what does it do and what can i write in there? This field can be found at: Get Links : Text Link » Link Detail » Get HTML
SID is a way of tracking your link. For example, you have a link to a product or service and you've put the word, "blog" in the SID space. You post that link to your blog. Now, if a sale is made on that product or service, you can find where it was made. If that link with the SID "blog" shows up in your reports, you know the sale was made at your blog. It helps keep tracks of what works where and what doesn't. Throw out the bad and leave the good.
Oregon Coast Lover, Can you, or anyone else, please give us a quick explanation as to how we can set up a SID? Does it involve the Smartzone? And where in the reports is the SID info displayed? Some feedback will be appreciated.
When you initially find the link you are going to use, there will be a field asking for your SID. Type in whatever you want to identify that link. When you make a sale from it or run reports, you'll see the link with the SID attached. SmartZones are used to rotate different ads in one place. Different animal entirely.
I use SID to track where my visitors are coming from and the date the visited (so I know what kind of lag there is between purchases and referals).. So far it has been very valuable to me. I generate the SID dynamically based on the Date, and the referer. For Google adwords I even added the keywords to the SID. -JasonR -
