This setting is used to conceal your landing page from the affiliate network. If you do not use any special scripts to replace the referrer, we recommend selecting the Meta Refresh option.

8. Cost type and Number of cost

Specify the cost model you use to buy traffic in the Cost type section. CPC - cost per click. CPM - cost per mille (thousand clicks). CPA - cost per action. The cost of a click will be assigned after conversion. RevShare - the cost model which is calculated as a percentage of a conversion revenue. Choose the Auto option if the cost can be passed from the traffic source automatically.
Set the cost value and currency in the Number of cost section.

9. Traffic loss, %

While working with a traffic source, a certain percentage of traffic can be lost on the way to the tracker. It may vary significantly depending on the country. With PeerClick you can set the traffic loss percentage for each campaign.
Use the following formula to calculate traffic loss: new cpc = cpc / ( 1 - ( losses / 100 ) )

4. Postback Pixel

Postback Pixel is used to track and pass conversions to PeerClick from the website where it is placed. Postback pixel is a piece of code that should be added to a confirmation or a “thank you” page. It is often used by webmasters for conversion tracking on the website.

5. Postback URL

Postback URL lets you pass data on conversions to the traffic source or other services if required. In order to use it, simply paste the URL in the Postback URL field in Additional settings. By default, the Postback URL of the traffic source previously configured and added to the campaign is used.
