Here is my problem: I have a page on one of my sites with some CJ links that do pretty well with the natural traffic that i get - so I want to create an Adwords campagin to drive some targeted traffic to this page. I want to be able to keep the sales that come from Adwords seperate from the sales I get from my natural traffic. I can use a different page/domain, but it seems that CJ lumps all my sales together. I there some way to keep the sales separate for tracking purposes?
if you use a different page/domain, why not just set up different sid on the page/domain and while you are at it set up taking the keyword from referring url and putting in the sid so you can track adwords by keyword
Its an option, can choose while getting the code from CJ, in the code popup window lookout for SID option and type relevant keywords, for ex. if you're going to advertise on adwords, type adwords on the SID and update the code... now whenever a lead or sales happens you can see the keyword adwords under the SID on your CJ report.. but I doubt, whether SID is available for every product, check it with your advertiser.. hope this helps..
I've been tracking by inserting the specific keyword into the SID so I know exactly which keywords are converting. You can do this if your landing page is php by having your URL in adwords go to www.domain.com/index.php?kw={keyword} By putting "{keyword}" into the URL adwords dynamically inserts the actual keyword. This way you pass the keyword as a PHP variable, then in the SID on the landing page insert this code into the SID like so: Now you've dynamically inserted the keyword clicked on into your SID. And a whole new world of adwords optimization opens up for you!
