Adtracking - The Essential Tool
But which ad/web page are producing the most replies?
Where are my ads/emails getting the most responses? Which headlines are working the best? Which emails get the most responses? We don't want to waste time/and money posting to no effect. Some affiliations are now offering tracking...but to their own ads.
Here's one way to solve it. If you have your own site with access to site statistics, simply create a redirect page. try this one:
http://www.onlyforprofit.com/Pro/free_report.html
Pretty instant? The script for the page is this: (Removing the *'s)
<HT***ML>
<HE***AD>
<TIT***LE> Free Internet Marketing Report </TI***TLE>
<meta h***ttp-equiv="refresh" content="1; URL=http://www.youraddress">
</HE***AD>
</HT***ML>
That's all there is to it. Create a page on your site with the above (but obviously the right URL to whatever you're promoting) and advertise that address. The title doesn't really matter. You can make as many pages as you like with different addresses (Pro/free_report1.htm etc), and then by viewing your site stats discover the response rates.
BUT... you're not getting email addresses :-( In comes 'AdTracker'. This comes as a free extra when you sign up for the web hosting package I promote, or free with membership of the Warriors). (As far as I can tell it's no longer available as a single product. You can get it as part of a package of scripts for $197 here: ) http://www.cgitoolbox.com
This is simple script that you install in your cgi-bin that lets you track individual adverts to the same page. One webpage with as many ads you like pointing to it, all being tracked.You can test ads, headlines, safelists, placing of adverts etc, and get the prospects details when you follow the suggestion in the last article! Marketers heaven!
Happy tracking,
