And Wherefores’ 1.
To earn some referral commissions Even
if you are just here to earn some referral commissions, or spending
small amounts of time and money trying to sell a product or service
on the Internet, you should be using our tracking facilities to help
achieve just that. Typical
scenario: You decide to start promoting someone else’s product,
service or opportunity; you immediately check out the sales copy, dash
to create your e-mail signature, buy some ezine advertising and tell
your friends by e-mail all about this wonderful new product, service
or opportunity that you think is the best thing since sliced bread. Shortly
after, you’ve now told everyone on in your address book, spent
your marketing budget on ezine articles and classified ads only to find
nothing has worked. You don’t even know if the $100 you spent to
advertise in ABC ezine, or the $200 you spent for that newsletter article,
or the hours you spent submitting to classified ad websites even worked! Why?
Because you failed to use a reliable tracking service… You
now (rightly or wrongly) decide the product, service or opportunity
you have just spent your hard-earned cash (money you could have spent
on your family or a good weekend away) does not work, no one wants it,
it’s a load of old crap!!! Fact of the matter is, that product, service or opportunity may have been THE HOTTEST thing available on the Internet, but because you failed to use an ad tracking service you will never know. The
reality is, you wasted your time and money advertising in the wrong
places; problem is unless you monitor your marketing results you
don’t know where the right places are! There
is an old saying: ‘Half of anyone’s advertising budget
is wasted, the problem is, you know never know which half!’ By
using ResultsTracker.com tracking facilities you can pinpoint
with amazing accuracy, exactly which part of your advertising was wasted,
which ezine failed to bring in a result. By taking this a step further
you can even determine whether it was the list which failed to deliver
or if it was actually your sales copy; it just wasn’t punchy
enough, or said the wrong thing to the wrong audience. The
User Guide below will guide you through the exact route to use our tracking
facilities and once you have the final statistics you can then determine
whether it’s your sales copy or advertising source which has failed. Use our guide to understand the principles behind our system. It’s very simple and once grasped, you can use the statistics given to you in the daily stats e-mail to ensure you waste no more time and money on the wrong advertising source. By then testing different sales copy to the same list you can determine what works and what doesn’t.
Remember
an advertising campaign can range from simply placing a URL in your
reply and outgoing e-mails from your own computer to comprehensive large
and extensive e-mail campaigns consisting of hundreds of thousands of
sent e-mails. Start
by clicking on the ‘Add/Manage Trackers’ on the navigation
links at the top of the page. You
then need to add the URL (website address) you want to track in the
URL box. Using ResultsTracker.com as an example you would put http://www.resultstracker.com/track/yourusername
in that box. You
then have a ‘Notes’ box, use this to enter as little or as
much information regarding this tracking URL as you want, from the date
used to specific information regarding the ezine, newsletter or article
it is to appear in. Then
click on the ‘Add’ button, your tracking URL has now been
created, click on the resulting ‘pointed finger’ and you will
be taken back to the ‘Add/Manage Trackers’ page. To
retrieve your tracking URL scroll to the bottom of the page where is
says ‘Get Code For Tracking URL’. If you have created more
than one tracking URL use the scroll down bar to the right to specify
which campaign you want, once you have specified this click on the ‘Get
It’ button. The
next page will give you a URL such as http://resultstracker.net/t.php?id=23
- this will be your new tracking URL so instead of http://www.resultstracker.com/track/yourusername
you now use http://resultstracker.net/t.php?id=23 Now
before going any further I want you to put this to the test, create
your first tracking URL by following the above instructions. Once done
test the tracking URL you have created by putting it into your address
bar on your browser and click the return/enter button. You will see
it will take you to http://www.resultstracker.com/track/yourusername
and more importantly if you then go back you will see on your ‘Statistics’
page that you now have an entry as ‘1’ under the unique column
on the very right hand side of the page. Entries
under unique are the exact number of people who have clicked on your
URL and raw entries consist on the number of times the URL has been
clicked on, i.e each person might click on your tracking URL twice so
the number on the raw column would be twice as many as that shown in
the unique column. You
also have two further functions on the ‘Add/Manage Trackers’
page, one is to edit your campaigns and the other is to delete your
campaigns. ‘Add/Manage Split Runs’ – this section/service acts a rotator for up to three URLs i.e you can rotate click throughs to three different websites by using just one tracking URL and you will be given precise statistics on exactly how many click throughs have been delivered to each of the target URLs. |
