I manage several affiliate sites and I am trying to have YSM tracking for several accounts on one conversion page. The tracking only works for which ever site’s tracking code is on top. If I move around the order the conversion code is placed on the conversion page the code that is on top works, but the others do not. Does anyone know what the problem is or how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance.

@Simon, it is not going to be available in Europe yet. But my rep said he would let me know when it is. Thanks!

Yeah that’s a good point…I have had some headaches sending CSVs back and forth for new accounts before the import is revealed, and I think there is a line limit for imports of ~1500 after initial import (could be wrong on this) which makes updating larger accounts a bit laborious (when you’re doing the bulk of the work in G and trying to push new changes over to Y); but you’re right once revealed the import function is relatively slick (and great article, by the way!)

Thanks!

@ Tom, I completely agree with you about google being way ahead of the curve. However Yahoo does have a tool that allows you to convert your google campaigns into yahoo and it’s pretty easy to use. Check out this post: http://www.ppchero.com/upload-google-campaigns-in-yahoo-in-three-easy-steps/

@Krishna, I agree that it would be nice if Yahoo had an analytics account. Not sure why they’re so behind Google, money perhaps??!

These options which are rolling out soon looks pretty cool. But, to be true here i find Google a way ahead in thinking and implementing certain features compared to any search engine. Will go with Google now, need to do a serious thinking before i look for Google alternatives. A Desktop client and free Yahoo Analytics i will be keen to look out for here from Yahoo

Yeah this is a good step. The problem is AdWords is so far ahead, and I can’t imagine there are many advertisers on Yahoo! who haven’t be spoiled by AdWords. One of the things I find most puzzling is that Yahoo still doesn’t even have a beta available (that I’m aware of) for a desktop editor. The import function isn’t even available when you login! Item number one on their to-do, for my money, should be making it easier for the hords of advertisers already on Google to copy those accounts to Yahoo!.
