Sales tracking for Clickbank *vendor*

by marmalade
5 replies
Hi,

I am looking for a tracking solution that lets me know the origin of sales to my Clickbank vendor website.

For example, if a buyer came to my website from a search engine I'd like to know which search engine, and which keyword.

Or if someone came to my site from a straight link from another website, I'd like to know which website etc.

Also, I'd like it to track all my paid advertising such as Bing Ads and Facebook Ads.

Any ideas?

I was using an old script called Xtreme Conversions 3, which pretty much does what I want, but it appears to be broken, outdated and abandoned nowadays.

How are you Clickbank vendors tracking where your sales are coming from?

    Just wanted to add that improvely.com is something I'm looking at now. Not entirely sure if it does what I'm asking for. Anyone used it?

    If you add another account and become your own affiliate it will become more easier for you to track your conversions with TID parameter.

      Thanks but that is not nearly good enough for me.

      It works when placing certain links on external places, such as articles or some ads. But it doesn't track incoming search engine traffic, organic (spontaneous) links from other sites, and many others.

    You can use ClickBank's VTID. This will allow you to track a sale with a specific ID so you can then view all those sales together in your ClickBank analytics.

    You'll need to use PHP and make the VTID in your paylink a dynamic variable. Then you can just insert the referring url $HTTP_REFERER as the VTID.

    Since Google no longer shows you the referring keyword, you'll only know the sale came through Google.

    For your paid advertising I would set the VTID manual so that each link sends the variable you set for that specific campaign.

      I think I'm just going to try Improvely for now. Sounds easier for a tech noob like me :]
