Found a bad SubID? Exclude it in SourceKnowledge

The buyer adds each bad SubID to a Block list (or Global Block List) — or an Allow list to whitelist only good ones — either one-by-one from the Sub ID Summary dropdown or in bulk via the Tools > Allow & Block Lists interface, and can alternatively bid down/pause a SubID or automate it with Rules.

Tools menu > Allow & Block Lists (create/edit lists and associate them to campaigns); also inline from a campaign’s Sub ID / Channel Summary report via each SubID’s dropdown > "Add to list"; a Global Block List blocks a SubID across every campaign on the account
FAQ

SourceKnowledge tracking token FAQs

What are SourceKnowledge tracking tokens?+

SourceKnowledge tracking tokens are macros the network fills in automatically at click time — like a click ID or publisher ID — that you append as URL parameters on your landing-page link. ValidVisit reads the resolved values to attribute and judge each visit.

Do I need a funnel hop to use these macros?+

No. These are plain URL parameters appended to your destination URL. SourceKnowledge substitutes the real values at click time, so there’s no funnel hop, link rewrite, or extra script required.

Where do I add these macros in SourceKnowledge?+

Add them to your campaign’s destination or tracking URL in SourceKnowledge’s own dashboard. Once clicks arrive with the macros populated, ValidVisit attributes and judges each visit automatically.
