Useful Example

Based on the integration video, below is an example of how your Sedo links should be configured in ClickFlare.

The domain is parked with Sedo, and you plan to send paid traffic to it. Before doing so, it’s important to ensure you’re passing the correct tracking parameters. This not only ensures compliance with Sedo’s policies but also meets the integration requirements for accurate tracking.

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 ad title are all required values.

On the sub-ids, we can pass all the data we want to keep track of the results of our campaigns. These data can be passed using ClickFlare tokens.

These tokens correspond to a specific value specified in the traffic source configuration.

Sedo Postback:

The Sedo postback is optional, but it enables real-time conversion tracking.

Note: Sedo AFD does not provide revenue data for the current day via the API.

Pro Tip!

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.
