Okay:

I get the code part that we add to every link.

Lets say that you buy a product “X” through my site every month. How do I register you a a loyal customer through my site?

you are client number 123

There has to be a way for you to log in and register through my site with number 123 before you buy through a commission junction link with my site.

I dont get the dynamic part. How and where do I get you to tell my site to tell CJ that your number is 123?

Whew.

Thanks

I gotta say that creating such a plugin would be really cool. I’ll start working on this tonight.

I’ll email you when the first version’s ready.

That’s correct Stephane! You hit the jackpot If anyone has a basic knowledge in PHP and MySQL can create a small script that can track your keywords converstions easily (and if you want to try to create one I will be more than happy to test it as well). What about creating a plugin to wordpress blog and making a small statistic in the admin panel so those that use their blogs to sell with affiliates can track the keywords conversions? (great idea no?)

Hey GoogleLady, great post as usual. I get most of my offers through CJ and was actually wondering how to add a tracker.

On a similar note, can you confirm me that you can track the keyword searched by your visitor on Google when they clicked on your add by using {keyword} in the destination URL?

http://www.mywebsite.com/landingpage.php?keyword={keyword}

If this is true then you could store these keywords into a database:

and then append the keyword’s record key (let’s say that ‘dog breeding’ refers to record #11) to your CJ affiliate link:

Does that make sense?

Hello Viv,
I don’t thing that the clicks have something to do here, but there are some advertiser that looks at the EPC (earn per click). I had a similar issue with netfirms, they said that I had too many clicks but no conversion. The best thing to do is to email the affiliate manager of that program and ask directly what is the problem. A question, you still are an affiliate with them? or they terminated you?

Hi I came across this post and thought I would ask you if you can help me with a problem I have had with one of the advertisers on cjunction- Fulcrum gallery. They wrote me an email saying I was not affiliated or allowed to put an ad on my site – I had signed up with them perfectly legally and had recieved a welcome letter from them when I first joined them some months back- do you think they are trying to get out of paying me because I was getting too many clicks?reply appreciated
