Hi. I'm a newbie to this afifilate marketing. I have about 50 keywords for Yahoo. How do I track them using subids for my landing pages?
You should use sub id tracking feature. It's basically assigning a unique id to a keyword & including it in your ad url so you know what keywords are generating traffic & what are converting. Search this forum for "sub id" & you will find good tips.
Here is a low tech solution. Take your index.html page and open it up in a text editor. Put this in the top of your HTML. <?php $keyword = $_GET['key']; if (isset(keyword)) ?> When you send them off your page and to azoogle put this for your SUBID. http://azjmp.com/XXXXX?sub=G<?=$keyword;?> Then save the page as index1.php Notice I put a G in there. The G shows that this is the page I got setup for GOOGLE. Make a different page for each traffic source. So if you bid on yahoo msn and google you have index1.php index2.php and index3.php So when you're in google you'd assign the url to go your page as... http://www.url.com/index1.php?key={keyword} You can also track which button on your page they clicked off of or other details by putting other information in the subid. What are the flaws of this script?? /action looks over his shoulder Azoogle sees your information. Well hopefully that'll get you started off in the right direction. Sorry for my broken english I'm semi-retarded with a touch of the down syndrome.
Well, I wouldn't recommend revealing keyword data to anybody. Use the same code dademurphy gave but instead of bare keyword - use something like "g101" In adwords you can set this by having http://www.url.com/index1.php?key=g101 as ad url.
Anyone have any experience with 3rd party keyword tracking software they can recommend? I know http://www.directtrack.com/dtbm_kwm.html is available but it's $80 a month .....
That could very well be worth it if your are planning on doing alot of volume and making a big business. The support you get with some these programs is what your really paying for and it's def. worth it.
