Offer -> Ad Network -> Tracker

[kimjohnill]

This is a complete noob question, but I think a lot of people can benefit from responses. All the video tutorials tend to move to fast for me.

I am using:
Clicksmob (Affiliate Network)
Airpush (Ad Network)
Adsbridge (Tracker)

Lets say this is my link:

http://t.mobile.com?a=t&aff_id=9999&o_id=1111

How do I get started on tracking this link?

Sorry if this is super noob, but if someone can explain very basically or if they can lead me to a comprehensive guide for beginners would be nice.

I plan on joining the Dojo once I am able to make a couple of conversions and have the income to do so, but til then...

In basic words: to track conversions you would need to pass variable to Affiliate network's subid from a tracking platform.

I'm not a member of clicksmob network but looking at the variables I can see that you are missing subid on your link.

For example:

http://t.mobile.com?a=t&aff_id=9999&o_id=1111 (where aff_id is your affiliate id, o_id is offer number) we are missing subid variable.
Normally when you get a link from affiliate network you can type in something, like XXX for subid and you'd get full URL.

Then tracking would look like that:
1) From paid traffic source you would pass keyword (or any other parameters that you need to track) to tracking platform
2) From tracking platform you would pass SIBID to affiliate network
