A Real ClickBank Secret, at Least For Me
Posted on January 23rd, 2009 in Affiliate Marketing, PPC "clickbank secret", google conversion tracking, keywords
I was recently discussing, with my business partner, some ClickBank products we are going to promote soon via Adwords and Yahoo Search PPC campaigns. We were talking about mundane stuff, like using some WordPress Templates for landing pages, for eventual organic traffic, hopefully, keyword targeting (hint: use “longtail” keywords, 3 or more words, they produce more targeted clicks and cost less……..that’s a post in itself…..coming soon!) and other exciting stuff.
Anyway, when we got to the subject of conversion tracking, she said something I didn’t know you could do, She’s got a lot more experience online than me. What she said was, that we could have our Google conversion code implanted into a ClickBank publishers “payment confirmation” page. This way we can track which keyword or ad group converts best into actual sales. Which can certainly help drive down your PPC costs over a long campaign. It should be used especially during first stage split testing and continued through out the campaign.
I did not know this!!….I told you I’m still a “semi-newbie”…..
Apparently, the more established publishers even have this feature automated from their website’s affiliate page. Also, from what she told me, you can usually request by email, to publishers who don’t automate the process, to have your conversion code included into their payment confirmation pages.
