Tracking ID is an optional and very useful feature in this program.
( If you are new to Clickbank and Internet Marketing, do not get confused with tracking IDs. They are just an optional feature for advanced members.)
You can use any trackind id for your CBTopSites Clickbank Mall, Search Results and Clickbank Ads.
So, you can Track Sales using this Tracking id and identify these sales in your Clickbank account transaction search page.
for example see the image below:
If you find any other thing under 'TID' in your Clickbank account, that means,
you have got that money through your cbtopsites.com Mall, Search Results or Ads.
This feature will be useful if you promote Clickbank products through other means also.
In the order form of the sites in your Mall, you will notice at the bottom:
[affiliate=yourclickbanknickname.TRACKINGid]
instead of
[affiliate=yourclickbanknickname]
This tracking id will help you understand how many sales you are getting through your CBbtopSites mall, Search Results or Ads.
You can use different tracking Ids with your links.
If you have pasted your cbtopsites mall links, search box or Ads in several places, you can understand from where you are getting sales.
You can also use different tracking ids for different promotional methods and track sales in your Clickbank account.
Tracking id can be of maximum 24 characters in length. ( alphabets / numbers)
For example, if you are promoting using google adwords, you can use your mall link with tracking id like this:
http://cbtopsites.com/r/YourCBNickname&tid=GoogleAd
and if you wish to paste your Mall link on your site, you can use link like this:
http://cbtopsites.com/r/YourCBNickname&tid=mysite
And, if you make sales using these links, you can find 'GOOGLEAD' or 'MYSITE' under TID in your Clickbank account Transactions page.
If you wish to use tracking id for search pages, this is the format :
http://cbtopsites.com/search/YourClickbankNickname/KEYWORDS&tid=TRACKINGID
Replace TRACKINGID in the above link with any word or number.
Similarly, You can use Tracking IDs with your CBTopSites Search Box and Ads.
If you would like to use tracking Ids, you have to get your code again at:
http://cbtopsites.com/affiliates/cbadscode.php
and
http://cbtopsites.com/affiliates/searchbox.php
Also you should replace your old links with new link formats with Trackind ids.
Advantages of Tracking Ids:
1) You can track sales. You can identify from which link or from which search box or Ads you have made sales.
2) You can count the number of clicks received by sites in your Links, Search Results or Ads.
For example, if you have pasted CBTopSites Clickbank Ads on one of your sites and used a tracking Id 'Site1'.
Then, you can find the number of clicks received by sites in your Ads very easily.
You can login to your Clickbank account http://clickbank.com/ and find the number of clicks in your 'Analytics' page.
As an affiliate, the tracking code enhancement provides the power to track and manage your campaigns by tying a specific sale back to the promotion that initiated it. The tracking code is implemented throughout the ClickBank system as "tid". The format of the HopLink URL with a tracking code is located below.
http://AFFILIATE.VENDOR.hop.clickbank.net?tid=zzzzz
In order for the feature to work properly, you must adhere to these standards during its implementation. The tracking code value, which is "zzzzz" in the example above, can be 24 characters long, containing alpha and numeric characters only. Any value longer than 24 characters will be truncated. Any value containing characters other than alpha or numeric will have the entire tracking code value removed from the HopLink, order process and, will not show in the transaction report. Tracking code values received with lower case characters will be set to all uppercase. The tracking code parameter, which is "tid" in the example above, must be lower case.
