How to Create an Affiliate Advertising Campaign

From Lunarpages Web Hosting Wiki

An affiliate advertising campaign can be a great way to track how successful an affiliate link, a banner page, or a specific page is performing for your affiliate plan. The Lunarpages affiliate plan fully supports campaign tracking.

To create a campaign, simply add:

&campaign=CampaignName 

to the end of your affiliate tracking URL.

So for a campaign tracking a 100x100 banner for the affiliate ID "defaultlpname", the campaign URL could look like this:

http://www.lunarpages.com/id/defaultlpname&campaign=100x100

To see all clicks made from this campaign, login to your affiliate stats, click on the "overview" tab and then the "references" link off to the right. You will see the following:

If you have one banner for Lunarpages and a text ad, you could format our campaign tracking to manage all clicks and sales for each placement and, at the end of the month, take a look to see which performed best. Did your audience prefer the text link or the banner?

You can create unlimited campaigns and can track these from multiple websites, as well as view the results by day or month.
