TradeDoubler Conversion Tracking Tag Setup Guide
This article describes how to set up the TradeDoubler Conversion Tracking tag in your Tealium iQ Tag Management account.
Migrating from the legacy Trackback tag
The Trackback Tag is now deprecated in favor of the new Conversion Tracking version and no longer offered in the tag marketplace. Be sure to deactivate any Trackback Tag instances before adding the new Conversion Tracking Tag.
Tag configuration
Go to the tag marketplace to add a new tag. For more information, see About tags.
After adding the tag, configure the following settings:
-
Tag Type: (Required) Choose the type of tag you want to load.
Sale: Loads the Sales tracking pixel hosted ontbs.tradedoubler.com.Lead: Loads the Leads tracking pixel hosted ontbl.tradedoubler.com.Product: Loads the product level tracking pixel.
-
Organization ID: (Required) The numeric organization ID provided by TradeDoubler. This field applies only if Tag Type is set to
SaleorLead. -
Event ID: (Required) The numeric identifier assigned to the sale/lead event you want to track. This field applies only if Tag Type is set to

Load rules
Load Rules determine when and where to load an instance of this Tag. The Load on All Pages rule is the default Rule. If you prefer to load this Tag on a specific page, create a new rule with the relevant conditions.
Best practices
- Place the sale tag on the confirmation page, one that appears post completion of a sale.
- Place the lead tag on pages that allow site visitors to sign-up or register.
- Place the product tag on a page where you want to track visitor interactions with products and product categories.
Data mappings
Mapping is the process of sending data from a Data Layer Variable to the corresponding destination variable of the vendor tag. For instructions on how to map a Variable to a tag destination, see Data Mappings.
The destination variables for the Tradedoubler Conversion Tracking Tag are built into its Data Mapping tab.
