How to track a CB campaign with 7 Search

wildeagle · 10-06-2012, 08:04 PM

7Search is really an interesting marketing tool but is there any possibility to track the sales at the keyword level? Specifically when direct linking Clickbank products?

Thank you in advance!

As long as you can track subids you can track.. (so yes)

I would suggest setting up Prosper202 or some other tracking solution. The reason being that you want to track 3 things: Your ###KEYWORD###, and the ###AFFID### and ###RID### of the traffic sources, and it's much easier to sort out that data if your using a 3rd party tracking system.

I'll just cover the ###KEYWORD### variable to keep things simple. To find out more about ###AFFID### and ###RID### tracking, search a thread on 'blocking bad traffic sources' in 7 Search.

Simply set up your destination URL like this:

http://blablabla.hop.clickbank.net?tid=###KEYWORD###

The tid=###KEYWORD### part will pass the keyword information into ClickBank evey time your ad is clicked.

Then, in your CB reports, you'll see the keywords for every click and every conversion (reporting > analytics, then select 'by tracking ID' under 'hops'.)

Now you'll be able to see exactly which keywords produced conversions for you!

Now say you were going to go more advanced and set up Prosper202. You would want to pass subIDs into ClickBank instead.

See this thread for information on how to go about doing that.

Thank you guys for your replies!

MTVida, does your solution imply to create a campaign per keyword? Because if not, I didn't figure out yet how to do otherwise.

I am familiar with Prosper202, I used to use their online version when I was doing a lot of PPC. I might give it another shot since am going to invest more time and money into paid traffic.

work with P202 is more suitable in my opinion

You can definitely have multiple keywords in your campaign. In the second step of creating a campaign, you'll be able to enter multiple keywords. I also like to use the keyword suggestion tool on that screen, it's the most accurate way to get KWs that are getting searches in 7 Search's system. You can also go to the "Add Keywords" tab one you've selected a campaign and you'll go to the same place.

Prosper202 is great. Sub-Ids can also work.
