I've never used the Clickbank TID, and I thought it would be a good idea to implement it into my adwords campaign to find out which keywords and ads convert.. can anybody give me a quick run down on how to do this.
You can't separate by keywords, but you can separate by ads: just set a different landing url for each ad, using different TIDs: http://yourid.product.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=myad1 http://yourid.product.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=myad2 http://yourid.product.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=myad3
One way to do it, the simplest way, is to tell your publisher to put your adwords tracking code on the thank you page. This way, you won't have to do any manual work tracking the keywords. Also, Extesy was incorrect when he said that you cannot separate by keywords, but only by ads, you can separate by keywords by enterting the keywords in the following manner when you're adding them in adwords: (example) [COLOR="Red"]play games ** www.yoursite.com/?keyword=play+games buy games ** www.yoursite.com/?keyword=buy+games[/COLOR] Code (markup): You do it in the following format: [COLOR="Orange"]{Keyword} ** {URL Address}[/COLOR] Code (markup): Furthermore you can also set a different bid on each keyword by doing the following: (in the following example I'm setting the max bid at 0.50 for the keyword play games. [COLOR="Red"]play games ** .50 ** www.yoursite.com/?keyword=play+games[/COLOR] Code (markup): Format: [COLOR="#ffa500"]{Keyword} ** {Max Bid amount} ** {URL Address}[/COLOR] Code (markup): Note: If you use google tracking you won't have to do any of this, so what I suggest is asking the publisher to put your tracking code on his thank you page, otherwise you'll have to manually set the keyword URLs (as shown above)
