So this has been making me rage for the past few days.
I'm testing traffic on this one source, and it's giving me keywords like so in prosper:
instead of the keywords I'm actually bidding on. It seems like they're some unique identifier because every one of those wack keywords only have 1 click. This only happens about 40-50% of the time. Only on this one source, whether I directlink or use a lander.
My setup:
LP rotator ---> LP or directlink
LP rotator code:
To get to the bottom of this, I put in a script that logs some information to the database in the rotator to see what the fuck was going on.
Here's what I got:
So it seems like the random keywords I'm getting are from the referer, some unique identifier from the trafficsource. My rotator seems to pass the correct keywords all the time, and I've scanned this through multiple entries. So prosper must be the one reading the wrong shit, possibly some GET leakage? I'd understand if the GET variable was similar to t202kw, but this shit is wack.
I'm stumped bros, what do?
