So after about two days of launching my adcenter campaign, and around 58 clicks, I finally got one sale!!

I've probably spent around $30 on the actual PPC advertising (all less than $1 bids) so the profit isn't that great, but nonetheless, it feels great!

Thing is, on tracking202, it won't show which keyword converted. I mean, I know which keyword did because the sale happened today after midnight, and I only see one keyword that occured after midnight on T202, but it fails to recognize the convert.

I remember when setting up T202 and getting the links/codes, it gave me my own personalized URL with tracking, then it gave me the .php code, from which I made a php file, and the line to add in my footer.

I was under the impression that for all the links, I'd send them to the php file, but the insturctions said to replace all my links with the custom link it spit out, instead of the php file.

So am I supposed to use the unique URL it gives me for my links? Or am I supposed to have my links go to mydomain.com/filename.php ?
 


the links on your landing page go to the php redirects. The special link t202 gives you is the one you use to link TO your landing page from your traffic source.
 
Okay, so I have a simple LP, and it spits me these three things:
1. Landing Page Outbound Tracking Affiliate URL
2. Inbound Javascript Landing Page Code
3. Landing Page: Outbound PHP Redirect Code

Now, I've put 2. in my footer, no worries there. I've made the outbound redirect code php file and if I visit mydomain.com/redirect.php it takes me to the offer page, and the url given in 1 also takes me to the offer page.

My question is, on my landing page, when I'm assigning links to images and words, am I supposed to use the URL given in 1, or do I assign them to mydomain.com/redirect.php?

Both end up taking the user to my offer page, but I dunno what's for what. Currently, I've assigned my links to the special URL given in 1, and I have no idea what the php file is used for.
 
How about the pixel code that fires up on merchants landing page after purchase? Have you placed that pixel? Or am I lost in here somehow...? I dunno myself :)

I might be stating the obvious but ... you have updated your converted subids in 202, right?

download the subID report from your network, then import those in the "Update SubIDs" section in your p202 admin

cool, i just did that and now it's showing :D

question: for the month of august report, it gave me 3 subids when I only made 2 sales.. and it's showing an income of $102 on p202 when it should onl be $68.

What does this mean?
 
Congratulations! I made only $24 so far (4 leads).

T202 has a thing called Postback URL. At the last page of Setup. Your network should have a field where you can enter that URL. So when conversion occurs, your network sends a request to this URL. T202 updates stats then. Autopilot!

What's your network BTW?
 
I got my first sale just on this page in very first day!.

You can doing like me if you do not using mydomain.com/filename.php , because mydomain.com/filename.php is cloaking links.

The safe one is using mydomain.com/directories/

That is the good knowledge to who want involved seriously in internet marketing .

Remember to delete the totals row before importing into p202

You made a sale a month ago? You need to change the thread title then and tell all the people that wished you congrats that you are sorry. I came in here to encourage you - now I feel all dirty and cheated.
 
uhh.. i wrote this thread more than a month ago.. dunno why it got bumped again, but thanks for congratulating me.
