Streams: How to Create Them for Tracking
For effectively managing and directing traffic to CPA offers, streams allow you to customize campaigns and analyze their performance.
Creating a stream is a simple and basic step in using the system. You can create a stream in two ways: through the "My Offers" list or through the "Tools" -> "Streams" section.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Choose a name for your stream.
This name will help you keep track of the statistics and set up filters easily.
It's also recommended to use unique names for streams if you have many different traffic sources or promotional materials.
2. Select the offer you want to promote through your stream.
3. Choose the traffic source where you plan to place the link.
You need at least one traffic source to create a stream.
If you're directing traffic from multiple websites, you can specify each website as a separate traffic source in the system. In future this will allow you to filter the statistics for each traffic source individually. If you're unsure how to create a traffic source, you can find more information here.
4. Select the landing page where users will be directed.
5. Specify a subaccount for your stream.
A subaccount is an additional setting that helps you filter the statistics based on a unique parameter.
