I am familar with Azoogle again after a year of not using them. I see they have universal pixels. Does this take the place of have our Affiliate Manager place pixels on google for what we want to track? does this work with Yahoo and MSN? What do I have to do in order to get this to work correctly? I read through the PDF file but I need more basic instructions. I am not a programmer in the least. Thanks
I don't know about the google pixel, but the image pixel is for use with your own tracking system. I found that it isn't 100% accurate when I messed around with it awhile back.
Yep, that's what it's for I believe. However, I haven't used this. And, not every offer allows a pixel to be placed. I recommend using Prosper202.com or Tracking202.com for several reasons. 1. You gather all keyword data. For example, if you bid on cool blue shoes - broad match, and you just have a google pixel, in google if you get a sale it will tell you it converted, but it won't tell you what the exact search term was. Like if the searched for really cool blue shoes now or something - you don't get that info. With tracking/prosper202 - you get it. You can see what they actually typed into google, and which keywords convert. 2. You can hide your keywords from everyone. With the google pixel, the merchant can tell what keywords you're bidding on/driving traffic to them through, and because they're the merchant, they can see which keywords convert. So if you find a nice unique keyword that's banking and no one else has it, the merchant will get it and join in on the fun with you (not what you want). 3. Much more data - You can track text ads, keywords, ROI, cpc, etc etc. It's really great. You can use export202 to transfer from Google to yahoo or msn or vice versa. It took me maybe an hour or two to set up, and setting up your links, etc is a little time consuming, but it pays off A LOT. Good luck
Say I place your google pixel code on my offer conversion page. You're saying, I as a merchant can see your keywords? I don't think this is true. I'm sure google is smart enough to not reveal the keyword information in the pixel code. I'm sure it's all encrypted.
Even if the code is encrypted, there's nothing being manipulated within your own landing page/links. Your ad has your basic link - they hit the page, and they hit a simple link or maybe php redirect. Unless you're encrypting your redirects or links, the Google pixel doesn't encrypt anything. The only purpose of the google code is to tell your account which keyword converts. The merchant doesn't need this info, as it already knows what converts. If google's pixel hid keywords from everything, people would be using that 99% of the time instead of software that takes much longer to set up than a simple email to your manager. Correct me if I'm wrong
The universal pixel allows you to set one tracking pixel to automatically be placed on offers without asking your AM to do it for you. It's really intended for a private pixel tacking software since you are limited to only 1 pixel. I use my adwords pixel since most of my business is though them. If you want to do that find the adwords conversion code and just take the url for the pixel. The google pixel is called "imp.gif" find the line with the full url and parameters and put it in Azoogle and your done. It should look something like this http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/xxxxxx/imp.gif?value=1&lable=defult&script=0
Zapazon, how do you know the Google pixel will reveal the keyword? How do you know they do not have a code for each keyword?
I'm not saying it does. Regardless of whether or not you have google's pixel placed on a merchant's page - they still know which keywords converts because THEY ARE the merchant. You actually have to encrypt your links to them which has the keyword data in order to prevent them from having the keyword used. So again, it doesn't matter if the google pixel is the most advanced keyword tracking tool - if you're not masking your links and encrypting them - they can get that info because they are the merchant. They already know what converts. The only difference is you knowing, too. Plain and simple... Does that make sense?
Eh, you're still wrong, Zapazon Unless you're passing the keywords as sub id's or parameters in the URL, the merchant has absolutely no way of knowing what keywords generate leads. In fact, even IF you pass keywords as sub id's, I'm still pretty sure (not certain) that the merchant can't see the keywords. Only Azoogle can. You might want to confirm this with your AM, because it may be true for some offers and not true for others, but I know that I have run offers before and my AM confirmed that the merchant could not see sub id's but Azoogle could.
Yeah you're right, you'd most likely have to have the kw={keyword} string, however, I get organic traffic and I can see what keywords are from organic... Maybe it's because of the JS code but I'm not sure.
Can Prosper202.com or Tracking202.com See wht keywords are converting for us as i m interested to try but dont want any one to know this . Google Pixle tracking is not working for me while using with Azoogleads.
Yea that what i thought. There is no way the merchant capture or see your keywords with Google pixel placed on their conversions page otherwise it beats the whole purpose. The idea is to hide the keywords from others and register conversions.
