I’ve just been looking at Clickbank Integrated Sales repoting and I can’t quite suss out if it works for affiliates or if it’s just for vendors. In the help center on clickbanks.net it mentions it in the Affiliate section under ‘Tracking Your Promotions’, so you’d assume it does work for affiliates, However when trying to follow the instructions for using it with Google Analyitics it says you need the product Thankyou page URL, which affiliates don’t have access to, so now I’m not sure.
To set it up for Goole Adwords you don’t seem to need the Thankyou page URL.
Now I’m confused and can’t seem to find much information other than what is on clickbank’s help center.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to use Integrated Sales Reporting with Google Analytics as an affiliate, and if so has anyone got any experience doing so.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Help! Clickbanks.net Integrated Sales Reporting And Google Analytics?
Posted on April 2, 2012.
You can use it as an affiliate. It is working for me. Maybe it works because my vendors have done their part on their sites — I’m not sure about that. But I’m happy with what I’m seeing.
In analytics, whenever someone views an order form I see a page view for page: /order/orderform.html?vendor=vendorid… etc.
And when someone completes a purchase I see the page:
/order/ordersuccess.html?vendor=vendor… etc.
Just set up the tracking in Clickbank with your analytics ID, and then activate it. Don’t worry about the thank-you page part. See what kind of tracking shows up for you.
