Hope this is in the right place and apologies if this has been asked a thousand times...I am a newbie re I.M..

Does anyone have any ideas hot to track where sales are coming from to a website. Ie the website hosts's generated stats do not tell me this. For eg I have a website listed on an affiliate network but am also doing my own marketing of it via 2-3 different routes which may or may not crossover with what an affiliate (s) may use, so I am trying to find out which ad campaign of mine is producing and which isn't ?

Thanks in advance.

    Hello Pete,

    Do you have Google Analytics installed on the site?

    There is a tab on the dashboard called 'Acquisition' which would tell you where your traffic is coming from.

    You could also use the Google URL Builder to 'tag' your specific campaigns with words that you can track within the Google Analytic software, for example you might have a banner at the top of a website, and then one down the side - tagging each link with a different keyword would allow you to see which one was providing the better click through rate.

    Hope this helps.

    Yes you can use Google and there is even some scripts you can use at for that purpose.
    Well you may add one more field on sign up page which will be required and you can ask there where they hear for you or who reffered them,I sow many web sites use this option,even some big boys.For 100% accuracy you will need to set tracking sistem which is not posible to use/set always because we do a lot un official marketing/advertising and you can't track that kind of traffic.
    But you can always use refferal tracking to see from where visitors came,and if you have separete order page for all products/services you can compare sales and refferal traffic results to get some results.

    I don't know but if you are using ClickBank, you can create an id for each hop link and in your analytics section, you can see what hop I'd made what sale... Like I usually create a different hop link id for each campaign so I can track things and know my stats and what's working and what's not.
