Display & banner traffic source
Track TrafficJunky with UTMCAP
TrafficJunky is a display & banner traffic source. Below are the macros UTMCAP fills in for it, the tracking URL it builds, and what happens to cost and conversions.
Your tracking URL
This is the URL UTMCAP builds for a TrafficJunky campaign. Yours has your own tracking domain and campaign in place of the example — copy it from the campaign, not from here.
https://track.example.com/spring-sale?sub1={ACLID}&sub2={CampaignID}&sub3={AdID}&sub4={BanID}&sub5={SpotID}&sub6={SiteName}&sub7={SpotName}&sub8={Location}&sub9={Keywords}&sub10={CampaignName}What each macro records
TrafficJunky replaces each macro with the real value when the ad is clicked, and UTMCAP stores it in the matching field — so reports can be grouped by campaign, placement or device.
| Field | What it records | TrafficJunky macro |
|---|---|---|
| sub1 | Click ID | {ACLID} |
| sub2 | Campaign ID | {CampaignID} |
| sub3 | Ad ID | {AdID} |
| sub4 | Banner ID | {BanID} |
| sub5 | Spot ID | {SpotID} |
| sub6 | Site Name | {SiteName} |
| sub7 | Spot Name | {SpotName} |
| sub8 | Location | {Location} |
| sub9 | Keywords | {Keywords} |
| sub10 | Campaign Name | {CampaignName} |
Worth knowing
Pascal case in single braces. {ACLID} is the click id to send back. {BidValue} is the bid, not what a click cost, so cost comes from the API sync instead. The full token list is on the campaign form in your account.
Macros from TrafficJunky’s own documentation.
How conversions get back to TrafficJunky
Postback URL comes from the conversion tracker you create in your TrafficJunky account: paste it with its click id value replaced by {external_id}. Real spend comes from the Integration tab with an API token.
In UTMCAP, {external_id} is TrafficJunky’s own click ID and {payout} is what the conversion paid — they are filled in when each conversion is sent.
Set it up in three steps
- 1. Add TrafficJunky as a traffic source in UTMCAP and choose its template — the macros above are filled in for you.
- 2. Create a campaign with that source, and copy its tracking URL.
- 3. Paste it into TrafficJunky as the ad’s click or destination URL.
Every field of the traffic source form is explained in the traffic sources guide.
