Hi Fellow Warriors,

I have a landing page that promotes an affiliate product.

I am sending traffic to it via Bing PPC.

The aff link was created using a Wordpress plugin called 'Pretty Link'

I am trying to use the tracking program with-in the ppc-coach.com private forum.

I want to be able to track what keywords end up being responsible for sales.

I cant place code on the company site that Im referring traffic to.

Would prefer NOT to use prosper202.

Thanks in advance for help on this!

Bret

    I use Google Analytics for tracking sale. It is the best . Set up Event tracking ,and you can track pretty much everything

    Low tech option, use hash tags.

    Example:
    • hxxp://domain.com/affliate-link-here#keyword-here

    Working example here, keep an eye on the URL in your browser address bar after the page loads.

    When you use a hash tag & there's no ID tag on the target web page, by default the URL with the hash tag will automatically jump to the top of the target web page, like a normal URL.

    Most affiliate programs will allow you to pass in a sub-id text value. And then you have to get a report from the buyer of your traffic telling you which keyword generated the sale. You can pass in the keyword dynamically through url.com?subid={keyword} and then get the subid report from your buyer.

    If they don't support returning subid data back to you, then you have to use the tricks mentioned above and record outbound clicks in GA from your intermediate site. And make the gross assumption that keywords that produce higher% of outbound clicks also produce higher% of sales.
