Can someone recommend a good program or other method for tracking conversions by keyword for a PPC campaign direct linking to a Clickbank product sales page through an affiliate link?
I can't use Adwords conversion tracking because it requires you to place a line of code on the landing page. I can't put this code on the product sales page.
I know how to track conversions by ads using sud IDs but I want to find out exactly which keywords are converting.

    Check out Affiliate Prophet.

    By the way, you can also try and ask the product owner if they would put your tracking code on the conversion page.

      Thanks for the advise.
      I am trying Prosper 202 now. If it doesn't do the job I will look into Affiliate Prophet.

      I did try to contact the product owner for one Click Bank product about installing tracking codes but they never replied. Needless to say, I won't be promoting that product any more since they did not bother to reply to help me in selling their product. Especially considering I have already made them a few sales.

        Since starting affiliate marketing over 4 years ago I have always wondered how to find out exactly which keyword produced my affiliate product sales... I always wanted to be able to track the sale through from my Pay-per-Click Ad through to the product owners remote website thankyou page.

        Finally I have "cracked the code" of exactly how to do it, and I figured if I needed to know how to do it, then other serious affiliate marketers would also need to.

        What I am proposing to do is this:-

        I am going to put together a comprehensive training course on exactly how to do it. It will be a series of videos and will contain full instructions of how to do it - It will be just like as if you were looking over my shoulder as I set it up for myself - everything including how to set it all up, will be explained in full detail.

        So, before I put this course together I am doing an introductory survey to see if this is something people want.

        If you are interested in participating in this survey then please go to

        Thanks - Trevor

    You can use Prosper202 for direct linking campaigns and it will cloak your data from the merchant too. Also you can track your ads and know which ad is getting the conversions. All doable within the server.

    It's pretty easy to setup and is free.

    If you don't want to run your own server you can check out Tracking202 which is the same software only it is a service, just sign up.

    Something to think about.

      Thanks for the reply Derek.
      I just installed prosper 202 on my server and added tracking codes to my PPC campaign.
      One problem I see is that it takes longer for the page to load when someone clicks my ad.
      I guess this is the case with any redirect. Hopefully the slower load time will not affect my CTR.
