The key factor in the successful promotion of products is the ability to track and test your results.
If you can identify which ads or promotional methods are producing sales (as opposed to just website hits) then you can discard advertising that is not working and run more ads that are making you profits.
There is currently no tracking mechanism for both hits and sales in operation at ClickBank - so the ideal solution is to use an ad tracker as described below.
Note: The extra benefits of ad trackers are that they can do far more than simply track ads. See this article 23 Ways to use an Ad Tracker
For Publishers
Use an ad tracking program which can track an 'action' such as a sale. This is achieved by adding a line of tracking code to the thank-you page. See Ad Tracker FAQ for more information.For Affiliates
The solution for publishers (above) is not possible for affiliates as they cannot access the thank-you page. So you need to use an ad tracking program which can track events at a remote site.There are two trackers which can do this: all it needs is for the publisher to add one line of code to his site (they don't need to purchase the program) and it allows every affiliate to track their sales.
1. AdWatcher
2. AdTrackz
In November 2006 ClickBank introduced a tracking code which can be appended to a hoplink enabling a sale to be associated with a specific promotion.
