Sorry it took so long to respond.

Setting up the tracking isn’t very hard once you’ve done it a few times. As with anything new, it can be hard to get your head around in the beginning.

Are you using Prosper202 for your tracking? Or using something like the built-in MSN tracking?

Since these are Clickbank products the MSN tracking is built into Clickbank. Might make things a little easier the first time around. Clickbank doesn’t offer a generic tracking capability or tracking pixel like most affiliate networks. So the only other way is Subid tracking which is a little more manual as you need to pull conversion reports and update your Prosper202 server.

I honestly prefer using Prosper202 but that’s just me. It’s a little more tedious to setup, but I like protecting my data as most Clickbank product owners are marketers too. If you give them your campaign data, they just may steal it from you. Not always but it does happen.

I hope that helps out some. Once I know where you are and what you want to use for tracking, it’s a little easier to answer this question.

Thanks for stopping by,

You can install Prosper202 on one domain and use it for all of your tracking. As long as you’re using landing pages then no redirect is needed within the destination URL.

If you want to track landing page CTR, then you use the step #6 redirect code for the click-through link itself, not the tracking link.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks for the comment,

I need to track all my paid traffic with prosper 202.

I have 5 different domain, I need to install 5 times prosper202?

or can i install p202 in 1 domain ex: trackallproduct.com ?

i ask this because i need my tracking link without redirect ex: product1 http://www.product1.com/? product2 http://www.product2.com/? etc..

thanks

Well, I haven’t tested this out myself… I guess I need to do a case study similar to this setup and get it working well so I can do a video on it.

As long as you’re doing manual conversion updates of Prosper202 (subid reports and update tab in P202) you can probably use a P202 direct link to the affiliate offer and make that the go to link within Aweber.

That should allow you to use Aweber to create the list and track opt-ins as well as Prosper202 to track your affiliate offer conversions.

I’ll put together a case study for this type of scenario and do some testing and see if I can come up with a better way to track using both.

I hope that helps out…

Thanks,

Derek

I am a little confused about using Prosper202 with Aweber. I will be using PPV which will show my landing page based on select URLs chosen by the user. On the landing page I have a Aweber web form with a email opt-in. Once the user chooses to opt-in, he is taken directly to the affiliate offer without confirmation. Both Aweber and Prosper202 have affiliate link submission. Prosper202 has the subids which I will need to use for tracking. However, I do want the capability of list building from AWeber software. How do I specify the affiliate link page so that sales conversions are tracked in Prosper202 but list building is allowed in AWeber. I can use either tool individually, but when I combined them, I don’t know how the subids are carried through from Prosper202 to AWeber. Thanks.

Don

Do you send the visitors that opt-in to a confirmation page or straight to the affiliate offer? Assuming you’re doing double opt-ins of course. Or is it after they confirm that you send them to the affiliate offer.

If the affiliate offer supports Subid’s than you should be able to track conversions… You can setup Prosper202 for direct link tracking and use that link for your redirect in Aweber. So when they opt in, Aweber re-directs them to your Prosper202 direct link which redirects them to the affiliate offer.

Then when you get conversions you can run a report and update Prosper202 manually. It’s a little tedious but it should work.

I hope that helps out…

Thanks,

Derek

Here is my setup. I am using AWeber for a email list generator and have a landing page in which the opt-in for the email list directs to an affiliate’s page that lists the product. (As an incentive to opt-in I provide a free ebook, newsletter, and link back to my website). My question is: Can I use Prosper202 to track conversions at the affiliate’s page whenever the visitor buys the product. Thanks.

Don

If you’re using the latest version of Prosper202 1.6.1, then you no longer need to add the ‘?’…

You link can be normal because in the latest versions 1.5+ there are place holders now. So it no longer automagically adds a number to the end of your link.

So your link can be http://meditatie-muziek.com/pagina1/

and you’ll be good to go.

I hope that helps out…

Do I just add the question mark after the slash or do I loose the slash?

Thank you… I’m glad the video helped out.

It is possible to do a simple A/B split test, but this is generally not the best way to do it because you really have no control whether the same customer see’s a different page or not.

So What you do is create 2 different landing pages and 2 different campaigns in Prosper202… Name the campaigns something that makes sense – A and – B…

This will be your A / B split test… The reason is so you can create a campaign specific tracking pixel, Advanced Fire.

Then setup both pages and create a campaign specific tracking pixel, one for each page and place both pixels on your thank you page.

That way you can see which page is working best for you. The campaign specific tracking pixels will provide more accurate results.

I hope that helps out…

Thanks,

Derek

Great video!

I was able to set up everything just great. I did want to do a simple a/b split test. I think it must be possible no?
If I am to create 2 different LP with the method above and send them to the same tracking pixel will I be able to get an idea of which page converts best? Or do I need to do something more?

Timmy

Awesome… Glad to see you back. I really appreciate it.

I’m not sure exactly what the question is… I’ll do my best.

The tracking pixel is just an image that gets loaded when someone completes the conversion process. You can create it in step #8 of Prosper202… and place it on your thank you page. It allows you to get automagic conversion data in Prosper202.

Destination URL is your tracking link, you create that in step #7 of Prosper202.

And the Dynamic Keyword Insertion (DKI) at the end of your tracking URL… Say for instance in Adwords, you can use DKI to add the searched keyword to your PPC ad. Well you can use that same DKI to add the keyword to your tracking link. That’s how Prosper202 can pickup which keywords are tracked.

Now this will vary on different PPC and even PPV engines.

I hope that helps out…

Thanks for stopping by,

Derek

Ray back again, I have another question, when you put the keyword insertion at the end of the url, like it shows in the videos.

Get Postback Pixel…

How does that work?

Destination Url

[keyword]

So when you put this end of the Url, You keep the end like this after
kw=

So it will give you a list of keywords to track?

That is the confusing part!

Thank you… I’m glad it helped out.

I just wanted to keep the video simple so product owners can get setup. I need to update this video… with the latest version of Prosper202 things have changed a little bit.

The advanced stuff is more difficult to setup and test out. That’s why I kept this one simple. It’s stuff like setting up flow testing and buynow link CTR, and other things like that. It’s really common sense, but hard to get your head around sometimes. You really need to understand how Prosper202 works to integrate some of these things.

And it all depends on what you’re trying to measure and accomplish too… Some folks are happy with just conversion tracking… I personally want a little more data than that.

The biggest pitfalls are not setting things up correctly and especially not testing everything out thoroughly before spending money on traffic. It’s in your best interest to map out each campaign and setup checklists and / or mind maps for each traffic source and landing page so you don’t make mistakes.

You need to get the correct code on the correct pages and verify your tracking is working correctly, that’s huge.

And incidentally that’s where most folks make their mistakes, especially on more difficult campaign setups. It’s easy to want to move fast and just get it done… but that can cost you a small fortune too.

One of the biggest downsides to Prosper202 is the manual setup process. It can be time consuming with larger campaigns.

Thanks for leaving a comment I really appreciate it.
