It's taken them years but Clickbank have finally done it. They've added an extremely simple but incredibly powerful ad tracking feature. In this page, I'm going to show you how it works and how you can implement it to make more money promoting PDCash sites.

First of all I should say don't worry about your old affiliate hoplinks, they will continue to work. This is a powerful EXTRA feature you can now use if you wish to track where your sales come from specifically.

Why would you want to track ads?

• Well, if you have hoplinks on multiple pages of your site, by using this feature you can see exactly which page is sending the most sales, showing you what works and what doesn't.
• You can track hoplinks promoting the same product across multiple sites in your site network under the one Clickbank account.
• You can see which traffic sources are sending the sales.
• With a little work you can implement them into your PPC ad campaigns to show you which keywords are most profitable.
• And much more...

This is how to implement the simple 'tid' code, taken from Clickbank:

"The format of the hoplink URL with a tracking code is located below.

http://AFFILIATE.PUBLISHER.hop.clickbank.net?tid=XXXXXXXX

The tracking code (which is "XXXXXXXX" in the example above) can be 8 characters long, containing alpha and numeric characters only. Any tracking code longer than 8 characters will be truncated. Any tracking code containing characters other than alpha or numeric values will have the entire tracking code removed from the hoplink and order process and will not show in the transaction report. Tracking codes received with upper and lower case characters will be set to all uppercase."

So, as an example, if you are promoting our Conversation King site you would get the publisher account name from this page (cking) and plug it into the URL in the place of PUBLISHER. You'd replace AFFILIATE with your own clickbank ID and then you'd put your desired tracking code on the end replacing the XXXXXXXX.

So it might look like this:

http://youraffiliateid.cking.hop.clickbank.net?tid=convopg6

Now, when you send traffic through that link and make a sale, convopg6 will show up in the TID column in your Clickbank stats next to the sale - showing you where the sale came from. Very simple but very effective.
