Hi guys!
I am so, so happy! Just made my very first affiliate sale with Clickbank!

But here comes the question. I am promoting 3 different Clickbank merchants using Goggle AdWords. When I looked at my Clickbank stats I saw a sale made today, but it doesn't say from what merchant this sale is.

At first I wanted to match it by the amount of comission, but two of my merchants have products at excact same price and pay same comission. And on the merchants site there isno where to log in and track my sales.

Is there a way to identify what merchant made me a sale?

Good day to you all, Razz
Tanya

Hi Tanya,

The only way to do it correctly is to use a tracker of your links:

DynaTracker or NetTracker.

I use DynaTracker. They are very inexpensive $67 and you upload the tracking software to your server (where ever your web site is).

Not only will it track sales, but it will track the clicks from the PPC or anywhere else, you set up a new tracking code for each ad you have PPC or otherwise.

You'll figure out pretty quicly how some of your ads and time spent result in sales, where as other ads and time spent are a waste of time and money.

So you can stop doing the ones that aren't working and do more of what is working.

Good luck,

I've noticed the same thing. I wish ClickBank would tell people which product they managed to sell.

Like MikeHerman said though, it is best to use some sort of tracker. I'm not familiar with the one he mentioned, but another good one that I have used is HyperTracker.

Hi Tanya
You can check which merchant product that you generate the sales from your credit report as below

date time order# link profit referral ctry customer info
===== ===== ======== ==== ======== =============
11-02 16:42 *** 00 $ to MID US/AP MR. Y

The MID column is the merchant ID you promote. You can click on the MID and it will bring you to the merchant website by another click.

The lack of the tracking is one of the weak point of promoting CB product.

Mikeherman, thank you. i will definitely look into using this tracking, when i finally get enough courage to create my own website.

I am really grateful for your help guys. Is not it great that here you can ask a silly question and get a comprehensive answer Razz

Those individual sales stats seem to have disappeared. All I can see is a daily commissions total, with no links to click on for more detail.

Can anyone see individual stats now?

You need to go into the 'view debits and credits' ... set the date and # of days to view individual sales.

Thanks, Debs. Got it now!

I don't usually go into ClickBank. I just look at my daily sales in my RevTrends report.
