Ok, I so know how to track how many click throughs each individual keyword is getting on my landing page by installing conversion counter with YSM, but how can I track how many of those click throughs from the landing page to the affiliate page are leading to conversions?

Basically, I already know which keywords are getting a high CTR on my landing page. What I need to know is which of these keywords are actually giving me conversions.
 


php + mysql

you need a database with the keywords and turn those into subids for you offer...
 
or just have your AM install the conversion code from Yahoo or Google on the conversion page of the offer. Then you will be able to track the keywords that are converting right from your search engine console.
 
The long-ass-version way would be to make sure that each keyword lands on your page differently.

www.YourOffersPage.com/?keyword={keyword}

The {keyword} here would either be you ACTUALLY putting in the keyword in there manually or actually put the {keyword} text (yes exactly like it is between the words "the" and "text" there above) and (at least in google) the search engine will put the full keywords in there.

Then you actually pass that to the advertiser as a "sub id" or you md5 it (look it up, it's a silly way to quasi-encrypt it) and then pass it as your sub it.

These solutions (the pass it directly or md5 it) don't rely on too much programming and will work even if you don't have PHP or ASP or any kind of server side programming (you could do this in javascript)
 
the easiest is to use tracking202.com

you include their 1 Tracking URL for your keywords (use different ones for different prices)

and it gives you the COST & INCOME for each keywod..

Are you sure the keyword won't be "lost" so to speak? Because as far as I know, the conversion counter for Yahoo is meant to be placed on the destination page (landing page) and only works when placed there.

I researched this a bit further and came across a post on jonathanvolk.com, which said that for YSM, you put this code at the very top of your landing page source:

< ? (remove the space between the < and the ?)
$keyword=$_GET['OVKEY'];
?>
Click to expand...
and then you put this code at the end of your aff link as the sub id:

< ?=$keyword;?>
Click to expand...
But this didn't work so do you know if there is something I'm missing here? Thanks.
 
xtremeconversions.com is another option, it converts your incoming keywords into unique subids to send to the networks.
