Ok.. I am running a category targeted campaign and am getting tons of conversions at like a 10% roi. Since those corporate assholes dont let you use the target_passthrough to track placements.. is there another way?

Right now I am using this (php noob) and it doesnt work.

<?php
$sub = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
header("Location: http://affiliatelink.com/?subid=mt-$sub");

Any good code to figure out which placements they're placing me at? :D

prosper will usually show you the referral domain.

Not that simple. The ad network's "assets" are the sites registered with them, they obviously are going to do their best to cover up the referral URL, so you don't skip over them and go direct.
 
I don't have much experience with media buys, but I did once run with a small ad network. The way they did it was assign each of their sites an ID #, which would pass as the subid to my LP/Aff link. After a week, I let them know which ID's I wanted to keep running on; obviously the ones that converting the best (positive). They didn't disclose any of the sites, but at the same time I was able to optimize my campaign.

I havent done any media buys yet... when I say MediaTraffic, Im referring to the PPV network.

Wow that does suck incredibly hard :|

So you're forced to use their ROI tracking if you want to track those?

Yea... their ROI pixel wont track the target urls on category campaigns either. Which is gay, because it would be really nice to have them do the heavy lifting... then pluck converters into their own adgroups.
 
I'm interested to know this as well. When I e-mailed Fahad about my category targets all I got back was "the target list is managed and optimized by us."

I have to imagine there is a way to grab this info. Wish I could help, but my PHP skills are also quite noobish.

No shit :S

I had a RON campaign that did ok on another network and I thought it may do good on MediaTraffic, but this means I won't be able to try it.. Ah well :)
