Link Tracking

I don't know about you but I love statistics. I love seeing how many hits my sites get every day, I love seeing how many people are clicking my ads, I love checking to see how many sales I made (that's my favorite), and I love seeing where those sales came from.
No matter where you are advertising on the Internet you should always track your links so that you know which ads work and which ones don't. The easiest way to do this is with a link tracking tool.

A link tracker is a service that allows you to create tracking links for your site. Every time one of your tracking links is clicked the link tracker records the data for you and then redirects the visitor to your site.

To create a new tracking link you simply submit the URL of the webpage you want to keep track of and the link tracker will provide you with a unique URL to promote. By logging into your link tracker account every day you will easily be able to determine which of your advertising campaigns are working and which ones are not.

When making your own splash pages it is a good idea to always use a link tracker for the "CLICK HERE" link. This will allow you to test out different splash pages and see which ones get the most clicks.

Link trackers are also a good way to protect your affiliate links and hide the URL of your site. This means that visitors can't just move their mouse over your link to see what site you are promoting. If they really want to know what you are promoting they will just have to click your link and actually visit your website.

You can get a free link tracker for your site from ProTrackerPlus.
