Sweepstakes affiliate tracker
Connect clicks to leads and approved payouts. Check offer terms, network statuses and costs before judging campaign performance.
Sweepstakes as an affiliate vertical
This page covers sweepstakes campaign analytics, rather than a personal giveaway entry log. Before launch, check offer terms, permitted countries, age restrictions and consent requirements. Ads and landing pages must meet platform rules and applicable law. The tracker measures routes and events; it does not certify the legality of a particular promotion.
Leads, approvals and reversals
Agree with the network on what counts as a lead, when a payout is approved and how rejection or reversal is reported. Configure status mapping and payout currency. A received submission is not yet approved revenue: validation delays can change the report. Reconcile the amount and transaction identifier for an individual event before relying on aggregate conversion counts.
Geography, caps and fallback routes
Use flow conditions to separate permitted countries. Set offer caps and an eligible fallback for when a limit is reached. Splits help compare permitted destinations; changing weights does not guarantee better earnings. A cap controls offer availability inside the flow and does not automatically stop ads in an external advertising account.
Clickid, S2S postbacks and deduplication
Pass {clickid} in the agreed offer parameter and return the same identifier in the postback. Check the next button if a prelander is involved. Use a network preset where available and verify status, payout and transaction parameters against network documentation. Deduplication helps process retries, while separate stages of a lead still need a consistent event and identifier scheme.
Sweepstakes offer tracking and financial reports
Compare clicks, conversions and EPC across offers and sources, taking payout approval into account. Review ROI and costs by source and campaign: costs are not automatically allocated to each offer or flow. For a source without a suitable API, enter a period total or CPC manually. Use consistent dates and currencies, keeping pending submissions distinct from approved results.
Verify one complete conversion chain
Make a test click, inspect source labels and clickid at the destination, then obtain a test event from the network. Verify that its status and payout belong to the intended click. Check transaction identifiers and the receipt log to investigate repeat delivery. Finally, verify the cap and fallback route. Bot filtering helps investigate quality but cannot guarantee valid submissions.
Questions
How can I identify the campaign behind a conversion?
Pass campaign labels in the source URL and clickid to the offer. The clickid returned by the network links the event to the original click and its labels.
How does a lead differ from an approved conversion?
A lead may still require validation. Status and payout depend on network terms; configure their mapping and check updates.
What happens when an offer cap is reached?
The offer becomes unavailable for the affected route. Configure an eligible fallback in advance and test it.
