VK Play integration

VK Play is a russian platform for selling and distributing Free-to-Play and Premium games. The platform offers developers simple and quick integration for all games, traffic tracking, an API for ad monetization, and more.

Connect MyTracker to your game on VK Play to take your app analytics to the next level:

  • monitor game statistics instantly: audience activity, retention, total revenue, details by age, country, and session duration.
  • build conversion funnels and visualize user steps: which ads are your power users coming from, where are you losing the most users;
  • create audience segments for researching specific user groups and targeting;
  • build reports of any complexity with multiple selectors and filters, break down data by traffic sources.
  • connect such partners as Google, Petal Ads, VK, etc.

How it works

To integrate VK Play with MyTracker, just click Connect MyTracker in the VK Play developer portal. MyTracker automatically creates an account and applications similar to the company and games on the VK Play platform.



On the MyTracker side, you can manage advertising campaigns, create tracking links and build detailed reports on different traffic channels. On the VK Play side, you can see general stats on incoming traffic.

Features

Some MyTracker options are not available to game developers due to the specifics of the game platform:

Project. Project for VK Play games may include only one game. Unlike mobile apps, you can't combine multiple games into one project.

Attribution. Attribution for VK Play campaigns supports post-click and post-view conversions. Attribution settings for VK Play are set by default and cannot be edited.

  • 7 days for Post click attribution
  • 1 day for Post view attribution

Campaigns. When adding a campaign to MyTracker, select the "VK Play" type.

Metrics by platform users. In MyTracker, VK Play has its own set of metrics. You can find it in the Report builder in the Platform Users section. The superscript letter p indicates these metrics. See Report below.

Connecting account

  1. Register and log in to MyTracker in advance.

Campaign management

In MyTracker, in the Campaigns section, you can create ad campaigns and tracking links to collect statistics on your own ads and assess the quality of income traffic.

All campaigns created on the VK Play side before the account is connected will be automatically uploaded to MyTracker. Up-to-date statistics for these campaigns will also be available in MyTracker reports.

To run an ad campaign with a tracking link from MyTracker:

  1. Add a campaign with the VK Play type.
  2. Add one or more tracking links to the campaign.
  3. One link can be used in an unlimited number of advertisements. However, stats, in this case, will be collected by all ads.

    To get the most detailed statistics for each advertisement or channel, use unique links.

    As a result, MyTracker will generate Click URL and Direct Click URL to track traffic. Impression URL will also be generated and can be used for counting impressions, not for attribution.

  4. Place Click URL or Direct Click URL in the ad. You can copy the URL from the tracking link view page and send it to your partner or paste it into the ad by yourself.

After the campaign is launched, MyTracker will gather data on the number of clicks, impressions, and users brought in.
