Which webpages are making you money?

Posted by bowdeni in affiliate marketing | Converting traffic | SEO Added November 22, 2011

Yesterday I generated four iGaming players from 15 clicks. That’s great, however with the data that was available to me, I had no idea which pages on my website was sending the clicks that were driving converting clicks.

I have event tracking labels on all of my outbound affiliate links, so in Google Analytics I can drill down to some level to understand what keywords and landing pages are driving those sales, but beyond that, on my affiliate portals, I cant tell which traffic my site gets actually converts.

So I thought, wouldn’t be great if I could see which pages on my affiliate website were the clicks that converted?

  1. On affiliate portals, create a different campaign URL for each of your main landing pages
  2. Cloak each URL using .htaccess
  3. Replace all of your outgoing links with variables
  4. In a PHP file, set a URL variable using the  $_SERVER function
  5. Write conditional statements that set the outgoing link based on matching the URL function
  6. BOOM!
Following this methodology, I can now break down my iGaming accounts and see of the pages that are driving clicks, which ones (and therefore what traffic) is actually making me sales.
