I am sure this question/s puts me at risk for some "dicks in compromising animations" links but here goes:

Alright, I am trying to setup some FB campaigns and track them via P202, and my fucking head is spinning.

I am lost on keyword tracking, subid tracking, global postback url/pixel, P202 tracking url etc..

The way I *think* I understand it is that:

  1. Choose offer to promote
  2. Get tracking link from offer/network.
  3. Setup details in P202 and provide tracking link
  4. Take P202 generated tracking link and put it in php redirect/cloak
  5. Take postback url/pixel and provide it to network
  6. Link all the ads on FB to your php redirect/cloak script
  7. Update redirect/cloak as neccs. to change offer/cpc/tracking etc...
Right? Wrong? Way off?

What seems to get me the most is the handling of dynamic var's like {subid}. {keyword} etc... Where do I generate them and how do I track them. Do I name each ad in facebook with some kind of tracking ID and pass that data? Or do I just tell P202 to create a dynamic and it does the rest? Does the aff network generate the subid's? I was under the impression you wanted them to have as little data as possible to prevent hijacking of profitable campaigns.

I know this is a wall of text, and I appreciate any time spent in a response whether little or big.

Thanks.
 


I'm actually in the same boat and I'll save you a lot of time-wasting idiocy:

Make a few ads on Facebook. For each ad create a copy in T202 (step 5, "Text Ads"). When you make the ad in T202, go to step 7 ("Get Text Ad code") - put that link into the appropriate field in FB.

Now, because you are going to want to test several different parameters (images, title, body) - open up Excel and create appropriate columns to keep track of everything.

Say you started out with 5 different ads. Change one aspect of them (image, title), use the exact same T202 redirect URL, but where you would normally put {keyword} at the end, put something that lets you know how you changed this ad from the original - e.g. the end would read ?subid=hotgirlpic if you're testing different pics.

It's hella confusing, and maybe there's a better way (anyone), but trust me, it's a lot easier than entering every single fucking ad you create when you want to test 50+ different ones per campaign.

The best thing to do is get organized and come up with a plan of what and how you're going to test all those parameters ahead of time.
