Today, I just did paid private consultation with one member James (real name omitted) about his campaigns.
He could not figure out why he was having so much trouble.
After turning on some stats, it hit me SMACK MIDDLE.
He did not track at all.
$800, $900, $10,000 rolls down your affiliate costs like that….
This is why I tell so many entry level affiliates to use conversion tracking.
Here’s a quick time… and I don’t care if you use landing pages or not. This costs nothing but 30 seconds of your time.
Go into your ad groups, make sure you click on “Customize Columns” and then turn on Quality Score, Conversion Number, and any other stats you feel will illuminate for you.
It’s a wise thing to start early …. and will save you a ton of headaches down the line.
I know I know… Some of you are thinking…. “Geez, I don’t need that” … be prepared for a rude awakening when changes come.
I personally go even a step further to track sales per time interval and commissions earned ROI…..
