What are Sub IDs?

Sub IDs are parameters available for publishers to store tracking information, especially non-unique values. Publishers can use returned tracking information to analyze what leads to more conversions and optimize the performance.

How to use Sub IDs?

Sub IDs should be appended to ACCESSTRADE affiliate links.

For example:

1. Track which property or page leads to conversions

http://click.accesstrade.co.id/adv.php?rk=000000000000&utm_source=facebook (HTML)

http://click.accesstrade.co.id/adv.php?rk=000000000000&utm_source=blog (HTML)

1. Track which kind of affiliate link leads to conversions

http://click.accesstrade.co.id/adv.php?rk=000000000000&utm_medium=banner (HTML)

http://click.accesstrade.co.id/adv.php?rk=000000000000&utm_medium=text (HTML)

“utm_source=xxx” and “utm_medium=xxx” here are Sub IDs. The values of Sub IDs will be stored when affiliate links are clicked and will be returned in conversion report or postback.

How to set Sub IDs in publisher dashboard?

Sub IDs can be appended to affiliate links of custom creatives.

1. Click CUSTOM CREATIVES.
2. Input Landing URL and Creative Name.
3. Click on Advance.
4. Default value is UTM Sub IDs
5. Input Sub IDs. Sub ID values should be URL-encoded and less than 2048 standard alphanumeric characters.

3. Click PENCIL.

1. Click TRACKING URL tab.
