Post subject: Tracking Inconsistencies - Why?
|
|
This has been happening since I started using Prosper...
Today, Adwords is showing 76 click and Tracking202 is showing several different number depending on what report.
Main Account Overview Report - 66
Analyze > Keywords - 29 Real Clicks
Analyze > Referrers - 28 Real Clicks
Visitors Report - 29 All clicks
Visitors Report - 28 Real clicks
Visitors Report - 1 filtered out click
Where are the rest of the clicks?

Are you on the newest version of prosper202?
On the analzye/visitor screens, is there any FILTERING on?

Tks, Wes.
Did you fix these issues? Do you have release info somewhere in order to tell what's updated/fixed/ etc.?
I haven't updated to the most recent build.

Yes there have been a few changes made, the only real history we have has been posted on the blog for the changes on the updates. The new version is much nicer, especially the layout if you get a chance to use it.
Although I'm not sure if this will fix it, was wondering thought is there any FILTERING on when your viewing your results? with the filtering bar up top?

I just upgraded and the clicks/keywords are still "lost" when i go from the overview report to the analyze.
I'm filtering by campaign and ppc network... similar to the breakdown/filtering on the overview page when it breaks down campaign and then ppc network underneath

Updates would only affect new data, not old data since updates are meant to be from the time of update onward.

But the clicks are in the db not the updated php files right unless the clicks weren't tagged properly in the first place

Correct. I'm not sure why there is such a big difference unless your host was down for some period. Normally, if anything, 202 stats with SHOW ALL CLICKS reflect a greater number than what is listed by Google. Rarely ever below and at such a odd difference.

P202 timezone
is this a landing page setup?

Sorry meant the affiliate network, how many clicks are they showing?
But it depends if its a landing page setup or direct link setup? which kind of setup is this?

Ok thats actually why,
there is a bug on the advanced landing page showing the results in the ANALYZE screen. This is something I need to fix and has been documented.
what the problem is the program we selected the PPC ACCOUNT, and then the CAMPAIGN.
BUT, if the visitor goes to a landing page, and DOES NOT click through an offer, that CLICK was never assigned to a specific campaign (because it diddn't click through on one of the offers)
So on the ANALYZE screen, when we pull a specific account, it won't show correctly. Basically the analyze screen is messed up.
At this time really the only way to 'accurately' analyze the adv landing page data, is to have NOTHING filtered on in the filtering bar,
I know that probably doesn't make any sense, but now it'll show all the data. But (it'll show all the campaigns your running as well).
I need to make a pretty extensive update to get the adv landing page analysis setup, because it program wasn't originally built upon the idea of having rotating offers on the landing pages.
