Capricorn

Hi guys, I was wondering if someone can explain to me couple of things that I don't understand. They relate to CPA offers testing & tracking.

So I know now that Tracking202 is probably the best tool to use for tracking & testing of my offers. I've watched all their videos & read guidance notes & forum. I want to use it to track MSN ads & MaxBounty network campaign. I understand what dynamic text means too...just seem to be really muddled up as to where I need to put what & how it all works together so I'm going to try to list my questions (so hopefully they make sense ) below:

1) I understand that setting up subId is crucial, but I don't know whether I need to set it up on CPA network & then copy & paste EACH individual link to Tracking202
- am kind of lost here.....imagine I have: MSN, Campaign X, I want to track ad text 1, and I want to track keyword 'dogfood'
- do I put into subId of all these details INTO MaxBounty's subId area: e.g. after their subId symbols: MSN-campaignX-adtext1-dogfood & then copy the whole link into tracking202??

2) If the above applies imagine I have 3 different text ads & 200 keywords & I want to use variations on all of these so that each keywords is tested with each - I think I'd go nuts LOL if I had to add all those variations firstly to MaxBounty & then to tracking202.....

3) If I don't need to do the above, but only need to use the actual affiliate link from MaxBounty & THEN copy that one to tracking202 how would MaxBounty report be able to show me which ad text & keywords actually converts to leads??

4) & all in all I don't even know how this than actually relates to tracking all the information that is coming out of MSN...
- e.g. I know I can see what CTR is on each of my keywords but naturally I can't see which out of these clicks is actually converting to leads & I assume this is what Tracking202 is doing......

At the moment I don't seem to be able to move on with setting up a campaign because of this.... It took me a while to firstly find the tracking software & also to actually kind of understand the basics. I really want to get the tracking right so that I don't loose £ because of some silly inability to see what is actually converting & what is only a good ad copy (yeah, don't get me started on it...I'm sure I'll be back soon re. ad copy writing...) but doesn't actually bring any conversions.

Once I set up few campaigns I might also use some organic traffic but right now I only want to use text ads.

I hope that my above explanation makes sense. I basically can't figure out the tracking relationship & what goes where between MaxBounty, Tracking202 & MSN ads.....

Thank you xoxo

whoops - used my affiliated link to maxbounty & just read the rules so have removed :-) - have no website yet so am just typing in this stuff to fill in the space ;-)))
