    Hi,

    I'm not sure how to track keywords in my landing page.
    I have 20 different keywords, all target to 1 landing page.

    So if I manage to sell an item, how to I know which keyword is the converting one?

    Before hand I used to do direct linking, just add /?tid=xxxx to my keywords. Now I'm not sure how ...

    Thanks!

    Set up conversion tracking in Adwords - this will tell you which of your KWs have generated any conversions

    Thks so much! So I just go to
    Define Action & Conversion Page > Insert Code

    Just copy and paste the codes to </body>, that's it?
    Then where do I see which keywords converted? At Adwords accounts?

    Thanks so much for your help!

    no probs - just do exactly what you just said - then go to your campaign management and you'll start to see your conversions in one of the columns (it'l tell you how many conversions in campaign level, then just drill down to find conversions per keyword). They do take up to 24 hours to appear though...

    This only works if you are the merchant.

    However, if you are only an affiliate and your landing page is a pre-sell page or a review page, you need to pass on the tid to the affiliate link.

    For this your page needs to be .php
    On your landing page read the parameter tid from the URL and append it to the affiliate link.
