Airfind revenue with no sub ID to get wrong

No sub ID to choose

Airfind always takes the ClickFlare click ID in click_id, so the integration has no sub ID setting and nothing to mismatch.

Revenue tied to your brand

Pass your 2 to 4 character Airfind brand name in param10 and ClickFlare can pull revenue for the right clicks.

Searches and clicks apart

Separate search and click postbacks show how many visitors searched and how many clicked an ad, with the search term in param1.

Setup

Connected in four steps

You need an active Airfind account, your Airfind API key, your brand name from your account manager, and a ClickFlare account.

  2. Choose a custom conversion Pick the custom conversion for the Airfind data and save. There is no sub ID to select, since Airfind always uses click_id.
