The Answer is an Ad Tracker for Affiliate Marketers!
Lionel Estridge asked:
What exactly is an ad tracker? It is a marketing tracking software or program that allows you to trace and take note of every click-through made by visitors of your site and by other customers who got your referral link. There are ad tracking service providers as well, you will just have to pay them to do the tracking for you. Ad trackers allow you to keep an eye on the movement of your marketing campaigns even offline. This tool or program is more than ever helpful if you are engaged in quite a lot of affiliate and pay-per-click programs and have placed ads in emails, pop-ups and pop-unders, message boards, auto responders, Ezines, forums, several websites, surveys and an assortment of ad service providers.
You don’t want all your hard work to be put to waste so you want to make sure you are getting paid for your hard work. Similarly, you want to make sure every dollar or cent you pay out inyour advertising campaigns is intelligently spent. With the help of the ad tracker, you will know precisely how many and which of you links where clicked on, how many of your emails were opened and how many of those who opened your email clicked through the business site and purchased a product, how many products were purchased, which of your banner ads or links brought the most leads and sales and many other related facts and figures you need.
Sales records and all data stated are necessary in any business as this could establish if your affiliate program is still worth continuing. This would also help you determine which of your marketing plan is most successful and which is most favourable for each product or service you are promoting.
Every decision and plan you make must be well grounded on reality. That decision or plan of action may not be the best, but it is something not to be sorry about when you had valid reasons for coming up with such decision or plan. You cannot just come to a decision to terminate your affiliate program, just because you don’t earn big in an instant.
Keep in mind that your accomplishment lies mainly on promotion and your hard work. If you don’t seem fortunate enough to convince many of your site users to buy the products, don’t be discouraged and jump into a conclusion that your affiliate program is a disappointment. If it works for others, it could work for you, too. Make out whether your advertising techniques are successful or not, which works best for your program and which does not.

How To Perfect Your Ads Before They Break The Bank
Denise Hamilton asked:
The two things I am most frequently asked about are how to get more advertising for your dollar (or pound in my case) and how to deliver copy that really works. So that is what this article will be about.
Many people, when asked their opinion on the best ways to advertise will tell you that “In this game you only get what you pay for.” And I some ways that’s true, however f.ree advertising definitely has it’s place and serves more than one purpose.
They say that anything worth having is worth working for and when it comes to f.ree advertising methods you may have to be prepared to put in a lot of time and effort before you start to see solid results. And in truth if the f.ree methods worked as well as paid methods then there wouldn’t be any need for anything else.
On the other hand paid methods require you to take a rather large leap of faith that they can actually deliver what is promised and when you’re first starting out with a smaller budget sometimes the paid methods just have to wait for a couple of weeks.
One of the best methods I have found is to actually combine the two.
How? Well we all know how important it is to monitor our results with ad tracking and that once we have found a system that works we should use it to it’s fullest potential. Well unless you have a large budget to begin with it can be quit difficult to get a large enough feedback from a wide enough group for you to be able to find out which of your campaigns really works and which don’t.
That’s where programmes like Traffic Swarm and other traffic exchanges can help.
First of all what is ‘Traffic’ and why would you want a swarm of it?
If you’re new to the net ‘Traffic’ is one the words you will be hearing a lot of and need to become familiar with. It simply refers to the volume of people that you have visiting your site, and clearly to make real progress online you need to generate good quality, high volume traffic.
There are lots of traffic exchange programmes available online where you generate credits by viewing other people’s ads those credits will then in turn relate to exactly how many times your own ad is displayed to other members. You need to take some time and decide which of the many systems is right for you.
As a f.ree member of Traffic Swarm you can display up to 10 ads at a time which means that not only do you have a whole market available to you to test your ad copy on to before spending a penny on paid methods; but that you have got the ability to compare and contrast which of your ads works hardest for you.
The ads that you place are like classified ads that get shown to TS members in groups of 8, people then just click on an ad that appeals to them and they are instantly redirected to your site.
All you then need to do is track each of your ads so you can tell at a glance just which of your campaigns are achieving a high response rate and which ones you may need to tweak or drop altogether.
Once you have used a system like that to develop your own killer ad you can then confidently use that headline or body in larger scale paid advertising methods.
Truck loads of people use traffic exchange programmes on a daily basis as they are one of the most well known and successful traffic generating systems available. So before you spend big, spend some time tweaking your own ads and find out what really works.
Happy Marketing

Choosing the Right Ad Tracker for your Business
Tom Williamsen asked:
Running a business whether it is a smaller home based business or a large corporation that has hundreds of employees can be extremely time consuming. Any business owner is always on the look out on how to make their business run smoother and how they can save themselves some time and money.
One of the areas of the business that they should look at is their advertising method. They should take into account what type of advertising they use, how customers receive well it and if their ad campaigns are working out the ways that they wished they would. Choosing the right ad tracker for your business could help to solve some of these problems.
The Internet is a great thing, but unfortunately because of the size of the Internet and the millions of people that are online every day, the potential to be scammed by many people is a real great risk.
There are hundreds of people on the Internet that claim to have the best software on the Internet for things like ad tracking. They will charge you hundreds of dollars for a product that really is not effective for your business and they will continue to charge you money for any support you may need after the purchase.
This is not only bad for your business as far as wasting your money in all these purchasing, but it is also not acceptable as the software that you eventually end up with it inferior and does not produce the results that you are paying for.
So, if you decide that an ad tracking system would be a benefit to your business, the very first thing you must do is do as much research as you can before parting with your cold hard cash. There are many ways that you could do this research to determine what is the best ad tracking software for your business.
First you could use the Internet and look up different companies to determine their different offerings. When comparing prices, check out everything that each company is offering. Check out all the benefits they have listed and compare these benefits to the prices that they are charging.
Another way to choose the right ad tracker for your business would be to talk to other business owners who already use this type of software. Find out why they use a particular brand and what benefits they have experienced using this brand.
Ask them about after purchase service and find out if they have had any problems with installing or maintaining the software. A company that backs up their product 100% would probably be a better choice to go with than a company that doesnt but offers their product at a discounted price.
There is no point in purchasing a product at a drastically reduced price, if the product is shoddy or if you have problems with the product and can not get the support you need from the company that sold you the product.
