What You Measure Improves

The Fundamentals of Ad Tracking 

Ad tracking is the measurement and monitoring of traffic that comes from various sources, such as your PPC ads, articles, joint ventures and email newsletter ads, to your website. Ad tracking is creating a special link for each traffic source and recording the data in a statistic dashboard. The dashboard shows you where the traffic came from and the conversion rate of that traffic - that is, how many of those visitors purchased something from your website.

Ad Tracking Is Crucial 

It's easy to get traffic, what is difficult is getting traffic that makes money for you. Ad tracking tells you which of your marketing campaigns is working the best for you by bringing high conversion traffic to your website - that is a high percentage of visitors who are truly interested in what you're offering and are purchasing from you and making money for you. With this information, you can concentrate on your campaigns that are bringing in the high quality traffic and let go of the campaigns that are wasting your time and money.

Two Crucial Components of Traffic 

The amount of traffic and the value of traffic.

There are two crucial components of the traffic that are coming to you website that you need to measure and track - the amount of traffic and the value of the traffic. The amount of traffic is easy - this is the basic number of visitors that are coming from each source. The value of the traffic is a little trickier - it is the calculation of the conversion rate (people who buy) from each link source. What you want is a lot of traffic from a valuable source and you can do this with ad tracking software attached to your website.
