Affiliates Deeplinking for Review Writers
If you are able to track your affiliates stats and visits in detail, it is interesting to analyze an important parameters which is the number of days between posting the link on your website and the sales generated. The importance of deeplinking is that you can have an idea about the progress of your website in generating new and old link sales.
Usually publishers notice that sales generated from their websites are most of the time related to old posts and reviews, while new reviews need more time before seeing the first sales. This is the time that interest us, which is the time that your website make to find someone interested to buy the product you reviewed.
Some publishers use global approach to monitor this performance, by analyzing the global traffic that the website generating, but I don't think it's a good parameters since the most important for affiliates is the direct links, conversion rate and what I have called here the affiliates deeplinking.
This will help reviewers to track performance of their reviews and the product reviewed. Some publishers focus on the review and forget the product itself which is the main subject of the review. It happen that a product you have reviewed and didn't generate any sales, so you should identify the problem if it is due to the product, the review, or your average deeplinking rate that you didn't reach yet.
But the question remain technical, because tracking such parameters require more flexibility in stats information, maybe this will interest more publishers which business is mainly based on products reviews.
