conversion_value = 1.50;
}
/* ]]> */
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="google ad services url dot js">
</script>
<noscript>
<div style="display:inline;">
<img height="1" width="1" style="border-style:none;" alt="" src="google ad services url /12345/? value=1.50&amp;label=12345&amp;guid=ON&amp;script= 0"/>
</div>
</noscript>


and tracking 202 pixel for maxbounty would be something like this :

mydomain SLASH tracking202 SLASH static SLASH gpb.php? subid = #S1#

but how can I get both to fire? Is the only way really to go hackup the code of tracking 202, if yes would anyone have just a little snippet to get me started, I mean I get the idea I think of what would have to be done in the code, but if anyone has already done it, can anyone share?

Thanks in advance, this place is awesome!

ps:sorry about ugly links, you guys know the rules hehe

    Can't you just add both pieces of code?

    The problem with messing with code is that it makes the code harder to trust.

    If it is identical to what they expect, there is no effort in accpeting it.

    If it is somehow custom, it takes more effort to trust the code.

    well of course the ideal is if I can simply place both exactly the way they are meant to be, but this campaigns is with MaxBounty and even asking my affiliate manager how can I place 2 pixels he simply says you can't, only one URL at a time, not even the full adwords tracking code, just a URL pixel. So I THINK the only way is to code up some custom tracking pixel where I can place several, but I was wondering if anyone has a starting point, or some code to get me started.

    thanks

    Ok dug into it a little bit more for you - I don't do CPA but I know my tracking stuff.

    Use a pixel for Adwords
    For Tracking 202 - Maxbounty can do a callback to a URL on your domain

      Thank you for your help Andy, but unless I am understanding this wrong, this comes back to trying to put 2 pixels with maxbounty, which their interface does not permit, plus i asked my aff manager and he said no we can't. But I think I will give it another shot and ask again for him to get my second pixel placed.

      You are correct that adwords gives a pixel url and tracking 202 gives a global postback url, but either way its comes back to placing 2 "pixels"...


      I think I will try and code s SIMPLE hack in the tracking 202 pixel page and then post it here. But again, if anyone has already done this and has it optimized and simplified to the max, feel free to share

    Why would you even need 2 pixels with Maxbounty? You need a single pixel place, this will fire your account on their end and within your tracking 202 system, then just place your adwords pixel.

    What exactly is your end goal? Do you want everything firing through tracking 202? Is the goal to alleviate the need for checking multiple sites for conversions? If it is not, then just place your pixels as normal on your conversion page and everything will fire. We have pages hosting upwards of 15 tracking pixels for sub affiliates without issue.. So, "triggering" your pixels is simple, just place them both in the site code of your conversion page. If you mean something different, then please explain.

    I'm surprised Max Bounty wouldn't help you with this....
