    Hi,

    I want to be able to track sales that come from links in, e.g., emails I send out to customers. Further examples... I might have a link on my blog to a general store page, or a sales page, or place a link on a forum to our main site homepage where amember is integrated in a sub-folder ... and i want to be able to specifically know if that link leads to sales.

    Can anyone help me work out the best solution for this with amember?

    Thanks

    aMember has an affiliate feature that would serve that function.

    Google analytics with tracking codes should handle a lot of this too.

    Thanks, but I don't want to use amember's affilliate function, as I don't want the affiliate stuff showing up on customer's user pages.

    Thanks, but I think I might need something more advanced as well.

    I guess I might need to use a third party affiliate script - any recommendations?

    Also, I have a confusion about how to set up google ecommerce tracking. I have the google analytics code set up already in the header section of all amember pages, but I understand that I have to add the ecommerce code to the thanks page (and code kind of confuses me these days!)

    I see that in this thread the code to put into the thanks.html file is listed, but it seems to be different to what google is now posting on their site here and I don't want to use out-of-date code.

    Can anyone kindly post here the exact up-to-date google ecommerce tracking code i need to put on my thanks.html page? I'd be very grateful for this help.

    would be easier just to modify the customer user page (ie. member page) to remove any affiliate references versus managing a 3rd party affiliate script.

    Thanks - any idea about my other question about Google Ecommerce code still being up to date?

    Use the code from Google's website.. forum posts are not wiki pages, they don't evolve as the world around them does :)
