Conversion Tracking with YSM

    I'm having some problems getting Clickbank to work with the Yahoo Search Marketing conversion thing. I need to know what keywords are converting without using the stupid tid thing. I have analytic and conversion only analytics turned on, however I have Tracking URLs turned off. Does tracking URLs need to be turned on?

    I have a link like this:
    http://xxxx.xxxxx.hop.clickbank.net?oid=MY_YAHOO_ID_HERE

    It isn't working though and I can't figure it out. The traffic is going right from Yahoo to that kind of link.

    Would it be better to direct the traffic to my own server, use some sort of tracking program, and then auto redirect to the landing page? Even then though, how do I get the advertisers page to tell me the converting keywords without using stupid tid?

    I'm pretty confused lol. Basically, I don't want to use the tids because I have 1000's of keywords and I want to keep it so the merchant can't get my keywords. What's the best thing to do?

    Wouldn't that just make my account id show up in the clickbank analytics?


    I think I figured it out...I was using the ID that is given in the HTML that you are supposed to place on your page, not the one on the account summary page.
