how can i track which keywords are converting into leads? i think you have to use the subid for your keyword or somthing, can someone explain how to go about doing this?
 


what php code do i have to use? i dont know much about php but if someone tells me what to do i will be able to do it
 
You can create a database yourself and use sub-id's but I don't know how to do that. I use keyword radar, and you just install a javascript code they provide and paste it on your page. It's very simple to setup and really good customer service.
 
BlueYam1234,

Which affiliate network or advertiser are you working with? They should have instructions on how to go about doing this since it gets a bit tricky with PHP and all.

The concept is relatively straightforward though, although a bit harder to implement especially if you don't have a background in PHP. Essentially, if for example you were bidding on the keyword "blue yam" and that corresponded to a subid of 12345abc, your link from Google or Yahoo or wherever would link to your landing page with this subid as the parameter. For example, if your landing page was being hosted at http://www.blueyam1234.com, then you would use the following URL:

http://www.blueyam1234.com/?subid=12345abc

You would need to read the value of this parameter into a variable for the user session and upon conversion, you would have it inserted into your conversion tracking database.
 
yea i understand how its SUPPOSED to work, i just dont know how to get it to work lol


im using copeac
 
through our interface you can purchase Direct Tracks bid management tool. There is a blue image in the right hand corner, when you log in, if you click on that you can gain access to their interface which integrates with our network.

You can also use some of the free tools out there such as the one smaxor has on his blog
