Just saw it mentioned briefly in the video. From what I can tell, CPAempire seems to work just fine. I haven't tried cloaking with any others.

MaxBounty, was the one I was having issues with. For all offers, wouldn't show the offer if came from cloaked.

Interesting,

I just tried again today with MaxBounty on an offer and it worked.

I'm still having problems with MaxBounty links...

I've tried several offers and I keep getting a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable..

Is that on their end?

Should work with MAxBounty, how is your URL entered into T202?

It should be formatted like this SUBIDS.COM

I have it like I have it in subids.com

http://www.mb01.com/lnk.asp?o=1347&c=18995&a=18296&s1=

I'll do more investigating with it... is there anything I should be aware of though?

That looks correct, maybe it'd be best to forward the link to your Affiliate manager, so I assume T202 is putting a subid at the end of your link like this:

http://www.mb01.com/lnk.asp?o=1347&c=18995&a=18296&s1=XXXXXXX

it should work, i think you have it correct.

Sorry for bringing up old topic.

But I'm wondering why I also get 503 error when trying to cloack copeac offer.

i do it like the one at subids.com

http://www.cpaclicks.com/redirect.asp?a=601&b=2279&d=0&l=0&p=0&o=

but i wonder if i could use this format :

http://www.cpaclicks.com/redirect.asp?a=601&b=2279&d=0&l=0&o=&p=0&SubID1=

?

either or should work, copeac might have changed it,

a 503 error when trying to cloak a copeac offer?

Are u using prosper202? which version are you on?

yep. 503 error with cloak on.

tried 2 different offer with the same result.

any idea why? :)

I'm using Prosper202 1.1.0

I seem to have no problem with it:

http://redirect.tracking202.com/dl/7215048?t202kw=

It could be on your hosts' settings, maybe try this?

thx a lot Wes!!

adding SecFilterEngine Off in my htaccess fixed my problem.

thx again for your assistance.

i tried searching the forum using 503 but didn't try 500 :P

glad it worked! someone else found the fix.

also to add to the tittle

CJ commission junction will penalize you for sending cloaked traffic.

My direct links are working correctly for this offer.

But, I'm having issues with Maxbounty and cloaked redirects. I'm using the outbound redirect code, such as - mysite.com/redirect.php

The results will be

maxbounty.com/error.htm

"We're sorry, but we are unable to process your request because the link you have used is invalid."

Again, the direct link works, so the format is correct.

Yes I believe maxBounty is one of the networks that like to error when trying to cloak the redirects. What is the FINAL OUTBOUND URL that prosper202 redirects to? you can see this by highlighting your mouse voer the last blue button in the spy view.

Thanks for the tip.

Hmmmm... it seems to be appending to the end of the link.

http://www.mb01.com/lnk.asp?o=xxxx&c=xxxxxx&a=xxxxxxx

Where a= should be 5 digits in my case, it is now 7. Two additional digits are being tagged on to the end of my affiliate id.

EDIT - On further testing, it seems as though the appended digits are incremental. It appears as though each additional click is added to the end of the affiliate id.

The last two test clicks registered a=xxxxx49 and a=xxxxx50 respectively, which happens to be the total tracked clicks for this offer.

Any suggestions?

There lies your problem. The 202 Tracking system automatically appends subids by default so that you can track each and every single click uniquely. As a result, you must enter a subid syntax (unique to every network). The one max bounty uses is as follows:

http://www.mb01.com/lnk.asp?o=####&c=#####&a=#####&s1=

The missing syntax from your affiliate link is the &s= at the end.

For more examples, refer to SubIDs202

Yes! Thanks!

I just came back to say I figured it out.

I didn't realize that the subid syntax was required.

Since I was just testing the system I hadn't added one yet.

All is well now. Thanks for the assistance.

One final question.

Won't this create a ridiculously long subid report since each click is effectively a unique subid? Or am I missing something here?

You should only be downloading ACTION ONLY or CONVERTED SubIDs. Some networks will show ALL SubIDs and that's not what we want. If you're getting a massive number of leads then naturally you will get a massive number of ACTION ONLY or CONVERTED SubIDs. 1 lead = 1 subid. The other alternative to updating the SubIDs into the 202 system if you didn't want to manually upload SubIDs all the time would be to use the pixel tracking available IF the network supports pixel tracking. Then leads would automatically update and you can ignore the updating SubIDs portion (although the subid syntax should still be there). Hope that helps.

That makes sense. I guess I had never considered the necessity for unique subId per click. Without them, and in lieu of a callback pixel, we couldn't track conversions. Had a "duh" moment, but I think I've got it now. ;-)

Thanks for the assistance.
