How do I track conversions using Postback URLs? |
1. | Open your campaign settings by clicking on the “gear” ![]() Next, scroll down to the “Conversion Sensors” section. For reference, the next 3 steps are numbered in this screenshot: ![]() |
|
2. | Make sure that “MGID CONVERSION SENSOR” is set to ON. |
|
3. | For the “Goal Type”, select “POSTBACK”. You will be asked to set a value. Enter this:click_id={click_id} Click “OK”. |
|
4. | In the box where it says “Event name”, enter something unique that relates to this campaign in some way. For example, if you’re selling golf clubs, you might use “golfclubs”. If that’s not unique enough, add some random numbers on the end such as “golfclubs82573”. Use only letters and numbers and be extra careful to not use any spaces in this name. Write down or copy exactly what you just entered in the “Event name” field. You will need this in just a minute when you set up your Custom Postback in ClickMagick. |
|
5. | Double-check all your settings and click the Save button. |
1. | Create a new tracking link and set the Primary URL to the offer you’d like to promote. If you need help with this step, follow the instructions here:

2. | Next, create the Custom Postback using the Custom Postbacks tool in the Tools menu which you can find at the top of any page. In the “Which Link?” drop-down, choose the tracking link that you created in Step 1. Choose Sales as the Conversion Type, and set the Postback URL to: http://a.mgid.com/postback?c=[s1]&r=[amount]&e=youreventname Be sure to replace youreventname with the “Event name” you created a moment ago in MGID. For example, if you used “golfclubs82573”, your link would look like this:http://a.mgid.com/postback?c=[s1]&r=[amount]&e=golfclubs82573 |

3. | Double-check your settings and click on Add Custom Postback button. |

4. | The final step is to taking your tracking link from Step 1 and inserting it into the ad you created in MGID. In other words, instead of having the ad point directly to the product or service that you’re promoting, you would point it to the tracking link you created in Step 1. Also, so that everything works correctly, you need to pass an MGID “click ID” to the tracking link. You do that by adding /{click_id} to the end of tracking link. For example, suppose your tracking link for golf clubs looked like this:http://www.clkmg.com/$username/golfclubs You would then add /{click_id} to the end of it, like this:http://www.clkmg.com/$username/golfclubs/{click_id} When you use your tracking link in MGID, MGID will automatically replace the {click_id} token with a unique value that ClickMagick will send back to MGID in the Custom Postback. |
