Can someone please explain to me how to track PPC campaigns that are focused on getting Clickbank sales?
Why don't use just use the tid clickbank give, you can get it by entering a tracking code whenever you are trying to get your affiliate link for a product
simply add a tid key: ?tid=ad1 to the end of your hoplink, and then you can see that info in your clickbank analytics and be able to tell which ads are performing
If you are using direct linking, then simply make a specific url for each keyword or group of similar keywords, and add a tracking ID as jj407 said, to your Clickbank hoplink. Or you can create a different adgroups, and add specific destination url for each adgroup. However, if you are using your own landing page, then I think you will need to use Google Analytics.
This is how you can track sales. Is there a way to track clicks for a direct linking campaign? (i.e. without a website) KJ
If you direct link, then just add an tid for each separate ad, if you're using a landing page, use this simple PHP code on your landing page to track your clicks. This goes at the top: <?php $seedvar=$_GET['id']; ?> PHP: After that, in the landing page HTML code, when you're gonna place hyperlinks use the following code: <a href="http://clickbankid.cbproduct.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=<?php echo $seedvar;?>">Product Name </a> In order to track your keywords, you're gonna add ?id=keywordnumber after the link to your landing page. You're gonna put a different number for every different keyword For Example: Keyword #1 - How to play football (redirects to) http://www.yourpage.com/index.php[B]?id=1[/B] When you do this, 1 should appear as the tracking number. Keyword #2 - Best way to play football (redirects to) http://www.yourpage.com/index.php[B]?id=2[/B] Keyword #3 - Where to play football (redirects to) http://www.yourpage.com/index.php[B]?id=3[/B] etc. Save and Close the file, upload it to your server as index.php, and try it out.
