So I signed up, picked a product that I thought might appeal to my viewers and got their banner and my affiliate link. Through some miracle I managed to figure out how to embed my link into the banner and to load the banner onto my site ... I did say was a noob here ! Here is the question ... how do I track the ad ? How do i track clicks ? All the clickbank account info seems prepared to tell me is how many sales I have made which is pretty weak info if I dont know how many clicks the banner is getting ??? Any advice on this or any other techniques that I could be incorporating would be appreciated.
Use Clickbank tracking for your banners. Include it in your affiliate link. You can read about it here http://www.clickbank.com/affiliate_tools.html#Affiliate_Tools_5
Either that, or you make the banner re-direct to a link on your site which then re-directs to the clickbank product with your affiliate link that way you can just check your stats to see how many clicks you get
