My pixel won’t fire, how can I test my offer?

When an offer is created, its status is set to “Pending”. Pending allows you to test an offer as if it were active without the offer being visible by affiliates. Offers can also be tested when their status is set to “Active”. To find a test link, select the “view advertiser pixel” link next to the Offer Information table when viewing an offer. At the bottom of the Advertiser Tracking Pixel table there is a “Test Link”. When source=testoffer is appended to the click link, browser redirection and geo redirection are disabled. Click the Test Link to test the offer yourself or send the test link to the advertiser to test the offer. After you complete the advertiser’s offer, run a report in your system to make sure that a conversion has been tracked. The test conversion will show up under your affiliate account in the conversion report with the affiliate sub of “testoffer” and affiliate source of “testoffer”. If the test did not generate a conversion in the reports, then the offer or conversion tracking isn’t setup properly. Firebug for Firefox is a great tool to see if conversion tracking pixels were loaded.
