How to Track Outbound Links with Analytics?

Hello,

I don't see why you can't use tracking.

Do you have a thank you page?

If so you can place tracking links on your sales page, even a different link for each 'buy now button' to see which ones are being used.

Then you place a tracking pixel on your thank you page.

Doesn't matter who your payment processor is.

If you want to try it for free you can use either Tracking202 (service) or Prosper202 (self hosted) to test it out.

If you like their software you are good to go.

You might consider something like Affiliate Prophet.

It not only tracks your conversions but will help you with you sales page conversion rate using Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action (AIDA).

There is an upgrade available that includes Multivariate testing and sales page x-ray. Multivariate testing allows you to test multiple aspects of your sales page at the sametime like Headlines, offer, guarantee, etc. Sales page (x-ray) shows you where your visitors are clicking off of your sales page. If you have trouble spots it will show within a few hundred clicks. Both can be used to make your sales page convert better.

If you are using PPC, article marketing, web 2.0 properties etc. to drive traffic to your site you can use tracking links to send the traffic and then track the sales page click-through rates as well. This will show you which traffic sources are working the best.

You can track your conversions with either software.

If you decide to check out Tracking202 or Prosper202 there is a way to track your own products. Here is a link on how to track your own products with Tracking202 / Prosper202:
