That’s pretty darn smart, Jim. This way you can actually get stats off of any affiliate campaign.

And that would work for tracking conversions too, right? genious!

Pretty simple man! Two ways to do this…

I use a different method, but here’s the quickest least technical method. Create a new thankyou.html page on your domain. Make that your “Thank You” URL with your autoresponder. Then with that page, create two horizontal frames. One should be 50 pixels high and the other should take up the rest of the page.

Make the source of the top frame a page called “status.html” and in that place your action code from Google and write a message like “Thank You, etc, etc”. Then in the lower frame, make its source the affiliate product’s sales page.

To see an example (and copy code), just fill out and submit the optin form below then view the source of the resulting page. That’s the method I use in this blog

Done that already Jim. I had issues with split testing via Google Website Optimizer. The conversion page I was using was an affiliate link which Google wouldn’t let me include in the test as the conversion page had to be on my own domain. Is there a way around this where I can use an affiliate product as my conversion page or do I have to mock up a ‘thank you’ page on my own domain and potentially miss out on affiliate purchases during the ‘testing’ phase??
