CPA tracking202 with clickbank

by Sony Baby
11 replies
Hey I've been struggling trying to set up Tracking202 in general and more specifically in relationship to Clickbank. I tried the Tracking202 forums and have watched several Tracking202 video tutorials and am still thoroughly confused.

Pretty sure the main issue I'm having is centered around the actual campaign tracking, the Clickbank Affiliate URL is apparently:

hxxp://AFFILIATE.PUBLISHER.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=inserthere

Do you just put in your account name in "AFFILIATE.PUBLISHER"?

Do you leave the "inserthere" or is that supposed to be something else?

Also when it comes down to it - if you only have 1 website with 1 advertisement per affiliate product, how is tracking202 going to help you anymore than just using your CPA networks default tracking system? :confused:

I've heard the term tracking pixels outside of the direct campaign tracking, any idea how these work?

Overall all I'm looking to do is track clicks and conversions per Advertisement on my site and also separately track internal/external links on my website to see how many visitors I'm getting and where they are going.

In the end am I even trying to use the correct program for what I want? I'm new to CPA marketing and any help/suggestions/guidance will be greatly appreciated! :p

    CPV and PPC campaigns frequently have more than one keyword. So when you use those traffic sources, your goal is to determine which keywords produce the sales. Tracking202 gives you that capability.

    Here are the four components of a typical CPA campaign:

    Traffic source --- Ad --- Lander --- Offer

    Make sure for any campaign you run that your CPA network puts your own tracking pixel on the Offer page. It will fire when their pixel does.

      Hmm that answers a couple things. What is the point of a landing page if you can just go straight to a good sales pitch made by the product seller? And what if your CPA network cannot be reached for a tracking pixel?

        Any CPA AM who's doing his job should be able to place your pixels. With Clickbank on the other hand, I've never found any way to get your pixels placed...

        A well written and designed lander pre-sells the offer. By pre-selling instead of direct linking, ROI is often better.

    Ah thanks for the advice and tips. I'm still trying to figure out how to actually set up the tracking pixels with tracking202 and I'm wondering how I can track every link on my site that is clicked. I feel like the link clicks are extremely valuable information.

    You put your account name in the affiliate and the publisher name in publisher.
    To get publisher name click the green promote button and on the top it is between but not including the ' ' marks.

    Then, in p202, you delete the word inserthere and replace it with:
    [[subid]]

    Stop with your 1 website 1 advertisement. Buy the software at landingpagegenius.com you need to test.

    1 test = poor
    1000 tests = millionaire
    Which of these describes you so far? Which do you want to be?

    Tracking pixels are what is needed to get the "bought/sale" into p202. If the company won't put it on their site (tho most cpa networks will do it) you will need to use the "update" button on prosper 202 to manually add the sales/sub ids who purchased.

    PM me for a link to a bunch of free ebooks.

    AFFILIATE is your affiliate ID, which is your clickbank login username.

    So if your clickbank username is bond007, your affiliate id is bond0007

    Publisher is the id of the publisher, for example: etvcorp, gsniper. Go to Clickbank Analytics, or the clickbank marketplace to find the ids of popular products.

    Inserthere is the tracking Id, this is optional, you don't have to add it iif you don't want to. It helps you track where your traffic is coming from.

    So your link will look something like this:

    hxxp://bond007.etvcorp.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=inserthere
    Your ID^Product ID^ Tracking ID^

    if you're sending traffic from youtube, your link could be like this:
    hxxp://bond007.etvcorp.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=youtube

    Or if you're sending traffic from yahoo:
    hxxp://bond007.etvcorp.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=yahoo

    The ?tid= basically helps you find out and track where the traffic and sales are coming from.
