Direct linking site as a buy link on landing page?

by SirHarrrison

I was curious... you know hoe google bot doesn't like a lot of affiliate links on the landing pages... well I have it setup different anyways, but!!!!

I am trying to setup a website optimizer campaign to see which version of my landing page converts better.

AND
I am using wordpress so a affiliate link doesn't count as a page to track conversions on.
i have a direct linking campaign page setup for adwords like ... hxxp.www.mydirectlinkincamp.com and i was wondering would that fly with google and it's conversion tracking since that is technically a site with ftp access that i can upload the tracking code to.

it would kinda be like giving my other site the sale though .

this is why i need ideas and feedback, thanks warriors,
Harrsion

    New issue, if anybody reads this. I just tried to use my direct linking domain as a buy link and it says: "The original page and the conversion page URLs must share the same domain."

    Any ideas or recommendations? Is there a way I can use my main domain that i am testing to redirect to my buy domain?

    Google does not mind unless if your site looks like all of the other cookie cutter niche affiliate sites. If you add some pics, videos, articles, etc to make it look like a unique site then you can link to your affiliate links all you want.

    I never hid my affiliate links and believe me it never hurt my business. Just put some uniqueness into your site and give the visitor some value.

      That isn't my problem, my affiliate links are cloaked.

      I want to test my landing pages. And as everbody know google website optimizer is the most effective for that, but i am using wordpress and an affiliate link does not count as an page so i can't insert the conversion tracking code in there.

      I wanted to use my direct linking campaign for the same campaign i am running on my site, but that didn't work either.

      I just want to split test my landing pages ...wawawawawa!!!! boo frickin hoo

    ah. misunderstood.

    You guys with all your fancy wordpress and google tools. I am old school. I just hand swap pages around and track from the server side to see what works best. I leave google in the dark until I want them to see the light. (better for seo if google does not know everything I am doing until I want them to)

      hahaha, isn't that the truth, I honestly would rather have google know what i am doing so they can slap me now instead of slapping me later. lol

      That's just me though.

      I do alot with backlinking software and meta tag testing, I get good results. It is funny what google likes.
