Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is KeyTrail?

KeyTrail is an online tool that lets you track and analyze your PPC campaigns. It's designed to help affiliate marketers find which keywords attract sales and to weed out bad PPC keywords – so that you stop wasting money on click-throughs that are not helping you make money.

How is KeyTrail different than Google Analytics?

In order to make Google Analytics work, you have to put your tracking code on the order “Thank You” page. That's why Google Analytics is not suitable for affiliate marketers who do not own the “Thank You” page. With KeyTrail, affiliate marketers - even those without their own website - can track all their keywords and the user's search terms, as well.

I don't have a website; I just direct all my traffic to the merchant. Can KeyTrail work for me?

Absolutely! If you send your traffic directly to the merchant, KeyTrail can redirect your traffic to the merchant via our tracking server.

Do I need to change any part of my website to make KeyTrail work?

Absolutely not. Whether your campaign is with MSN, Yahoo! or Google, all it takes is a simple addition to your existing HTML code, and you're ready to go.

How do I enable tracking for my links?

We'll walk you through it. You simply add a few letters at the end of your link and save it.

What is all this about your negative keyword option

KeyTrail is unique in offering a negative keyword matching option, which allows you to prevent your ad from appearing when certain terms are used. For example, if your keyword is "movie tickets," you may get visitors that looked for "free movie tickets" - which won't get you any sales. The Negative Keyword Tool automatically suggests words that should be considered as negative keywords, and lets you add them to your list.

I need up to the minute information, but I don't want to be on the KeyTrail site all day. What can you do for me?

In addition to visitor reports, sales reports and keyword performance reports, we can also send you an email whenever you make a sale.
