What is conversion tracking?

Conversion tracking connects an ad click to the result it produced. Here's what it is, how it works with pixels and postbacks, and why it's non-negotiable.

Conversion tracking explained

The foundation of optimization

Conversion tracking is the mechanism that connects an ad click to the outcome it produced. Without it you can see clicks and spend but not whether either created value – which means every optimization decision is a guess. With it, each result is attributed back to the source that drove it, so you can act on outcomes instead of vanity metrics.

On FroggyAds you implement tracking with a pixel on your landing page or a server-to-server postback from your tracker, then read conversions down to the source ID. That data feeds SmartCPC so bids follow conversions, while Adscore keeps the underlying traffic real. Set it up before you launch – it's the single most important thing you can do, and it works from $50.
