Hey there! I am very stoked to be able to introduce you to my new WordPress plug-in called the PPC Keyword Tracker (beta), which you can get, right now!

In a nutshell, the PPC Keyword Tracker plug-in for WordPress gives affiliate marketers the ability to track the keywords they are paying for on Google, Yahoo and Bing, and other paid advertising platforms, in order to drive traffic to an affiliate offer which they are promoting on WordPress-based blogs, websites and landing pages.

Until this WordPress plug-in became available, there was no easy way for the Average Joe to track PPC keyword-driven traffic to a WordPress-based landing page and have it “grab and store” the keyword(s) tied to the click on his/her ad (via Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.), and then pass the keyword(s) to the merchant’s affiliate tracking software so he/she could see what keywords were driving sales.

Yes, the PPC Keyword Tracker WordPress plug-in can track the following types of tracking variables, often used in affiliate marketers’ PPC ads’ destination URLs and affiliate URLs:

  • affiliate subIDs (sid)
  • tracking IDs (tid)
  • campaign IDs (cid)
  • custom tracking variables

BONUS: This plug-in also anonymizes your keywords, then automatically appends the anonymized version to your affiliate URLs when clicked. The Merchant see’s the anonymized version of your keywords, thus cannot benefit from your hard work!

Anonymized Keyword Tracking Example:

To: http://www.yourdomainname.com/?tid=5

Bob’s Big Boy Hamburger Restaurant – Back in San Diego

Bob's Big Boy Hamburger Restaurant - El Cajon, CAI am so stoked to announce that I ate at a Bob’s Big Boy restaurant in San Diego today (El Cajon to be exact). I am not stoked because the food was out of this world. NO! It was just simply nostalgic.

I think the last time I ate at a Bob’s Big Boy was at least 15 – 20 years ago and I think it was somewhere in Mira Mesa. You know what, it doesn’t matter where. What matters is that it brought back a little feeling of childhood, albeit very short lived. Nonetheless, the feeling was AWESOME and I loved every second of it.

Cool…

Thanks Jonathan Kraft – Awesome Christmas Gift

in Thank You

I got home last night from Jiu-Jitsu and saw that I had received a gift package from one of my favorite affiliate marketers, Jonathan Kraft. He is currently traveling the world with his wife Carrie while making money as an affiliate marketer; a truly portable lifestyle. How cool is that!

The gift package came from a truly awesome website called Wine Country Gift Baskets, which I’ve used before. Inside it was a Ghirardelli Tower–a tower of boxes each containing an awesome chocolaty treat (i.e. cookies, coffee, chocolate drops, hot chocolate, and such).

Thanks for such a cool Christmas gift. My wife and I will enjoy every bit of this gift for several weeks to come (so long as our willpower remains).

Merry Christmas!!!
