Popads + Voolum variables problem

[Zygmunt Biela]

Hey

Popads offersa quite big range of variables which I can track. Im using voolum template for popads but somehow it doesn't track correctly.

It shows each variable just like this

Keyword variable is like that. PopAds didn't replace the [keyword] with it keyword which I think is because there was no particular keyword associated triggering the ad. (pops are triggered by javascript not keywords) or the publisher has not added keywords for his website.
Nothing is wrong.

The important variable you should be focused on is website id.

The thing is that it doesn't track any of the variables

what does your campaign URL that you pass over to POPADS look like?

At the end of your URL it should look something like

 

[ATLMARKETER]

try

http://track.XXXXX.XXX/c801949a-XXX...ryid=[CATEGORYID]&country=[COUNTRY]&BID=[BID]

http://track.xxmydomain.com/(RANDOM NUMBERS)?websiteid=[WEBSITEID]&keyword=[KEYWORD]&categoryid=[CATEGORYID]&country=[COUNTRY]&Browser ID=[BROWSERID]&Browser Name=[BROWSERNAME]&Deviece=[DEVICENAME]&OS=[OSID]&Quality=[QUALITY]&[BID]={[BID]}

http://track.xxmydomain.com/(RANDOM NUMBERS)?websiteid=[WEBSITEID]&keyword=[KEYWORD]&categoryid=[CATEGORYID]&country=[COUNTRY]&Browser ID=[BROWSERID]&Browser Name=[BROWSERNAME]&Deviece=[DEVICENAME]&OS=[OSID]&Quality=[QUALITY]&[BID]={[BID]}

Your link has spaces within it.
And your last variable is wrong its supposed to [BID] instead of {[BID]}

 

[Zygmunt Biela]

http://i.imgur.com/3nH6ng2.png no spaces, I should have wrote random_numbers or sth like that.

Could the last variable cause the whole problem that it doesn't track any of the data from variables?

Well, to be honest normally it shouldn't affect other variables but it could be because the rest of link seems fine to me.

The last part of link is the what I noticed incorrect. It should be bid=[BID] just like @ATLMARKETER link.

BTW how are you tracking costs?
Is it on auto or have you set a CPC in Voluum?
Because the [BID] variable is incorrect.

 

[Zygmunt Biela]

It was my test capmaign on popads. I updated the cost manually at the end

I think I might know what's the problem here. As I pasted campaign link from voolum to popads it shows that message

I used bit.ly shortener for voluum campaign link and pasted it in popads URL field. What you think? If yes, then why popads shows me that message?

That means your variables are incorrect.

Why did you shorten your link?
Thats why your were not able track tokens.
Your supposed to use the campaign url as it is, so that when the pop is triggered PopAds can replace the variables with data in the link then only it will show up in your reports in voluum.

 

[Zygmunt Biela]

O man, nobody has spotted a space http://i.imgur.com/ItsjLsl.png betweenin Browser Id and Name.

No more error message on popads. I'll run another test campaing now and gonna keep you updated

 

[newlxx]

In the parameter column, there is space between Browser and ID (BROWSER ID) and Browser and Name (BROWSER NAME). Thats exactly how it will appear in the campaign url, remove those spaces make it Browserid and browsername.


For the cost tracking, parameter should be BID not [BID] and the placeholder should be [BID] not {[BID]}

Thats the correct setup for PopAds.

 

[Zygmunt Biela]

Yep, so I did before your last post. Everything works fine now.
