    Sub ids are the very basic trackign mechnism. Every network has their own way to add sub-ids to your affiliate link but you literally figue out where the sub id goes in your link and then you can just change that sub id and you have a whole new affiliate link.

    You can then track your traffic based on the subid you used. It will be displayed in the stats or related section on the network platform

      I sometimes use them to track which advert is generating the clicks. Sometimes I use them to track which landing page is generating conversions. There are several ways to use them, just depends on what you want to track.

      So, you want to sell me another way to easily make "X" dollars in "X" days? ROFL too funny! IM success requires hard work and lots of time. Most newbies do not survive the steep learning curve. Anyone who says otherwise is probably selling you a fantasy.

    All the above are correct, sub ids can be used for tracking pretty much anything.

    As a word of caution, be careful once you start generating a lot of traffic because you dont want to reveal too much information. For example, you may have one single keyword that brings in hundreds per day and it wouldnt make sense to have that keyword as your sub id because then eerybody at the network can see and steal your campaign. Not saying this will happen, but better safe than sorry once you start seeing larger traffic volume.
