Anyone know how to hardcode clickbank aff ID's into Aweber?

hey guys,

So ya, as the title says. I want affiliates that send traffic to a clickbank offer to get credit for ongoing sales for exit pop grabs, and future upsells that are made. Also, this gives them the option to send to our lead page, and followups are coded with their ID.

Thanks in advance.

I'm no expert on this but when I was passing keywords to my aweber lists to track converting kw's on follow ups, I'd imagine the same technique would work for you.

I'm fairly sure that if you set up a "custom field name" in your aweber list you can then insert a "hidden" field in your webform code that captures the affiliates ID and stores it against the sign up. I think it can be done using the <?php echo $_GET["affid"]; ?> (replacing "affid" with whatever part of the URL you want to grab.

example;
after sending a user to your page the URL in the address bar would look something like this; http://someclickbanksite.com/?hop=affid123
you can use the <?php echo $_GET["hop"]; ?> to grab the "affid123" and insert in the web form code. (example below)

<!-- AWeber Web Form Generator 3.0 -->
<form method="post" class="af-form-wrapper" action="http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl" >
<div style="display: none;">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="123456789" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_split_id" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="listname" value="**YOUR LIST NAME***" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.yourclickbanksite.com/thankyou.php" id="redirect_51560f4b7009da2fec04f6c5e5e4ca59" />
<input type="hidden" name="AFFID" value="<?php echo $_GET["hop"]; ?>" /> **(AFFID is whatever you call your custom field name in aweber) **
</div>

Then, each time you send a follow up email you can automatically insert the saved "AFFID" for that users record.

Sorry if that makes no sense but getting shit like this across to people isn't my forte. Also, I'm sure there will be someone here who can offer a better/easier solution. Let me know if I can help any more though.

Why dont you just use an iframe of the actual clickbank page on the lead capture page

jonemd... thanks for that. I believe that will work if I'm sending affiliate traffic to an opt-in page, but not sure about the exit pop. Most affiliates will be sending traffic right to the sales page, its on the exit pop where I'd like to give them credit.

So I guess what I'm asking is, can the <?php echo $_GET["affid"]; ?> code "GET" the hop ID from one page and pass it to the aweber form which is on the exit pop page.

Thanks though the way you showed will work for some other things I was trying to figure out.

just a thought cant you just cookie on load? Then when the exit pop happens just pull the cookie via php or java and insert it where ever you need it....

or you could actually set the cookie in a redirect prior to your main page.....then you can pull it at will where ever you like......

Looked into this since we also want to offer long term commissions on all products, and seems like it can be done, looks like we'll have it implemented by monday. Thanks for the suggestion.

ya we used that method to track optins on a pennystock offer when we took it to a few networks .....it allowed us to track affids and network ids as we would insert them in hidden fields in the aweber form......so we could sort bounces and stuff it work pretty well cuz you can export aweber to excel then manhandle the data to see who is sucking ass and who wasn't and make adjustments accordingly....
