After a few weeks I know exactly which are bringing conversions and which aint.

If I am understanding your setup correctly, you have the Destination URL but something like "http://www.myaffiliatedomain.com/25" or something like that, and then that page of your site would use 25 as th SID for your campaign and you would then know which keyword converted if you checked on the affiliate network and saw you had conversions under SID 25. I'm just not understanding how you pass that SID to the affiliate network... Chad,

I have been using this technique myself for initial quick tests. You mentioned: "Once you have tested the niche and want to move forward then you can set up your full keyword and conversion tracking." Chad, how is your full keyword and conversion tracking different? Care to shed some light on this? This advice is spot on. I have been using this technique myself for initial quick tests.
