Hi guys,
So I've been running a few direct link 7Search campaigns over the last couple of weeks. Nothing profitable yet, but enjoying the experience and learning quite a lot.
I do wonder though if I am over complicating things. I have set up third party tracking (BevoMedia). So I am switching between my CPA network stats, 7search stats and BevoMedia stats to try and work out what's going on.
So I just wondered, what do the good people of CPAFix prefer to use to track simple direct linked 7Search campaigns? Is the conversion tracking in 7Search any good? Does it provide you with the full picture that you need to make decisions over your campaign? Or am I best sticking with a third party solution? Am I right in thinking that I would need third party tracking in order to keep an eye on the AFFID's and RID's?
I'll tell you what one of the main issues I have is - working out how much I have spent per keyword and how much I am losing/winning per keyword. In order to calculate this I need to check my spend per kw in 7Search, then flip over to my other stats and see which kw's have converted, then make a manual calculation to see if I am in profit or loss for that kw and write that down somewhere. I'm sure I've seen tracking systems where all that information was displayed for you on one screen and you could see at a glance which keywords were profitable and which weren't.
Currently I'm getting a bit overwhelmed with the data side of things and wondered if there was a better solution, or if I am overcomplicating things. Any advice is very much appreciated. Cheers!
