GeoSpot Media as a Traffic source


The following document describes how to track GeoSpot Media traffic with Voluum.

I. Create a campaign in Voluum

A. (Optionally) Create an affiliate network element. Read the Add an Affiliate Network to Voluum article to learn how to do that.

B. Create an offer element. Read the Add an Offer to Voluum article to learn how to do that.

C. (Optionally) Create a lander element. Read the Add a Lander Element article to learn more.

D. Create a traffic source element. Voluum provides you with the GeoSpot Media traffic source template, so you can use it and skip most of the manual setup. In order to use this template, perform the following steps:

  1. In Voluum, go to Traffic sources.
  2. Click the Create button and select the Traffic source option from the drop-down menu.

  3. Select the GeoSpot Media template from the list of available templates.
  4. Click the Next button. The New traffic source form will appear.

  5. You can change or adjust any option in the New traffic source form. Once you have done so, click the Save button.

E. Create a campaign

In Voluum, go to Campaigns, click the Create button and select the Campaign Simple or Campaign Advanced option from the drop-down menu.

  1. In the New campaign form, select the GeoSpot Media traffic source that you have just created from the Traffic source drop-down menu.
  2. Provide a name for the campaign in the Campaign name text field.
  3. (Optionally) Set cost tracking.
  4. (Optionally) Select a lander you have previously created from the Landers drop-down menu.
  5. Select an offer that you have just created from the Offers drop-down menu.
  6. Click the Save button.

  7. Click the Copy button next to the campaign URL to copy it to the clipboard and paste it to any text editing tool.

  8. Click the Done button.

II. Create a campaign in GeoSpot Media

  1. In GeoSpot Media, click the Create new campaign button.

  2. Set all required and optional options in the Information, Budget and Targeting views.
  3. In the Creatives view, paste the campaign URL from Voluum in the Click URL text field.
  4. Upload creatives.
  5. Click the Save campaign button.

III. (Optional) Set up a postback URL

Do this if you want to pass conversion info back to GeoSpot Media. The postback template for passing conversions from Voluum is set in GeoSpot Media's traffic source template. The only thing to do is to grab your API key from GeoSpot Media and paste it to the postback.

  1. In GeoSpot Media, click the Help & Support.

  2. Copy the API key.

  3. In Voluum, edit the GeoSpot Media traffic source.
  4. Replace the api_key value in the postback template marked as REPLACE with the copied value. Your original postback should look like this: https://api-events.eventstracker.io/v1/ev?tp=direct&api_key=REPLACE&app_event=install&can_claim=1&view_through=0&bid_id={externalid}

    Your edited postback should look like this: https://api-events.eventstracker.io/v1/ev?tp=direct&api_key=2b76fbf8f6c817817d04f0c2a3ec8579c0782ee7&app_event=install&can_claim=1&view_through=0&bid_id={externalid}
