The example confused me. “the affiliate recorded a conversion for every sale” should probably read “the advertiser recorded a conversion for every sale”

It sounds like maybe Lucas is saying an affiliate configured a page wrong and got bad data. But I still have no idea what was wrong, or why it could not have been done correctly with GA.

Consider personifying the various parties, e.g. ‘dangle.com, an affiliate and publisher for acme products’.

Clearly you get it. It’s nice to hear someone understand the importance of both; understanding your site analytics and tracking your affiliate marketing efforts.

Did you have a chance to check out Lucas’ other post about integrating your affiliate tracking within your Google Analytics?

Hope you enjoy,
Trevor

It’s important to realize that one is good for some metrics, one is good for the other, and trying to combine them or force one to do the other just creates too much room for error. Thanks for the post.
