FNG trying to track affiliate offers/traffic

I am running a MaxBounty offer using Tonic Traffic.
Tonic allows me to track the source and the KW used to generate the click
MaxBounty - it allows tracking but I don't know how to use it and cannot find any documentation on it. (to me it looks like it is for the "manufacturer" rather than the "sales" force)

Everywhere I visit says "track, track, track" and I can find almost no substantial information on it.

Where should a new affiliate start with tracking?
.................
I am currently not getting enough traffic from my Tonic KW campaign so I am thinking about running some text ads from 7Search to bolster the traffic. However, this will make my limited tracking even less valuable because 7Search only offers code to put on the "thank you" page after a sale is made. (I have no access to this). This will dilute or ruin all the tracking that DNTX is doing.
I also won't be able to tell which KWs from 7Search are profitable.
(to confuse this further, DNTX goes to my LP and 7Search will go directly to the offer)

Where can I go to find out about this. I don't even know what I am supposed to track.

For instance I would like to be able to track traffic from 2 different sources
I would like to know what time of day the traffic is coming (I use day seperating). It would be good for me to know if people are signing up at work or at home on Saturday mornings so I can allocate my budget accordingly.

The most important thing I need to know is where to go to get started. Once I start, I can begin to figure out what is important and what is not. Hopefully it will be a place with a free beginner account and room for growth. It should have good video and written documentation.
Any ideas?

Thanks for considering this question
