Affiliates Tracking

analytics, tracking

Hi,

I'm an affiliate of a widgets website and right now I have set a goal that counts each time that a user go to the widgets page to buy a widget. (event goal)

The problem is that I can't count the real purchases because I don't have access to the widgets websites where user buy the widget. I'm only an affiliate that send traffic to the widgets page.

There is some option to track the number of purchases if I don't have access to the purchase website?

The affiliates program only give me the number of items sold and how many money I have earn.

I asked for a callback or pixel tracking, but I'm not sure if they will code one for me...

Thank you,

I don't know if this will actually work because our partners don't do it but check your sponsor's site for the GA code and see if it includes "_setAllowLinker", if so then do a Google search and learn what to do for the information you want.

Hi Str82u,

I have checked and they don't have the code. So, I have some alternative?

I don't do it or recommend it but you can cookie the user.
