How Do I Setup Keyword Conversion Tracking

It's easy... just follow these instructions below and your keywords WILL track! If you have any problems, see our Conversion Tracking Troubleshooting Section.

Step 1:

Click on "My Affiliate / PPC Programs" on the "Stats" tab and enter in your login details for your Affiliate and PPC Programs.


Step 2:

You'll need to let StatsJunky download all of your PPC stats before you can use "PPC Stats" tab, including the "Keyword Tracking Setup" wizard,

You'll see a green checkmark next to your PPC program when its finished updating like in the example below:

Below is a list of the icons and their meaning:

Icon Meaning Should You Report This?
Downloading Stats No, it's doing its job
Download Complete Yes, if the data is wrong
Password Incorrect No, check your login details
Needs Repair No, we already know about it
Refresh Yes, If this persists after refreshing

If you need to report an error, you can do so via the Self Help Support Section


Step 3:

You run the wizard by clicking on "Keyword Tracking Setup" on the "PPC Stats" Tab.

 


Step 4:

You can select the entire PPC Engine, or specific Campaign, or Specific Ad Group and click "Submit"

If you have already run the wizard and uploaded your keywords, then those keywords won't show up in the wizard by default. 99% of the time you will only prorcess them once. But if there is an error and you want to update your keywords you previously processed, then tick the box next to "Include Keywords Already Processed"

Click the Submit Button

 


Step 5:

StatsJunky needs to know which type of link you're using so that it can assign the appropriate tracking code. It's imperative that you do this correct, or your links will not track. Don't sweat it tho... it's very easy.

On this next step of the wizard you'll see your PPC's "Current Destination URL". You need to select whether you're PPC's "Current Destination URL" are going to a Landing Page or Direct to an Affiliate Program.

Here's an easy way to tell the difference:

Direct to an Affiliate Program:

Use this when your links in the PPC are your actual affiliate links that take you directly to the affiliate product.

Example: http://yourid.djkshadow.hop.clickbank.net/

Make sure that you select the correct affiliate program in the pull down menu. Each one uses a different code.

If you're affiliate program is not in the pull down on the Wizard page, then you're site is not supported yet. Simply Click here to add it.

 

Landing Page:

Select Landing Page if your ads point to your website where you have your affiliate links.

If you select this option, there are additional steps to complete:

Step 6:

Once you have finished selecting the link types for each of your URL's, then click Export My Data to save your updated Keyword Destination URL's.

 


Step 7:

Important Note: StatsJunky pulls out your existing campaigns from the PPC engines, and then appends the unique value to each keyword. The wizard then provides an exported file that you can re-upload into the PPC engine with the updated keyword destination URL's..

We will be looking into adding some keyword generation tools in the next phase of StatsJunky, but for now you're campaigns must already exist. That is why you need to wait for StatsJunky to finish downloading your PPC program before you can run the wizard the first time.

Each PPC has a unique file format needed so that the uploads work properly. StatsJunky knows which PPC you used and will provide it in the correct format. If you try and upload it and it does not accept your format, please contact us and let us know..

Yahoo Import: You must be a Gold Member in Yahoo before you can use their Import tool. We recommend contacting Yahoo and asking them to update your URL's for you. We are currently working on a new export format for Yahoo and should have a new one soon.

Adwords Import:Watch this video on how to import using Adwords Editor.

AdCenter Import: Just follow these steps:

1. Once you login to your account name

 

2. Click Import and import the file you saved from the wizard

 

3. Click Browse to load the file and then click the button to the right to load the file.
