Promoting offers

[media-guy]

Say I'm promoting an offer through organic search and its getting around ~1000 uniques a day, but what if I wanted to promote that through pay per click how could I actually track my conversions the affiliate manager told me I couldn't or wouldn't allow the code to be interested on there pages which is crock is there any way to just break it down.

what network is this? most will allow you to put your Yahoo/Google Pixel on the offer

If not search for tracking "keyword conversions" and you'll get a buncha threads on how to DIY. I use Keyword Radar but, many people won't recommend due to it being hosted on their server but, I'm not up to that level so it doesn't effect me at this time.

I'm admittedly a little confused by the question. Anywho, if you are wanting to break down advertising clicks, why don't you just create different links via sub id's for each different one.

Its very simple to do with php/mysql. I am not experienced with either and I was still able to code my own script from scratch. Here's a step by step to doing it with adwords:

1. Make the url you send visitors to www.yourdomain.com/index.php?kw={keyword}

2. Add this code to your index.php:

<?php
$db_host = "localhost";
$db_user = "your_database_username";
$db_pw = "your_database_password";
$db_name = "your_database_name";
mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pw);
mysql_select_db($db_name);
$keyword=$_GET["kw"];
mysql_query("INSERT INTO 'your_database_table' ('keyword') VALUES ('$keyword')");
?>

I'm going from memory but I'm pretty sure that's how it's done. I've never done it with yahoo or microsoft ppc, but all you'd need to change is the {keyword} in the url to whatever variables they use.

Yea I could do that, but thats tracking the same thing adwords is I'd have to have that on the actual merchant sites I need to know whos actually converting into a sale and rather it came from PPC or organic search

You really need to spend more time learning this game before jumping into it. I'm only saying this for your benefit.
