Would you consider bounce rate as a metric? I have the same problem with testing: I just can’t send enough traffic to have a good data sample because would be too expensive!

I agree with Tim…PPC can get expensive, so it’s better to get something that is going to optimize on it’s own.

If you’re using PPC, then I would advise you to get a good conversion tracking system like Tracking202 (or self-hosted Prosper202). This will give you some great stats, including landing page clickthroughs.

If you are doing this for just a regular site, then you could track this with Google Analytics. Just check the amount of page views a content page gets, and then how many clicks (hops) go through to CB. To get more specific data, track outbound clicks with GA or use tracking id’s (TID) with CB.

Hi Tim,

I’m very new to affiliate marketing. I’m running my first campaign which I’m split testing a clickbank product.

My question is about impressions. How do you determine if the amount of impressions and the ratio it takes to receive a click?

Also what about the time it takes to receive a click? I one click per day good?

Thanks,

Thanks for sharing that tool “crazy eggs”, it is pretty new thing for me and am wondering where it was hidden. I have seen many trackers and tools which can track several sites from one place but I hope that “crazy egg” would be very best utility.

The only tool I have is, Google Analytics, It almost give all the information which we need. Only thing which i didn’t know is, how to convert that into measurable goals.

I love heatmaps. Just wish they weren’t so expensive.

I’ve used Crazy Egg for some time but the results are not the best you can get. Commercial software is far better and more accurate.
