Here's my problem I have about 6 different adwords groups, that need to be in seperate groups. Currently they all link to the same landing page from which I have my affiliate links. I need to somehow pass the adword keyword referrer ID into my affiliate tracking using the &sub=**** code, but have no idea how to. At the moment I am making money off the campaign, but have no idea which ad groups are the ones converting! So if someone has a conversion tracking software, or system they can recommend that would be good. Thank you!
Google Analytics goal tracking was designed just for that, though I haven't tried it since I don't use adwords but it's worth a try. Thank You
Analytics will not insert a &sub=**** code (based on the adwords keyword) onto the end of every affiliate link on my page - thats what I need.
Hi I'm not sure if it can do exactly what you want, but have you tried google analytics? I've heard getting an invitation code lasts just few days now, and it offers also conversion tracking possibilities. At least it's worth trying(it is free service). If you want to track these campaigns from affiliate tracking software, it must have either feature for it (sub-id reports), or you can create separate affiliate account for each adword group.
this can be easily done based on the reffering url. It won't work 100% because theres some traffic that has refferers blocked
Reftrack is probably what you're after. It's specifically designed for affiliates wanting to know what ads and keywords convert. As Entrep says Google Analytics won't do that. You'll need to do a search for reftrack, it comes up on the first page.
Program a quick and dirty CGI or PHP script that just passes on the query of the PHP script to the affiliate link. If you want to track keyword by keyword, you can do this. Link your ads to http://www.yoursite.com/landing.php?site={Dynamic Keyword} On landing.php, automatically append "?sid={Dynamic Keyword}" to each affiliate link. Normal conversion tracking software doesn't work like this.
