Useful Example
Following the integration video, below you may find an example of how your Sedo links should be configured in ClickFlare.
So, we have the following domain sedo-parked.domain
parked on Sedo and we want to drive paid traffic to it. But, before doing so we need to make sure we are passing the right tracking information to it in order to be compliant with Sedo's rules, as well as fulfill the integration requirements.
A properly built offer URL for Sedo should look like this:
https://sedo-parked.domain?sub1={cf_click_id}&sub2={trackingField11}&sub3={trackingField1}|{trackingField2}|{trackingField4}|{trackingField6}&network=outbrain&site={trackingField3}&adtitle={trackingField5}&kw1=best+life+insurance+quote&kw2=find+best+life+insurance+quote&kw3=best+life+insurance+quotes+in+your+area&kw4=life+insurance
As you may notice we are passing the following tracking information through the URL parameters.
Parameter | Token | Description |
sub1 | {cf_click_id} | ClickFlare's Unique click ID |
sub2 | {trackingField11} | Traffic source tracking value |
sub3 | {trackingField1}|{trackingField2}|{trackingField4}|{trackingField6} | Concatenated traffic source tracked values. |
network | {traffic_source} | Name of the traffic source |
site | {trackingField3} | Name of the site |
adtitle | {trackingField5} | Title of the Ad |
According to SEDO's documentation, network name, site and adtitle are all three required values.
On the sub ids, we can pass all the data we want in order to keep track of the results of our campaigns. These data can be passed using ClickFlare tokens.
These tokens correspond each to a specific value specified in the traffic source configuration.
When creating campaign links for Search Arbitrage campaigns, make sure to create separate links for each traffic source you are going to use to send traffic to. By doing so you can make sure each traffic source is passing the right tracking information correctly.
