Hello is anyone still here? I have an important question.
I’m using direct linking from yahoo to merchant. I understand I need to have a landing page. how do you set up this script so the landing page redirects to the merchant while still harvesting all the data.
How do I connect the data collected on the landing page with the sale on clickbank. Is there an tid that is passed on the clickbank in the transactions report that will associate with data collected on the landing page ergo knowing what click generated that sale?
Is all this data in this script cloaked?

Agree’d 100% Dankind, I think there’s a disclaimer on this site somewhere to that effect, but I should probably make it mo pronounced.

Careful with this, the _GET variables aren’t cleaned and are ripe for SQL injections… you’ll want something like

$keyword = mysql_real_escape_string($keyword);
$source = mysql_real_escape_string($source);

Before your SQL call

Instead of putting $site=”site.com/thispage.html”; in every landing page you create, why not just add the following in tracking.php

$site=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

Will save you a few seconds in every landing page you create.

Smacks, this is butter but how do you (if you do) split-test Landing Pages?

Definately agree’d Wes. This code is all not secure as it should be and should have some code input cleaning added to it. Use with caution

That code could use some mysql_real_escape_string

if someone knew u were using that code they could easily mess up ur data.

this is a huge help, thanks!

i think there is a mistake though. in the mysql insert code there should not be quotes around the table name or the field names, only around the variable names in the second half of the statement. right? at least that’s what works for me.

also i couldn’t figure out what these are:

$keyword = trim($_GET[’k']);
$source = trim($_GET[’s’]);

i get an undefined index error. but that doesn’t matter, it’s all in the referer anyway isn’t it?
