Step 3. Now you need to choose a conversion tracking pixel. 

AdSupply offers two distinctive conversion tracking options: Pixel tracking and Postback tracking. Within Pixel Tracking, AdSupply offers two types — JavaScript and iFrame. And three levels of tracking: Placement, Campaign, and Advertiser levels. AdSupply’s Postback Tracking — known as server-to-server tracking or S2S — is the most secure and reliable method. It is done without the use of a pixel or cookies — all necessary information is passed back in the URL itself.

Setting up a campaign is not enough to launch it and start receiving traffic. You need to configure the media (the “Create Media” button):

If you wish to target a specific carrier, you will have to prove an IP range.
