Ads For Greater Profits"
By Dmitry Nanev
If you are advertising online, which you should do on a
regular basis, then it's absolutely vital for you to know
the results you're getting. Otherwise your advertising
efforts could just be a waste of time and money in the
long
run. Period.
Eventually, sooner or later, you WILL consider TRACKING
your text ads, signatures, banners, articles, etc.
And of course you will have to find a professional,
cost-effective and reliable ad-tracking software or a
third
party online service. By using it you'll know exactly
which
ads are driving the most traffic and which are only
burning
your money.
It's really easy to see this, plus there are many free
services that'll cost you nothing. So let's take a look
at
some of the most popular ones.
1. hyperTracker -- http://www.hyperTracker.com
A third party online service that's really easy-to-use
and
you can start using it in a matter of minutes. You get
the
choice between two versions -- a free and a paid one.
The Pro version ($16.95 to $10.95, according to the
period
you pay for) allows you basic features such as tracking
clicks, but also advanced ones such as actual sales and
coding your links with your own domain name. The free
version allows you only to track clicks. You receive a 90
days risk-free guarantee with the Pro version.
An affiliate program is also available that pays you 30%
on
direct sales and 10% on 2nd level sales.
2. ROIbot -- http://www.ROIbot.com
Another third party solution for your online business
that
offers advanced tracking for your ads, follow-up autoresponder, automate FFA submission, expert advice of
the month and much, much more.
Although free version is not available you get your first
month risk-free for just $1 and every next month will
cost
you $17. So it's really worth checking it out! Besides,
most of the Internet marketing experts I know are using
this service.
An affiliate program is also available paying you monthly
on two tiers -- $4 / $1.
3. LinkCounter -- http://www.LinkCounter.com
Yet one more third party ad tracking service provider,
but
this time, a completely free one. Although free, it
offers
you very basic statistics so it just might be not what
you
need.
However spend a few minutes and give it a go, especially
when coding your links is so simple. Note, that if you
have
more than one domain name you will have to create a
different account.
4. StatCruncher -- http://www.StatCruncher.com
It offers you a 30 days trial version, which you can
start
using immediately as this is another third part solution
that doesn't require you to install any kind of software.
Just plug-in and watch the results.
However if you want to keep using it after this 30 days
trial you will have to pay $69 annually, with no
additional
fees. You also get a 30 days risk-free guarantee.
You can also resell their service and receive 30% from
the
sales.
5. AdTrackz -- http://www.AdTrackz.com
This tool is actually a CGI script that you'd have to
install on your server that would cost you $47, one time
with a 30 days risk-free guarantee. If you can't install
it
yourself, they will do it for $25.
The only technical requirements is that your host is
Unix/Linux based and allows you to run CGI scripts i.e.
it
has Perl installed on it.
As for the tool it self, well it offers pretty advanced
stats such as referring URL, browser, time of the day,
etc.
Everything is displayed on one page, making it
easy-to-access.
The affiliate program is one tier and pays you 50%
through ClickBank.
6. Ultimate Link Tracker -- http://www.SiteSell.net
It's another advanced CGI software with a good number of
stats available. For example you can see from which link
did the visitor come, the unique/all visitors ratio, etc.
Best of all you can get this ad tracking software for
free, when you become an affiliate of the famous 5 Pillar Club,
which is also free.
If you can't install it you can go to http://www.ablake.net/forum/ and ask for some help or you
can visit my site and email me and I'll get my programmer
to install it for you.
The moment you take advantage of one of the above ad
tracking solutions, you will start increasing your
advertising revenues. By knowing which ads were effective
and which not you'd be able to create cost-effective
advertising campaigns in the future and thus save a lot
of
money.
Although a little costly these tools would easily pay-off
by saving you money that you could invest in more
profitable projects.
You
can immediately boost your website sales with personalization.
