ok, for the clickbooth example: you would rearrange the querystring paramaters a bit to be like this:

http://www.clickboothlnk.com/e/?enc=randomoffer&deployid=0&land=0&pid=0&optionalinfo=

optionalinfo= is now at the end. There is nothing after the equals sign so the script will append the keyword to it.

Now for the Hydra example:

You would have to rearrange the querystring paramaters again and make sure there is nothing after the equals sign for the keyword or subid) part…

http://example.com/product.php?ppc=yahoo&s=

Here’s a site from the Tracking202 guys that explains subids perfectly with examples for the major networks:

http://subids.com/

I’m here if ya have more questions. good luck

I would use the following:
http://example.com/product.php?s=keyword
as my destination URL for my PPC traffic?

If I wanted to insert the search engine as well, would it then become:
http://example.com/product.php?s=keyword&ppc=yahoo

If I’m using a Clickbooth offer with the following link:
http://www.clickboothlnk.com/e/?enc=randomoffer&optionalinfo=&deployid=0&land=0&pid=0

How would I append that to identify the keyword? I know optionalinfo=
is where the keyword is tracked.

Thanks!

say you have a keyword “keyword”

and your URL is:
http://example.com/product.php

if you set ‘append keyword as sub id’ to true then it will break, see below:

you will end up with http://example.com/product.phpkeyword

but if you change the URL and prepare it for the SUBID (or keyword) to be appended it will work…all affiliate networks are different so you might change the URL to be something like:

http://example.com/product.php?subid=
or http://example.com/product.php?s=
or http://example.com/product.php?tid=

Now, this will result in the proper appending of the SUBID (or keyword) to the URL. The end result will be:

http://example.com/product.php?subid=keyword
or http://example.com/product.php?s=keyword
or http://example.com/product.php?tid=keyword

Know what I mean?

Cool script, but I’m a bit confused on a few things.

First, You give in your instructions the option to APPEND KEYWORDS AS SUB-ID, with the option of true or false. You also instruct to MAKE SURE YOUR URL IS READY FOR TEXT TO BE APPENDED IN QUERYSTRING FASHION IF TURNING THIS ON.

Once I answer “true” is there anything else that I need to do. I’m not really sure what it’s telling me to do when it says to make sure my URL is ready for text to be appended?
