Something That Will Save You A Lot Of Money, Time & Frustration

Posted in Ad Tracking by Daniel on the January 26th, 2008

Before we get started and take the first steps in getting targeted traffic to your website, I want to recommend to you something that is going to be a valuable asset to your business if you want to maximize your returns over the long term and also tell you if your advertising is working.

Now I don’t want you to spend a ton of money on software, e-books or anything else that is marketing related to get started. Any of that money is worth much more if you put it into paid advertising like e-zine solo ads. I have wasted so much money on junk software and I wish I could go back and put it into advertising.

Before you spend any money on solo ads, banners, text links, classifieds or any other form of paid advertising you MUST HAVE SOME KIND OF AD TRACKING SOFTWARE!

Even if you are doing free advertising like article and forum marketing, you have to use ad tracking so you can spend your time online efficiently and only run campaigns and use ad sources that are converting for you.

The benefits of ad tracking are:

  • Being able to see where your clicks are coming from (article directories, solo-ads, forums, banners, etc.)
  • Testing different headlines to see which ones convert better (This is known as split-testing ads.)
  • Knowing how many people are signing up for your mailing list (Essential for knowing if a solo-ad is effective.)

This is how we make money with solo-ads. We track and see which ones convert well. If it does good, run it again. If it is a failure, trash it and move on. Put half of your profits back into solo-ads and other forms of paid advertising.

This is how every online marketer is able to consistently make a return on their investment. I can’t stress enough how important it is to track your ads. Like I said before, I don’t want you spending money on lots of useless software and books, but investing in an ad tracker can be one of the smartest investments you will ever make and will make you a very big return on your investment.

Now their are lots of different options when it comes to ad tracking. You can pay for a monthly service that is web based or you can buy software that installs on your server.

I recommend installing it on your server yourself because you pay only once and once you recoup your investment back you don’t have to pay no more and you are in profit. You also are in full control of it having it on your own server.

The software that I use and think is best for someone new to ad tracking is called Adtrackz.

It is very simple to install and setup or you can pay for them to install it for you. It’s affordable at only $77 and it can track leads, sales and also features a very valuable link cloaking device so you can cloak your tracking and affiliate links so they look like normal links.

Trust me, if you want to save a lot of your valuable time, money and frustration, you will be better off getting an ad tracker. Having one will not have yourself wondering if anything that you do to market is working or not.

Stay tuned for my next post where we will start the official training and get your first hits to your website.
