Gain Deeper Campaign Insights Using the SubID Report

This guide helps you understand how to use the SubID report in the Trackier panel’s reporting section to analyze data and optimize campaign performance.

Overview

When running campaigns with multiple publishers, affiliates, media buyers, or traffic sources, it becomes difficult to identify exactly where your traffic and conversions are coming from. This is where the SubID Report becomes extremely valuable.

The SubID Report helps you break down campaign performance at a deeper level by showing which specific sub-publishers, sources, placements, creatives, or traffic channels are generating clicks and conversions.

Instead of only viewing performance at the publisher level, you can analyze data source-by-source and make smarter optimization decisions.

Why is the SubID Report Required?

1. Identify High-Performing Traffic Sources

Not all traffic from a publisher performs equally. A publisher may be sending traffic from multiple sub-sources, such as:

  • Facebook Ads

  • Google Ads

  • Telegram channels

  • Influencer traffic

  • Email campaigns

  • Different websites or apps

Using the SubID Report, you can identify which exact source is generating the best results.

Example

Publisher A sends:

  • 10,000 clicks from Facebook

  • 5,000 clicks from Telegram

  • 2,000 clicks from Email

However:

  • Facebook generates 120 conversions

  • Telegram generates only 5 conversions

  • Email generates 40 conversions

Without the SubID Report, you would only see the publisher’s overall performance and might miss the fact that Telegram traffic is underperforming.

With the report, you can:

  • Scale Facebook traffic

  • Optimize or stop Telegram traffic

  • Increase the budget on profitable sources

There are a lot of other reporting options as well. If you wish to see unique clicks, pending conversions, rejected conversions, CTR, etc., you can choose from this option and have that in your report.

Below is a description of a few important report options:

Campaign: Name of the campaign.

Campaign ID: unique campaign ID.

External offer ID: An external offer ID is available on the other platform; for example, if a campaign has been fetched via API, then it will come with an external offer ID.

On the other hand, you can specify the external offer ID while creating the campaign manually, which might help you group or segregate the data.
