How is untargeted and untrackable SEO traffic better than paid, geo targeted, demographic targeted, researched traffic directed through sophisticated proven funnels?

Both can be tracked. CPA from SEO ties more to content quality and engagement than just targeting or funnel mechanics. The methods are more complex --just built for different user journeys.

SEO tracking goes beyond referral counts and user metrics. With gtag or s2s postbacks on the conversion site, you can link SEO to revenue. The challenge is in the coding and cross-referencing.

In CPA tracking, running ads with a commercial tracker is the fastest route --none of the SEO intricacies are involved. And in CPA strategy, where many networks give you limited attribute data, a tracker helps organize that data and make high-volume campaigns manageable.

Well, you quoted a statement I made as a partial response regarding someone stating that SEO traffic was the best.

I've heard and read this argument before, that tracking SEO is just a different journey. There is data that can be collected, but every expert in the field says you need to collect data over an extended period for it to be useful. You can't tell a newbie to start a business with SEO as the traffic source and expect them to make sound business decisions that will drive targeted traffic to a CPA offer. It doesn't produce. My personal experience arrives at the same conclusions. I've used Google to analyze data since it has been available, but it isn't really tracking, it is at its core behavioral data collection from a generalized traffic source. Also, when the SE's started their war against affiliate landing pages, affiliate advertising, and affiliate direct linking, the data provided is actually only significant to anyone with true content sites. How many marketers are actually building and maintaining true professional content sites. Even with that, it won't produce anything as significant as paid traffic for proven funnels.

SEO tracking analyzes your website's performance, identify issues, and provides optimization adjustments.

1. Conversion rate.
2. Organic Traffic (keep in mind VPN's skew this tremendously which dashes any hopes for truthful geo and demo data needed)
3. Keyword Rankings
4. CTR (you must use each SE's console instead of just one interface)
5. Domain Authority
6. Time On Page
7. Backlinks

None of that compares to real tracking, it's just a window into an ever moving target that hates our industry and provides no help to anyone running true affiliate campaigns and funnels. It's primary purpose is for those using it for content sites and each SE states that clearly in their articles and publications.

Traditional trackers provide real time data and an a far more extensive set of metrics. Of course there is more, but the shortlist is as follows.
Clicks and impressions track how many times an affiliate link is clicked and how many times the link is displayed (impressions).

Conversions from the affiliate link, such as purchases, sign-ups, or lead submissions.

Redirections are recorded, how many times users are redirected to the merchant's website after clicking the affiliate link.

Audience insights data shows which audience segments are most responsive to affiliate marketing efforts without actual details on the demos.

Campaign performance reports provide evaluation data on the effectiveness of different campaigns and identify which ones are generating the most conversions and revenue.

Optimization recommendations as well as an affiliates data evaluations show affiliates how to make data-driven decisions to optimize their campaigns, such as adjusting targeting, content, or creative assets.

I stand by my statement, you cannot actually track SEO, especially based on a campaign. There is no such thing as an SEO affiliate funnel campaign. It doesn't exist.

SEO is necessary, but only as a tertiary source of traffic for content sites. It is never a primary, or secondary, traffic source for any true affiliate funnel. I still say it is, and always will be, un-trackable because it lacks the trackable sources of data for an affiliate funnel. It is, and always will be, a practive of optimizing uncontrollable traffic derived from uncontrollable interests by uncontrollable users.

Show me in SEO where at the beginning of SE traffic you have any form of a free standing angle, hook, and trigger. You can have a 13 year old in the Philippines using his fathers phone to find data on a subject and the VPN says they are from NY along with any other data that may have squeezed through the VPN net.

Trackers tell you where to throw your fishing lure for steadily landing fish. SEO only tells you what part of the lake to steer your boat towards.

You could have just stopped with that ...
