As an affiliate marketer you need to always track your ad campaigns. By tracking your campaigns you can see which ones are profitable and which ones are not. This will help you to focus your time and money on the campaigns that are making you money. In this blog we have listed suggestions about Postback Tracking.
When you work with a CPA network as an advertiser, affiliate, or a media buyer you’ll need a tracking method called S2S Postback.
What is a S2S postback and how to track conversions?
S2S (Server to Server) Postback conversion tracking passes information between an affiliate network, tracking platform and a traffic source. To get your conversion visible in SunAdNetwork statistics, you have to correctly set up the Transaction ID transfer.
With server to server (S2S) Postback tracking, a unique transaction ID or click ID is generated by the platform on the initial click, and this unique ID is passed on from one page to another, until the conversion page, where the same ID is passed back to the merchant or tracking system to record the referrer and other details of the conversion.
And you may wonder, what’s the point? All this is needed for the main thing – advertising costs optimization. Many advertisers and affiliate marketers use tracking platforms to compare ad campaigns by the number of impressions, clicks, and conversions.
Adding our postback and click id, you can track conversions on SunAdNetwork statistics and optimize campaigns without opening your tracker. This is much more convenient, isn’t it?
