How do I track this on Adwords? Please help.

Warriors,

I'm using Adwords to promote a magazine as an affiliate. What I've done is setup a useful landing page with the affiliate link on it. Of course, then this link takes them to the magazine sales page.

How can I setup tracking on this so I know which keywords are working and converting since I don't have a "thank you" page to put tracking code on?

Thanks!

you need to add a unique TID to each keyword destination url.. then append it to your affiliate link on your landing page (with javascript or php).

From there, you should be able to use the reporting in CB, CJ, etc to see which KW's/TID's are converting.

I'll PM you sample code if you need it..

Since starting affiliate marketing over 4 years ago I have always wondered how to find out exactly which keyword produced my affiliate product sales... I always wanted to be able to track the sale through from my Pay-per-Click Ad through to the product owners remote website thankyou page.

Finally I have "cracked the code" of exactly how to do it, and I figured if I needed to know how to do it, then other serious affiliate marketers would also need to.

What I am proposing to do is this:-

I am going to put together a comprehensive training course on exactly how to do it. It will be a series of videos and will contain full instructions of how to do it - It will be just like as if you were looking over my shoulder as I set it up for myself - everything including how to set it all up, will be explained in full detail.

So, before I put this course together I am doing an introductory survey to see if this is something people want.
