Article Marketers!!! Tracking Sales?

by Joey J
5 replies
so I've been writing a lot of articles lately and sales are starting to come in but I don't know from where.

I could assume that articles with the highest number of clickthroughs but I'm not much for guessing.

Is it possible to track sales with php script?

When visitor lands on url, get code from article http:// ezinarticles.com/?This-Is-The-Article-Title&id=1234567

then forward something like http://YourClickBankID.merchant.clickbank.net?tid=1234567

Any help is much appreciated

    It's possible yes. If your site has a script that will check the referrer and then put that referrer in the affiliate link. I'm sure there are easier ways but, yeah, it's possible.

        You should be able to do something like this:

        <a href="http://your.affliate.link.com?tid=<?php echo $_GET['id']; ?>">Call to action</a>

        I make no promises on the security of this as anyone can then inject what ever they want into your tid parameter by modifying the id url parameter they hit your page with.

    I'm not that good with PHP but it should be easy for a coder to create it for you.

      You could opt-in and get a tracking solution (I think still for free..!) here:

      Red Hot Roi - Article Marketing Impact Measurement and ROI Booster

      After opting in you will land on a multiple JV product site (He's a warrior, by the way) and he helped me a lot.

      I now have my own personal tracking tool site and even if it is a bit of work, it allows me to track literally everything exactly the way I want to.

      I'm sure if you ask him -once you opt- in he'll start sending you emails to which you can reply and get in touch.
