Keyword tracking for clickbank affilates looks like any keyword tracking at first glance: There are the good (those bringing you sales), the bad (those bringing visitors that were looking for something else and the ugly (bringing visitors that re interested in your stuff but don’t buy). And you can of course find out about the keywords your visitors used by having a look in your webserver log files or by using google analytics. But as soon as the question “Did they buy” is touched you are facing a  problem: The sale is done on the vendors site and you can’t measure those sales on an affiliate site.

Clickbank gives us one feature that can be used to categorize our links and distinguish different sources of visitors – that is the clickbank TID. But assigning TIDs to all our different links is tedious work and and to be honest – this is only a rough measure: Now I know from which page or paragraph or email campaign my buyers came, but please – can we have a little bit more detail?

Yes you can: With WP TID Generator your wordpress site becomes a little smarter for AffiliateMarketing: Once you install the Plugin all your outgoing links will be sporting a dynamically created TID that corresponds to the keyword that your visitor searched for in google or other search engines. This means you can just look up in your clickbank analytics what the keyword was that lead to a certain sale.

Now imagine what happens if you find out all the keywords that are sitting somehwere on page two of google and are giving you sales nevertheless. You can start with efective SEO for those keywords and push them to page one of google. Would that make a difference to your bottom line? I bet it does.
