Facebook "Pre-Fetch" Clicks Inflating Stats
Firstly, if you've been running Facebook traffic lately, you may have experienced an increasing level of click inflation.
What happens is the number of clicks tracked in your tracker is WAY higher than what is actually logged in your Facebook account and what Facebook actually charges you.
What is causing this? This page explains it:
Help Center
The good news is that now Thrive automatically filters out all of these non-legitimate "pre-fetched" clicks! Some discrepancy between different platforms will always occur, but there should be no more drastic data inflation going forward.
Browser Language Redirection Rules
It's taken awhile for this one to be deployed, but you can now create redirect rules based on different browser languages.
You can set a rule that covers a specific language overall ("All French"), or you can set the language to redirect only for specific regions.

Flagging Whitelisted/Blacklisted Traffic Source Variables in Tracker
Thrive tracks the performance of custom variables such as keywords, geo-targets, site IDs, publishers, demographics, and much more from your traffic sources, but when you do something with those custom variables on those traffic source, such as blacklisting a particular underperforming keyword or increasing the bid of a well-performing geo target, there isn’t anything you could do to remind yourself in Thrive, until now.
For example, let’s say a custom variable you’re tracking are Adwords Keywords that you’re bidding on. Let’s say Thrive reports that a certain keyword has been performing very poorly on your traffic source.
You then go into your traffic source and blacklist this particular keyword so you don’t bid on it any further going forward. But, when checking stats in Thrive, you would later on forget that you blacklisted that keyword.
Now, we give you the ability to flag this keyword via the Thrive interface so that you will always know this site ID has been blacklisted.
To flag a custom variable, go to the Other Variables section of an individual campaign. Hover over any of your custom variables and click the little flag icon to flag:
The little blue flag icon in the above screenshot would indicate a custom variable that was previously flagged, and you can un-flag it, if you’d like.
Here we have an example of flagging a blacklisted keyword, but you could use these flags for whatever purpose you wanted.

....good service
Want to do less, but make more? Automation is the answer.
You asked, so we took action…
That’s why we developed our own algorithm and launched AI Auto Optimization a couple of weeks ago. Our algorithm utilizes Bayesian statistics, making ThriveTracker a premier AI – Powered Tracking Platform.
This beast of a tool will auto-optimize multiple landing pages and offers in the same campaign rotation with a click of a button. This next- level split testing is provided for all verticals and is done automatically for you. However, you still retain all control - our team built out this feature to be very customizable for you as the client.
We know you still want to have the power to adjust your campaigns. We get it - it’s sometimes tough to relinquish control, but when you do, you have time to focus on more important aspects of your business.
Choose between ROI, CVR, or EPC and let this intelligent feature optimize campaigns based on your needs, and provide results in historical time periods from 6 hours to 7 days.
Want to learn more? Give our site a look. There are videos in there too because, if you’re like me, a little visual learning can go a long way.

Hello All!
With the start of Q4 I want to first wish everyone a successful quarter and ending to the year. It has been an amazing year of growth, tools, and expansion on our end and I hope the same for you.
A couple of things to note during this time of the year:
1. With competition at all-time highs naturally during this time of the year, it is important to ensure you are equipped with the necessary tools. Our Bot Filter has been saving clients all year long, but this quarter it is even more important to utilize this tool to ensure your ad spend is being used to its utmost potential and not wasted.
2. Q4 can be extremely pressing for some. Monitoring campaigns 24/7, swapping creatives like lightning, and switching out offers right and left. Our AI Auto-Optimization is here to save you time, especially during Q4 so you aren't running around like a chicken with your head cut off. Split testing landing pages and offers has never been easier. This tool is free for ALL plans and very customizable for you as the client.
3. I have stressed this in other threads in the past, but I must state it again. Support is crucial in the tracking space. When it comes to adding domains, implementing SSL so you can go live right away, time is of the essence in order to capitalize.
What do you do to prepare and execute your Q4 strategy from the tracking side of your business?
ThriveTracker is here for your tracking needs as you start to compile and test campaigns in prep for the quarter to really get rocking. Feel free to reach out if any questions present.
We wish you the very best during this exciting time of the year!
Cheers,
ThriveTracker Team

Q4 Tips - Preparing For The Ecomm Influx
With consumers scrambling to finish their gift-buying for the holiday season, they’re more primed to click your ads than ever.
But as the experienced media buyer knows, with current consumer attention spans, latency time is LOW. If your campaigns aren’t loading quickly, you can kiss your traffic goodbye.
At ThriveTracker, we’ve achieved some of the fastest redirects worldwide, thanks to our widely distributed infrastructure of 9 AWS data centers that accommodate global traffic. (Compared to others in the industry with 1 or 2). But we couldn’t help but ask - what if we could eliminate redirect time altogether? Is a 0ms “redirect” possible?
Well, thanks to our Landing Page Pixel, in many scenarios the answer is….YES! It’s time to give your campaigns some lightning-fast love (not to mention keep your Adwords and Facebook accounts alive a lot longer!).
