I cant believe I cant find any information here on adwords keyword tracking. Its quite a basic question to ask. Dont people use PPC to drive traffic to Plimus products?
What are my options for tracking PPC traffic that is direct linked to an affiliate link on Plimus? I need to know the keywords that converted.
Is there a way to do it using adwords conversion tracker? Are there any third party products that I can use to do the tracking? Can I put my google tracking code on the Plimus order page?
There are 2 scenarios here.
Scenario 1 - I direct link from PPC to my Plimus affiliate link.
Scenario 2 - I link from PPC to my landing page... then to my Plimus affiliate link.
In both scenarios I NEED to know and track which PPC keywords converted into a sale.
I appreciate any help or guidance you can provide.
Tracking AdWords
We are shortly about to provide full support for Tracking Ids in a forthcoming product update, but in the meantime you can easily do this by adding a string to your BuyNow Parameters such as &Tid=MyKeywords where MyKeywords is replaced by the identifying adwords you are tracking.
This string will then appear in your sales reports and you can assess performance by examining the relevant sales stats.
Buynow parameter settings are accessed on the Contract Information set up page. More general information about them here..
