Great post. Already putting it to good use. Anyone figure out if you can use LinkSynergy with Google AdWords to auto-track end-to-end conversions?

Are you able to see the conversion rate from each individual affiliate? I am looking to share revenue with affiliates based on how many of their users clicked through and bought my app. Is this possible with Linkshare?

Great post! Thanks! But does this work for tracking free apps conversions?

From Dave’s comment I would guess not. Which would be a pity since this is what I’m looking for. If anyone has a solution, feel free to let me know: much appreciated! Thanks,

I’ve been using this technique for a while. It does work. But be forewarned: LinkShare is incredibly frustrating. It’s buggy. Sometimes their analytics just won’t be available for hours at a time. Sometimes, for some reason, it works in Firefox but not in Safari.

The one gaping hole in this is that you can track how much was spent on iTunes purchases due to a click on your banner or other link, but you cannot tell how much of that was spent on your app and how much was spent on other products. From what I can glean by poring through individual transactions and seeing whether they bear any relation to my app’s price, most of the transactions are for other apps or songs. But we have no reliable way of quantifying that.
