I have easily done it with adcenter by having the subid passed directly from my ad: http:/sjhdsjh.com?sub={keyword} then straight to the aff link. How does this whole tracking work when you have a landing page? I know there is conversion code but from the looks of it would only work if I were the affiliate not the publisher becuase I can track the code. Would the syntax be the same for the url in google to pass the keyword to the landing page? Then what would the code be for azoogle in the landing page code. Currently I have http://sdsdsd.com?sub=google which tells me the traffic is from google but obviously not the keywords that make the conversions. Any wesbites or tutorials on this?
to properly track roi from your own landing page you should build your own tracking system. the easy way to do it for non programing types is just build 3 pages for each engine. They way to do it if you have some php knowledge is to pass the keyword and search variables to your subids
Gotcha. So if you have one landing page parse the reffering url to strip out which search engine it came from and which keyword came in. Send the keyword <subid> to azoogle and send the traffic source to my traffic logger? Am I on the right track?
Shoe, what 3 pages are you referring to? Also, what route would you go if you are a programming type? This area is of particular interest for me.
He means: 1 page MSN 1 page Google 1 page Yahoo Make three total landing pages. I am going for one page which will tell me all the info I need and pass that along to azoogle subreporting. So far I am able to pass the keyword to the landing page but not able to pass the variable to the url once the userclicks through. I have read that the parameter in PHP: register_globals: is turned off by default. This being on should hold the value and a line like: http://x.aimp.com?sub=$keyword can be used to pass along the keyword to another page. I'm trying it now and will post all the code I used to get it to work.
Sorry @ shoe, but for what 3 pages? There are ready made scripts all over the net, you just have to look a bit At the different ppc engines attach an string to your url like: ?ref=msn Than parse that one and fill it in the subid So you know from where the sale came, can use anywhere the exact same page etc. P.S look for something like referer script or so...
