AdMedia keywords and revenue in one report

A keyword on every event

Both postbacks send the keyword in param1, so you can compare keywords on searches, clicks and revenue.

Channel-level revenue

The AdMedia channel returns in param10. ClickFlare uses it to pull revenue and attach it to the right clicks.

Searches vs. clicks

Separate search and click events show where visitors drop off between running a search and clicking an ad.

Setup

Connected in four steps

You need an active AdMedia account, your AdMedia authentication details (AID and Auth), and a ClickFlare account.
  1. Add the AdMedia integration Open Integrations and click Add Integration under RSOC. Pick the AdMedia template, name it, click + Connect Account and enter the account name and your AdMedia authentication details.
  2. Choose a custom conversion Pick the custom conversion for AdMedia data and save. There is no sub ID to select, since AdMedia always uses click_id.
  3. Build the offer URL Use the AdMedia link with your pubid, the keyword in q and your channel ID, then append &click_id={cf_click_id}.
  4. Add search and click postbacks Create search and click custom conversions in ClickFlare. Then add both postbacks in AdMedia, with the keyword in param1 and the channel in param10.
