Amazon Affiliate Analytics

I've been making sales inconsistently with a few of my amazon review sites and I'd like to maximize my earnings by finding what works and what doesnt work and mass producing what works...

Is there anyway to track where your amazon buyers are coming from?

Does amazon show what site or what page they came to amazon from?

Is there anyway to tell this from google webmaster tools or google analytics?

My method is working but I just don't know why... What is boggling my mind is that I'm making sales in the same niche but any of the products that I've specifically targeted - basically I don't know what products these people are searching for thats leading them to my site. If I could figure this out, it would help me out alot.

Anyone else having the same problem?

Thanks!

    JT,

    Some of this, I have not found a way to track yet.

    Set Up Separate Tracking ID's For Sites Or Catagories - Log in to your amazon associate account and click on account settings at the top of the page. Next click on manage your tracking ID's. Set up an id for each site, or each catagory within each site, your choice.

    Then you would need to replace the affiliate ID in each site or category section that you want to change to it's specific id. A search and replace plug in would probably do it if it was site wide ( I can't remember which one I used on a couple sites). Then visit some of your html on your posts and make sure it was changed.

    You can then log in the next day and see all results of all sites, or at the top left, you can select one Id at a time.

    Hope that helps.

    Jeannie,

    once again you've came to the rescue... I'm going to try that tonight and see if I can create some form of separation between sites.

    is there anyway to do this that you know of or recommend through google analytics or webmaster tools? I would think there might be some way to tell what search tern the people came from but don't know how.

    thanks Jeannie!

      You are welcome.

      I don't use google analytics or webmaster tools on my amazon affiliate sites.

      I do use two plugins that give me the search terms though. Rank Tracker gives the search term they used, the page they went to and your position for that term in the search engines. I really like this plug in. This plugin cost $27 I think.

      I also use Seo SearchTerms 2. If I recall right, this one was free, it gives you the search term and hyperlinks to the page the visitor went to, in your dashboard.

      It will turn the search terms to tags as well. But don't get carried away on how many you show and you may not want to hyperlink the tags. Some sites I just use it for the internal information and don't have it post on the posts and pages.

      I find things sometimes show up on seo search terms two, but not on rank tracker. So I use both.
