One of my biggest hangups in being efficient with PPC is finding a viable solution for tracking my conversions through keywords. Figuring out which work best will help me cater my sites more to those specific keywords and in turn will help me keep a higher QS and overall have sites more relevant to the winning phrases.

My knowledge of PHP/MySQL is very limited so that rules out creating my own system for doing this.

While I know that I can use the /index.php?key=[keyword] method of sending myself this information I have no viable way of parsing this data and making solid conclusions about individual keywords.

Can any of you recommend a 3rd party script to help with this? The searching I did on here for conversion tracking was fairly unhelpful for me.
 


clicktracks seems like the best available option out there but $300/month is pretty steep for someone like me

perhaps i would be better off just having something like this freelanced
 
Well, the simplest way I can think of would be to do something like the following. I'm going to use AdWords -> a Copeac offer as an example but you should be able to do this from any PPC source with keyword insertion and any CPA network with subid tracking.

Put the keyword in your destination url like you mentioned yoursite.com/index.php?key={keyword} or whatever their format is. Then just use that key variable as your subid like so:
PHP: 
<a href="http://copeac/offer/url/<? echo urlencode($_GET["key"]);?>/">Waste your money here.</a>
The urlencode migth be unnecessary...Hopefully Google is smart enough not to break your links if there's weird characters in the keyword.

Now you can track the subids at Copeac and let them handle the data for you. I think you have to click "Download Additional Info" or something similar.

I personally haven't used the software myself but the creator of XtremeConversions posts frequently on Wealthy Affiliate forums and he let a few beta test it .... those who did said it worked really well and found it very useful (I agree I hate that sales copy).
 
To answer my own question :D

After more research I came across 3 products that can do what I need. Just posting this information here in case some other person comes along lookin for the same sort of thing.

(no affil links here)

AxRoi - One time $99/multiple sites

TrackPoint - One time $239/single site

AdWatcher - $30/month when you host it yourself

Of the above three im probably going with AxRoi simply because it seems like the best all around solution. Second place goes to AdWatcher due to its built-in click fraud tracking.

If anyone out there has any experience with the above products and want to throw their 2c in feel free!
