To track your performance with a particular advertiser you need to share your img/iframe pixel if you want to use pixel tracking as the primary method to tracking. The tracking pixel can simply be placed on the advertisers thank you page or landing page. As both the image pixel & the IFrame pixel are more or less the same, so based on the different advertiser requirements you can simply share the pixel with the advertiser. We at Trackier support both Iframe pixel tracking & Image pixel tracking.
Important To Note: The image pixel & the IFrame pixel are primarily are used when the partners are directly working with the advertisers & the advertiser is not using a tracking solution. Also, pixel tracking is not used in CPI Campaigns.
What are the different levels of pixel tracking supported by Trackier?
Trackier supports 2 levels of pixel tracking
- Campaign Level: This pixel is valid only for a particular campaign,this pixel tracking is always recommended as is gets very easy to check the Pixel log, in case of an issue.
- Advertiser Level: This is only recommended if the advertiser is not comfortable adding the pixel multiple times.
Important To Note:
- Trackier Pixel is used only for recording the conversions based on the macros that are passed by the advertiser. No other data is being tracked by the pixel.
