Tracking with multiple advertising pixels

    Hi,

    We want to have various advertisers pushing conversions to one of our campaigns. However, we can only place a single pixel on the conversion page.

    Each of the advertisers will want to track their conversions with their own pixels so how do we do this?

    I'm imagining we need a single iframe pixel of a php page which has all the advertiser's pixels on it. That way the necessary advertiser's pixel can fire when a conversion occurs. ~

    Is this right? Or is it more complicated than that?

    Thanks! :eek:

    Surely your only paying 1 advertiser for each conversion? Therefore you only need 1 advertising pixel on the transactional pages. You just need to dynamically check for the refer's ID and apply the appropriate pixel when rendering.

    That's right - only paying 1 advertiser per conversion.

    How would you dynamically check for the refer's ID?

    I believe the advertiser's pixels already do something similar to this, ie. the conversion pixel only fires when I complete the process through the advertiser's link. Sorry I should have mentioned this.

    So really I just need a system as I originally suggested.

    Thanks!
