how to track trafficarbitrage (CPC)

i ask my how can we track success for a CPC arbitrage.

when promoting a blog with CPC adunits on it and i want to buy traffic from different trafficsources, how can i track which trafficsource is producing me clicks to my CPC adunits? is there a way for it?

i have no idea how to do that.

the only way i know until now is test any trafficsource seperately and see how much you make back from it but i want to test more like RON trafficsources or maybe zeropark but for that i must know which target/domain makes a good ROI.

thanks for advice and help

there's solutions that do it, but they are expensive when starting out.. if I were you I'd just send certain traffic sources to different areas of your site and name your widgets/ad units in those so you have a rough guess of how each is doing.. and take it from there if it's working

It will take some work, but DFP for publishers can handle all of that for you. It's free.

It is by far the most powerful tool out there that almost no one in the affiliate side of the game uses correctly.

This is coming from someone who kept both a Cake Pro and Hasoffers account for years and has fully dug into the api of both.
