FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Got questions? Find the answers below:
Q1: How can i append keywords in the offer URL?
A1: Unlike other feed providers, Media.net’s offer URL only supports one keyword at a time. A common workaround for keyword rotation is to create multiple versions of the same offer, each using a different keyword, and run them under a single campaign.
Q2: What happens if I don’t set up the postback in Media.net?
A2: ClickFlare won’t be able to record conversions or revenue. Make sure the postback is properly added in your Media.net account.
Q3: What should I do if my Media.net conversions aren’t showing up in ClickFlare?
A3: Double-check that:
  • The correct postback URL is added in Media.net
  • The click ID {cf_click_id} is passed correctly in the offer URL
Q4: Can I pass additional data to Media.net?
A4: Yes, you can pass additional data in the offer URL by mapping the parameters you want to send to the available Media.net fields. For example: chnm=country.
