&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;A new tool promising to help affiliates track and optimize PPC campaigns has launched. &lt;a href="http://www.dc-storm.com"&gt;DC Storm&lt;/a&gt;, a web analytics, tracking and PPC optimization provider calls the service Storm for Affiliates(tm).&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The solution enables affiliates to link commission generated through their programs on affiliate networks with money spent on pay-per-click engines such as Google, Yahoo, and others. 
Sound familiar? It is &amp;ndash; in fact, we&amp;rsquo;ve covered a few of these software
solutions catering exclusively to affiliates in &lt;a href="http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2008/10/15/monitor-affiliate-revenue-with-affmeter.aspx"&gt;Affmeter&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2009/05/22/statsjunky-for-ppc-affiliate-marketers.aspx"&gt;StatsJunky&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;How it works (according to the release)&lt;/i&gt;: Storm for Affiliates achieves this (hyper level of tracking) by using enhanced StormAnalytics&amp;trade; tracking integrated with sales data imports from all of the major affiliate networks APIs and click and spend data from the PPC search engines API&amp;rsquo;s. This means that data is collected, matched and aggregated automatically including any changes that are made to the status of a sale by the affiliate network.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Seth Richardson, CEO of DC Storm, said: &amp;ldquo;Affiliates are big PPC spenders however tracking commissions back to keywords and search terms that generated those sales has always been a challenge for affiliates. Storm for Affiliates takes the leg work out of tracking and reporting and presents the data within DC Storm&amp;rsquo;s market leading digital marketing platform StormIQ&amp;trade;. Affiliates are then able to utilise our robust reporting and dashboarding technologies as well as our PPC Optimisation technology StormOptimsier&amp;trade; to help drive more revenue.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
