Wiget Media as a Traffic Source

Wiget Media provides traffic from all GEOs and al countries. You can use this traffic to feed your campaigns that are tracked with Voluum. The following article provides instructions on how to set up tracking of Wiget Media traffic with Voluum.

There are several things required to have before setting up tracking:

Once you have everything, proceed with the rest of the guide.

1. Create an offer element. Read the Add an Offer to Voluum article to learn how to do that.
2. (Optionally) Create a lander element. Read the Add a Lander Element article to learn more.

3. Create a traffic source element. Voluum provides you with the Wiget Media traffic source template, so you can use it and skip most of the manual setup. In order to use this template, perform the following steps:
