Since prosper now collects info on your campaigns supposedly, what do you suggest for tracking now?

Is there anything like this to track banner ads placed with ad buying networks? Thanks.

Does Prosper allow you to capture raw queries? So if you are running broad match, you would be able to see the queries that triggered your keyword. Google lets you see some but lumps all the long tail queries together as “outliers”.

Have any of your tried Optimize my Site now owned by the PPC CLassroom boys. I’ve been able to track down to the keyword and I was wondering how it stacks up against 202.

Yeah, the hosted 202 does make me a little nervous, but IMO the people who would be the most scared are “opportunity finders”. I have a few campaigns like that where I’m solely brokering traffic, but for my best campaigns, who cares if someone knows my keywords and my bids?

They’re not going to replicate my business model & relationships with customers, and I doubt they’ll have all my backend stuff in place. Chances are anyone peeking at some of my campaigns would think I’m an idiot for keeping those cpcs. Just saying a hosted program isn’t for everyone, but their new pro version which updates everything on the fly is pretty slick.

@melvin: wrong. p202 can use subids to track conversions. that’s how most people do it. rtfm.

@Martin

The conversion page tracking is called a) Trackback or b) Pixel. They both do the same thing. Unfortunately, there is no way to solve this problem other than added the code to the thank you page to trigger prosper202.

I might be wrong but Softlayer could probably setup mysql 5.1 with $3.00 support ticket.
