Conversion test is required to assure that the postback URL set up on the side of affiliate network is passing the conversions data to BeMob correctly.
If you are promoting offers from the affiliate network we recommend to configure the postback through the affiliate network settings in BeMob. It means that you will need to create or choose an affiliate network from the templates on the side of BeMob and paste the copied URL on the side of affiliate network.
This allows to group offers by particular network and separate direct advertisers or proprietary offers from the offers owned by affiliate network.
Before you perform a conversion test make sure the following steps are done:
- Your affiliate network is added in BeMob.
- The postback URL is specified on the side of affiliate network.
- Click ID settings are configured correctly.
Let's see how all these steps should be covered - the detailed description of each path is provided below.
