  5. Add a new Pixel for your affiliates.

    Some of the publishers require a conversion tag (, or pixel) , to be placed in specific conversion points on your site (for . For example CPA campaigns or when you work and working with blind networks )often require it. Using The SharePoint Marketing Suite pixel support, you can define the conversion tag or the pixel you want the Marketing Suite to use when a certain goal is completed.

    Use [KEY] and [Random] to define dynamic property and cache buster
    Some of the publishers rely on cookies, while others rely on data passed to the advertiser when they redirect visitors to the landing page. If your publishers use the second method (passing dynamic data to the landing page), please instruct them to send the information they want to receive in a parameter called "CDP" (for example, the URL of the landing page will look like this: http://yourtinyurldomainyourshorturldomain.com/sf23SAv?CDP=12345). Now, all you have to do is create the pixel and use the placeholder [KEY] to define where you want us to place the value we obtained (12345). For example: http://publisherdomain.com/pixel.php?value=[KEY] - that way, when we initiate a pixel call, we will replace [KEY] with the relevant value for that specific visitor.
    Use the [Random] placeholder to add a cache buster parameter to the pixel in case the publisher requests it. For example, http://publisherdomain.com/pixel.php?value=[KEY]&r=[Random]. The [Random] placeholder will be replaced with a random number to avoid caching issues on the visitor browser or CDN.
