I have clickbank links posted in forums and on emails but I have no way to know if I send 10 people through that link or 500 people. All I see is the end product, the sales. Is there any tracking mechanisms to keep track of this, like maybe a link tracker or some code to put in the affiliate link? Any help is appreciated...
Yes. Clickbank has it's own tracking feature. You can learn more about it here > http://www.clickbank.com/affiliate_tools.html#Affiliate_Tools_5
You can use a free link cloaking tool like http://www.ultimatelinkcloaker.com/ and set up unique links for each link. Lux
