    Did the changes work for you? If not I will look at ur code & see what went wrong.



    Thanks for the help on the thread Jeremy!

    I will let you know if it works webgen. Nothing has converted since I have implemented the code, pretty bad day -- First cannot get the script working when I get conversions, then I potentially fix it and now it's not converting... AHHH!

    Thank you all for the generous help, and I will keep you updated.

    I am not sure if the code I posted before works or not..

    I think you need something like this:

    domain.com/index.php?ovkey={OVKEY}

    instead of:
    domain.com/index.php?{OVKEY}


    Try domain.com/index.php?ovkey={OVKEY} and see what happens..

    Just tried that as well. No dice...

    The thing I'm noticing is this:

    Even if I manually insert something as OVKEY, when I rollover the jump page link it looks like this:

    http://www.site.com/page.php?ovkey=se

    As I have assigned "SE" as the variable (if null) so I know the traffic came from a search engine.

    However, nothing is sending to the affiliates.

    don't put {OVKEY} or anything else, put only "domain.com", ysm will append all that auxiliar data for you when someone clicks your link in yahoo.

    then on your landing page (index.php) you will get this data with

    $search_query = urldecode($_GET['OVRAW']);
    $bidded_keyword = urldecode($_GET['OVKEY']);

    and do wherever you want to do with it.

    Very interesting, webgenesis. Although I am a supern00b and have been reading a lot I just started a thread here as well how to track conversions from affiliate networks (like cj.com in my example) because it's not really clear to me (yet).

    But before I need this information you've had provide in this thread I should start with my first Adwords campaign first I guess, right? To explorer my needs and probably this is a trick I am looking for. Or should I start this implementing in my first campaign as well?

    Anyway, keep up doing the good work. I like to read your posts and I hope I can learn a lot from you and others here.

    Figured it out. There were a few errors w/ punctuation, but I found a programmer and he did some troubleshooting and fixed it.

    Thanks for the help along the way everyone!

    Ok, I have studied this method and even for a newbie as me it seems do-able, but since I am promoting CJ affiliates, how should I do this since as far as I know there are no SUBID things.

    Help would really appreciated!

    Thanks

    Glad u finally got it working



    It'll be great to have you under me then at CPA Empire (LOL)... I am not certain how you do tracking with CJ... you might ask the people in the Comm. Junct. section of the forum.

    on azoogle you have subid, on cj sid so you must have something like http://www.xxxx.com/sdfsdfsdfsdf?sid=".$tracking_id; where $tracking_id is your keyword
