    Are you an affiliate, or CB vendor? It's tougher to track conversions as a CB affiliate, but it's doable by using dynamic tid's (you would need to use CB's reporting though, and not adwords' built-in conversion tracking).. if you're interested, I can pm you the code you'd need.

    It's really quite simple. First, you have to get your Google Adwords Conversion Tracking Code. To do this, log into your Adwords account, go to "Conversion Tracking." Once you're there, make sure you're on the "Online Ads" tab, and click on "Create a new action."

    Once there, fill in the appropriate information, and when you're done "Save Action & Get Code." The code will look something like this:

    <!-- Google Code for New Code Conversion Page -->
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    var google_conversion_id = 1053643282; <<<<-----YOU'LL NEED THIS NUMBER!!
    (The code continues...)

    Notice the code above, the number "1053643282"? That's all you'll need from the Adwords tracking code.

    Once you have that number, here's how you'll use it with your Clickbank code:

    1. Here's your typical Clickbank affiliate code:

    XXXX.affstocks.hop.clickbank.net/

    2. Here's your Clickbank affiliate code with the added Google Adwords Conversion Tracking code:

    XXXX.affstocks.hop.clickbank.net/?gid=1053643282

    3. You can even go a step further and include your Clickbank tracking code:

    XXXX.affstocks.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=CBTRACK&gid=1053643282

    That's pretty much it. Of course, instead of "XXXX" you'll use your own Clickbank ID, and instead of 1053643282 you'll use the tracking number from your own Adwords account. Good luck.

      great post. Thank you for these step-by-step instructions. I am working on adding clickbank products to my repertoire of ppc campaigns .

        Are you sure this does not require the vendors landing page to specificly implement this by replacing their own conversion id's with yours dynamicly, and passing it all through CB?

        I don't think CB supports this itself

    You're welcome Cashmon. I am also ramping up my Clickbank affiliate marketing campaigns. The ability to track where my sales are coming from is helping out tremendously as it lets me focus my budget on the keywords that are actually converting.

    do a search for "gid" on clickbank - you wont find it.

    I do not think it is anything provided by CB, and it probably will not work unless the vendor has built the code to support on their sales page and download page.
