I am trying 7search for my cpalead content lock with some small success. But would like to refine my campaign. How can I track which keywords are converting with a 7search ad..?

UPDATE: I solved this with some google action
added ###KEYWORD### to the url

    Well for non incentive tracking there is subid used most commonly but here you are using a gateway the best bet is to use there tracking code place it on page where you are providing incentive to visitors for example if you are locking a book place there tracking code on download page ...

    Prosper 202 is pretty good for ppc keyword tracking.

    You can use ###KEYWORD### tag for 7search keyword tracking. Also, I think they have built in conversion tracking system that you have to add the pixel code!

    Hey MRGEE,

    Glad you found that and yes, Omid is right. Consider adding our conversion tracking to better track the effectiveness of your campaigns.

      I've been having some success running ads on 7search but want to see if there is a more indepth way to track so I can squeeze more profits out of my campaigns

      Right now I'm sending subid's to my network to weed out bad referrers (junk traffic) using
      ###KEYWORD### and ###AFFID###-###RID###

      I'm running an iphone offer

      The problem I'm having is that although I can track the keyword, affiliate and referrer id I can't determine the exact keyword that is converting for broad match keyword phrases because it just shows the broad match term in my stats

      For example using the broad match keyword iphone
      Ton's of clicks and good conversions but when I delve deeper into the actual keywords within the 7search dashboard that triggered my ad it might be iphone 4s released

      So the conversion says iphone but the click was actually something different due to broad match
      What I'm thinking of doing is take all the generated clicks and create an identical campaign and make them exact match
      Then I can track the exact keyword from that portion of the original campaign

      On the original campaign I would then make those keywords negative match so they won't trigger my ads under broad match

      I'm pretty sure this will work but maybe overlooking a simpler way of doing this
      I mean I could make all my keywords exact match from the begining but I also want to learn what long tail keyword the market is typing in. The kind that don't ever show up in paid/ no paid keyword tools

      Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated

      Thanks

    Although I totally understand what you want to do, I'm 99% sure 7search can't pass the exact keyword through. They can only pass the keyword in their system to you that triggered the showing of your ad.

    Glad you found your answer - but also, look at using prosper202, it will allow you to track much more than just keywords
