Yahoo Search and sub id tracking

[wickedmarketer]

Is it possible to pass keyword in yahoo search with direct linking?

In know in adwords it would be something like

hxxp://example.com?sub={keyword}

I know yahoo has OVKEY but I don't know how to add it to a direct link url

Just use tracking202.

Yahoo appends it automatically to the url if you enable their "analytics" (under administration)

Thats right.

Use
?OVRAW=<keyword>

OR

?OVKEY=<keyword>

You won't be able to directly pass it on like with google. You will have to redirect via a script that adds the keyword as the sub id in the affiliate link.

Tracking 202 is the best way to go.

Here's a little code you can use if you don't mind the affiliate network seeing your keywords:

<?php
$key = $_GET['OVKEY'];
$key = strtoupper($key);
header( "Location: http://www.afflink.com/offer.php?sub=$key" );
?>

save the file as a .php and replace the url with your affiliate link. Use this new file as your destination url in yahoo.

For your bidded keyword:

http://www.mylp.com/?mybid={ovkey}

For raw search query:

http://www.mylp.com/?myraw={ovraw}

And if you want to know both:

http://www.mylp.com/?mybid={ovkey}&myraw={ovraw}

The other method is using prosper and let it pickup the kw automatically.
