Link Tracking with a PHP Redirect?

Hello everyone, I am having some difficulties figuring out how to track my affiliate links when using a PHP redirect. I am currently running a successful adwords campaign using a landing page for a clickbank product. My problem, however, is tracking those links.

I have a clickbank TI and a google tracking ID attached to my links inside the PHP script but only my hop name is recorded when a sale is made. I am running ads on both google and yahoo, but I have no way of knowing which keywords or services (google or yahoo) are converting. I've been extremely profitable that last 3 days but I am doing myself a disservice by not tracking my conversions.

I want to figure this out asap so I can optimize the campaign and scale it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Pretty sure if you want conversion tracking on ClickBank products, the vendor has to add at least a snippet of code to their thank you / download page.

      For now, I really just need to know where sales are coming from (ie google or yahoo). When I was direct linking before I had a clickbank Tracking ID and a google tracking Id attached to the link and everything worked just fine. I saw my conversions in my adwords account and I saw my unique clickbank ID in my clickbank transaction summary which told me where sells are coming from.

      If I can simply track google sales vs yahoo sales for now I'll be happy. I feel like I'm flying blind!

      Appreciate the response, by the way.
