Noobie Conversion Tracking

[js9449875]

I did search but am still confused and sorry; I'd imagine this is a seriously newbie question. Anyway...

I run an affiliate driven website selling a few niche products through shareasale and avantlink. People click through my links and all the sales, etc are done on the merchant's website.

I use Google's analytics. Is there a way I can track conversions through analytics despite the sale occurring on another website?

I'm not a fan of using Google's Analytics - especially with affiliate marketing, but you can have the merchant place your Google pixel on the merchant's "thank you" page.

Thank you, I will ask them if that is something they'd be willing to do.

No problem.

Why don't you use something else for tracking rather than Google Analytics?

Second on the motion, I would not use GA. Too many info being given out already.

Easiest is pass some unique data in the Subid

I'm cheap, and it's free. But I'll search around for alternatives.

If they're not willing to do a pixel, the sub-ID is your second best option. I would look to see if Tracking202Pro integrates with ShareASale and Avantlink.
