The self hosted version. It is hard to find a simple page on their site that just says what it does.

I watched the initial video and it looks like you just load it up with your offers and ads and it gives you masked links to help you track your ads. But does it actually talk to adwords/fb/etc to import your information? Unless it did why would I just not get more accurate information by signing into each network? That is the only way I am going to find out the real data.

Thanks.
 


How can you be a member here since 2007 and still have a question like this?


1, RTFM
2, start using p202
3, if you still have questions THEN ask them here or on the prosper forum.
 
Thanks. I have been RTFM. I may have to just DL and install it like you said to see if it can do what I hope it does. I just hope I am not entering everything twice.
 
Got it set up and added a simple campaign. Looks like this is better for single offers vs product websites. Any of you using it to track 1000-2000 products you added to your site?
 
202 is for tracking click data. You use it to simplify the metrics -- how many clicks you're getting, where they're coming from, the CTR of landing pages, the conversion rate, stuff like that.

If you have a website where you're selling products, you're probably better off with Google Analytics, because 202 is more for people who are creating ads on advertising sites. Wouldn't make a lot of sense to track the stuff on your own website.
 
Thanks. What I meant to say was that I have products on my site, but they are all affiliate products. Not sure how I'd use P202 to track all of those.

Also - How does it know the CTR? I am running ads on adwords. It can't know the CTR if it does not know the number of impressions. Only Google has the number of impressions. Same thing with FB. That is where I am getting lost.
