How to track my visitors ?

    Hello,

    I own an online currency converter which is doing well (rank #2 in my target SERPS). Adsense are also doing well. Meanwhile I would like to shift to an affiliate solution. I tried to affiliate with travel companies but this is not working well. I would like to know how you proceed to identify your visitors needs and therefore the best affiliate market to provide.
    Any idea ?

    Regards
    Thibaut

    Hello,

    Actually, I think people interested in using a currency converter would also be interested in travels but seem I am wrong.

    Forex affiliates? I am not sure, but have seen so many forex related affiliate programs of late. Or may be some clickbank e-books on money, foreign trade etc.

    I had the same idea regarding tourism but doesn't seem to work. I think I will give a try to the second choice, ie banking and business.

    Perhaps studying your sites stats and the search phrases they used to find your site might help determine what other topics besides currency conversion they are interested in. You can also see what their geographical breakdown is and target your affiliate programs accordingly (e.g. if most of your site visitors are European, best to pitch European Forex or tourism affiliate deals to them)

    Hum, not so easy as the main search phrases are "convert euro", "convert euros", "euro to dollar", etc.
    Actually, I find it hard to see exactly what they are interested in.
    Traffic comes mostly from Europe and Canada.

    Many thanks for all the replies. I think, I also need to see if the locations of the banners are also suitable. Actually, this could also be the problem.
    I have another idea: the Adsense click ratio is also good; could be nice to see on what ads they are clicking. Do you know any script that could handle this ?

    Regards
    Thibaut

    People using online currency converters are usually interested in Imports/Importing. ;)

    Adsenselogger.com used to do a good job but the script is no longer free and the site looks pretty spammy now. You might be able to find someone on DP who still has the original or google for it to find it the free version

    asRep.com has a free trial version but it doesn't look as if the site has been updated for a while so the script might not work anymore
