Customize Your Affiliate Link
ClickBank Affiliate ID (required):	Your ClickBank Affiliate ID is required. For more information about ClickBank and Affiliate IDs, please see the ClickBank Affiliate FAQ page. To create your Affiliate ID, please visit the ClickBank Signup Form.
ClickBank Tracker ID (optional):	Your ClickBank Tracker ID (TID) is optional. As an affiliate, a ClickBank TID provides the power to track and manage your campaigns by tying a specific sale back to the promotion or site that initiated it. For example, you can track which sites or PPC campaigns are generating sales by using TIDs. For more information about ClickBank TIDs, please see the ClickBank Tracker ID FAQ page. *Affiliate ID is required and must be between 5 and 10 characters long. *Please use alphanumeric characters only. *Tracker IDs must be no more than 8 characters long.

Basic Affiliate Link (with no special tracking added):

Verify That Your Affiliate Link Is Working - Click Here!

Just replace "NICKNAME" with your Clickbank ID. (It is not necessary to CAPITALIZE the letters.) For example, if your Clickbank ID was "johndoe" (without quotes), your completed link would look like this:

http://johndoe.phonesrch.hop.clickbank.net

If you don't have a Clickbank ID or account setup yet, click here to sign up.

Clickbank Custom TID Tracking:

Advanced Link Tracking Tutorial - Click Here!

Clickbank allows you to pass a "TID" tracking code along with your affiliate link. This tracking ID will appear next to its corresponding sales in your Clickbank account.

Replace "NICKNAME" with your Clickbank nickname. Then replace "XXXXXX" with a tracking ID of your choice (it can be 1 - 8 characters). You can use as many tracking ID's as you'd like.

So if your Clickbank nickname was "johndoe" and your tracking code was "ppc", your completed link would look like this:

http://johndoe.phonesrch.hop.clickbank.net?tid=ppc

For more information about Clickbank "hoplinks", consult the Clickbank FAQ page.

Google Conversion Tracking:

How To Track Conversions With Google Adwords - Click Here!

We offer an automated way to insert your Google conversion code into our thank you page. Sales will be tracked within your Google Adwords interface at the keyword level. No additional work required!

Replace "NICKNAME" with your Clickbank nickname. Then replace "XXXXXX" with your Google conversion ID. (It won't be 6 digits.)

Here's how to find this conversion ID within your Google Adwords account:

1. From the "Campaign Management" tab in Adwords, click "Conversion Tracking".
2. Then click "Get conversion page code".
3. Choose "Purchase/Sale", then select a text format and color (this step doesn't matter).
4. Finally you should see a text box of code that looks like this:

<!-- Google Code for purchase Conversion Page --> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- var google_conversion_id = 1065559431; var google_conversion_language = "en_US"; var google_conversion_format = "1"; var google_conversion_color = "666666"; if (1) { var google_conversion_value = 1; } var google_conversion_label = "purchase"; //--> </script> <script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <noscript> <img height="1" width="1" border="0" src="http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/1065559431/?value=1&label=purchase&script=0" /> </noscript>

Select the digits from the line: var google_conversion_id

For example, in the box above, the Google conversion ID is 1065559431. So if your Clickbank nickname was "johndoe", your completed link would look like this:

http://johndoe.phonesrch.hop.clickbank.net?gid=1065559431

To learn more about Google conversion tracking, consult the Google Adwords help center or visit our automated link builder here.

Multiple Trackers Combined:

It's easy to create a link that integrates both Google Adwords conversion tracking and Clickbank custom TID's.

Replace "NICKNAME" with your Clickbank nickname. Then insert your Clickbank tracking ID into the "tid" variable and your Google conversion ID into the "gid" variable.

So if your Clickbank nickname was "johndoe" and your Google conversion ID was 123456, your completed link would look like this:

http://johndoe.phonesrch.hop.clickbank.net?tid=email&gid=123456

Yahoo Conversion Tracking:

You can easily incorporate Yahoo conversion tracking into your link structure by clicking here.

Unfortunately, we can't add Yahoo conversion tracking code directly to our checkout page because of Yahoo technical limitations (Yahoo can't handle multiple tracking pixels on the same checkout page...). Therefore, the ONLY way to track your Yahoo campaign is to use our automated link builder.

Other Conversion Tracking:

Want to use conversion or campaign tracking code that's not covered here? No problem! Just visit our automated link builder here.

If you don't see your chosen PPC platform, just send an email to affiliates@reversephonedetective.com with your conversion code and any important details. We'll add your code to our website and make sure everything is working properly.
