Advertiser Tracking URL

Here is a sample of how the advertiser will give you a tracking URL:

In this, the aff_sub and aff_sub2 are the advertiser parameters, and on the right side of "=", you need to replace them with the relevant Trackier macros.

After adding Trackier's Macro to the URL, it will look like this:

https://trk.domain.com/tdj4r9/click?aff_sub={click_id}&aff_sub2={pub_id}_{source}


Advertiser Impression URL

Here is a sample of how the advertiser will give you an impression URL:

In this, impression_id is the advertiser parameter, and on the right side of "=", you need to replace it with the relevant Trackier macro.

So after adding Trackier's macro to the URL, it will look like this:

Tip:

  • Advertiser Parameter= {Trackier_Macro}

  • Your advertiser will let you know for which parameter they need what value, so confirm with them and use the relevant macro corresponding to their parameter.

  • {click_id} is a mandatory macro in the S2S tracking method.

  • In S2S we send advertisers our click ID and once they get the conversion, they will send it back to us via postback, keeping the same click ID that we had passed them in their tracking link

  • Impression URL and Tracking URL are two different trackings and are set up in two different ways.
