hi everyone,

I now running some offers and use 7search.com & looksmart.com to get traffic,and i got lots of clicks but I dont use tracking system for it,I test and observe from advertising network and CPA network (now is Wolf storm media) and I did not get any conversions.

So,do i doing wrong or i need a tracking system ?

If you are not tracking your traffic you are not making any money , Track each and every click !!!

You're definitely doing wrong
I can't imagine you're driving paid traffic without setting up tracking..

You need tracking if you are going to have any success, get that setup before going any further IMO.

johncao

thanks all,
so which tracking system i should use ?
i now using direct linking to merchant page,not through a landing page

You must track your results in paid traffic. Thats because your results are what determines which campaigns to continue and which ones to discontinue. Money is money so track your results. 7Search is so cheap, if done right, you can dominate your competition for any niche.

Read the rules - no affiliate links allowed.

You may want to check out Prosper202 for your tracking

Which are good tracking softwares and do I have to use them at their page or setup at my server. I want a good detailed approach to this. Is there any tracking for mobile offers as well.

Prosper202 is good,it's free and you host it on your own VPS. CPVlab I've heard is also good, if you can afford to pay for tracking.
I believe it works on mobile offers also, don't quote me on that though.

You can start tracking using 7search tracking variables until you get prosper up and running.

No you didn't do it wrong ... its just the traffic that is junk. I tried so many lower tier PPC platforms and its all the same. Traffic DOES NOT compare to Adwords or YSM. Granted, its more expensive but where there is competition there is money to be made.

Stick to adwords and ysm if you want to do proper lead generation, theres a reason why merchants pay you up to $90 bucks a lead from it.

Any questions just let me know,

Do you have the ability to place a tracking pixel on to the thank you page of the site you are promoting? This is generally an issue when looking at Affiliate marketing because some Affiliates do not allow for codes to be placed onto their pages.

I would be glad to share a call with you to discuss this as well as any other questions you might have.

Thanks,
Brad

Even if you were doing good & not tracking traffic...You are doing wrong thing.
Use prosper202 & track each & every thing like source, keyword etc

A tracking system will simply show you where your traffic may be coming from. Conversions may be the issue. Ask your affiliate manager which offers convert highest then send traffic to those.

Don't fly blind you really need to track, if you cannot afford a VPS to install prosper202 use spreadsheets and track using the ###KEYWORD### parameter in 7search ... append it to your tracking subid that way you can at least tell which keywords gave you conversions when you look at your commission reports. Then at least you have a chance to optimize and scale your campaigns

How do i get tracking? Someone PM me. New to the affiliate networking

ChrisBa

You really should start tracking, but more importantly what kind of a technique/method are you using to send your traffic with 7search?

johncao

i use direct linking without a landing page,

In section
Display URL: ( i put my URL )
Default Destination URL: ( URL of merchant page )

and when some one click on the ad,it lead directly to merchant page!

in my CPA network account,it display a lot of clicks,but no any conversions.

i now contacting my affiliate manager to see what is going on!

thanks to all

I would suggest you not to use looksmart. I tried few months back and I noticed that many clicks where from proxies.
But 7search is very profitable if you do it correctly.
