   Hi Derek,
   Finally, I searched the internet for about a week to find a good PPC tracking software that would allow me to trak at the keyword level. I could’t find it anywhere. I found your site, emailed you to see if it was possible with Prosper 202 to track my own products, not an affiliate products. 2 days later, you put up a video on your blog that shows exactly how to do it.

   Thank you so much. you save me hours and hours of research.

   Hey Emmanuel,

   You’re so welcome… Glad I could help out. This is a quick and easy way to start tracking your own products with Prosper202.

   I’m trying to build a nice questions and answers section for general ad tracking questions as well as Prosper202 tracking questions.

   Thanks for the comment, it very much appreciated.

   Hey, Derek

   Great Videos, You are the man!!!

   I wanted to set up the Prosper 202 and wanted to ask you a question?

   I understand the setting up the Ad Campaign and PPC Campaign. Tracking Codes on Landing Page and Thank You Page, because of your great videos.

   But, If you are just doing SafeLists Or Traffic Exchanges, how do you track that. Do You Need to Create A PPC Campaign For that. OR do you leave that in.

   I want to track SafeList, Traffic Exchanges, Article Marketing and so on.

   So I would appreciate the help on this issue.

   thanks,

   Hey Ray,

   Thanks man… I really appreciate it.

   I haven’t actually used Prosper202 for tracking Safe Lists or Traffic Exchanges, but it should work the same as tracking any web link with Prosper202. I can’t give away exactly how to do it yet, as I do cover it in the Prosper202 videos.

   Article Marketing is definitely covered in the Prosepr202 Videos.

   I’ll be releasing some more videos in the next couple of weeks once I get the new and updated Prosper202 video’s finished. In those released videos I’ll cover a simple technique for tracking web links, article marketing, and other cool stuff.

   Thanks again for the comment I really appreciate it.

   Hey Derek,

   Thanks so much for providing me this video. I had watched all your P202 videos, but when I needed a solution for my own offering/landing page, you provided me with this video that I hadn’t seen yet. VERY helpful.

   I was able to set everything up just as your video explained. I’m wondering, though, since I don’t actually have a PPC traffic source (I am only tracking articles from ezinearticles.com), is it really necessary to specify a PPC network (e.g. MSN)? For me it just clutters things up in Spy View. Searched keywords are not important for this type of campaign either, at least as far as MY goals are concerned.

   Thanks. You da Man!

   Hey Jim,

   You’re so welcome… I’ll be going even more in-depth in the new Prosper202 videos and there will be a series just for product owners too.

   Thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it…

   Well, I always recommend putting something in most of the fields in Prosper202. The exceptions being step #5 and #8 they’re optional and if you’re doing direct linking, step #4 isn’t needed either.

   So I would put something simple in there like EZA for the PPC traffic source and add an account as well… I just usually use my first name. I’ve noticed if you don’t use the necessary fields in P202, that sometimes your tracking doesn’t work quite right. So for me it’s better to be safe then sorry.

   As far as searched keywords, you don’t really need that with article tracking, but you can set it up like I show in the Prosper202 videos, that’s your choice. It’s not absolutely necessary to use the Searched keywords.

   I hope this helped…

   Thanks again for the comment,

   Hey Ray,

   You’re welcome…

   Thanks for the comment… I really appreciate it.

   Cool, Big G analytics and Stat Counter is a decent combo… I like real-time analytics so I use Piwik analytics with Prosper202 and Affiliate Prophet for most of my tracking needs.

   I’ll dig into Stat Counter when I get a chance. So far I’ve only checked out the website… LOL

   I’ll make sure and subscribe to your channel.

   Thanks again,

   Derek
