Testing Geotargeting
Sometimes, admin employees or partners may need to test an offer from outside targeted regions. To do so, they can bypass geotargeting rules either by using cookies or by adding a test parameter to their tracking link.
Geotargeting is bypassed for employees of your TUNE platform who are logged in when they click a tracking link. The employee goes directly to the default offer URL.
When an employee triggers a conversion on the offer, the conversion appears as “Employee Test” in the conversion report status message.
To see the effects of geotargeting on your location, load the tracking link in a web browser where you aren’t logged in to TUNE. By doing so, you avoid having an admin employee session cookie in your browser.
Tracking Link Test Mode
Tracking links marked for testing bypass geotargeting rules. To mark a tracking link for testing, add a source parameter with a value of “testoffer” to the tracking link. For example:
