How do I track PPC keywords for affiliate products?

[Dayne Dylan]

Does anyone know how I can track which keywords are converting when I'm using PPC for an affiliate product link? Obviously, I can not put my tracking code on their thank you page.

Is there a simple way to do this?

I'm promoting a Clickbank product as an affiliate. So far I'm only using about 15 keywords, and I am making a few sales, but not sure which keyword is converting.

Thanks!

Hi Dayne,

Tracking202 and Prosper202 are 2 popular solutions. Here's a post that explains how to do it.

Thanks, I will check that out.

I also posted this in the PPC forum, but can you have direct affiliate links in MSN (Bing.com) when using PPC? I know you can't do it in Google. Just curious.

As far as I know you can in MSN, but better double check. Last I knew you could.

You can in Adwords too, it's not against the rules, it's just that they only allow one ad per domain so it can be tricky if the merchant or other affiliates are bidding on the same KW as you are. Plus you may be able to get a better quality score if you use your own domain and landing page. But there are pros and cons there too. Anyway you CAN direct link in Adwords it's just tricky.
