Tracking your advertising campaign

Result is important. If you don’t like your result, change your approach. You won’t get different result if you are doing the same thing again and again.

You need to track every single advertising campaign you run if possible. Advertising incurred cost. If your advertising cost is more than what you get out of it, then you are in lost. Stop the campaign and start with a new one. Until you found a good one. Let it runs and roceed to the next.

I’m in progress of developing a simple application that can track every click people made on my advertisement links. When they click it, how much each click cost me and from where the click is made. At the end of the day, I can view a comprehensive report where I can then summarize the profits made out of the campaign.

The other good thing on the website is I managed to get a four letter dot com domain name that will make my advertisement link shorter and friendlier. Shorter than tinyurl.com/zzzz.

Will update more on the link tracker application when it is completed. Maybe will make it as a limited free service to all.

You can get a free ad tracker at Click Audit.

Tools needed to be successful in internet marketing

After spend more and more time on internet marketing, I can say that there are a lot of repetition in what I’ve been doing. So many time spent to do the same things again and again.

What is the best autoresponder on the net?

I also not sure which are the best. 🙂 But I have a list of autoresponder that you can look at. The price, the features, the reliability and effectiveness.

What is autoresponder anyway?

It is an application to manage your subscription list, to submit sequential message automatically giving a specific period of time. For example you are selling a medicine online. You offer a special report on your medicine benefits etc to the user by let them subscribe to your newsletter.

All the messages you want to send has been set up in advanced. You have set up let say 4 messages with interval of 3 days of each message. The first message will be sent immediately after the user subscribe to your newsletter. After 3 days, the second one arrive at the subscriber inbox. And so on till the last message.

So what is the benefit?

People won’t buy from you on the first visit. So you can use autoresponder to build credibility and convince people on your services or products. You can follow up with them on their progress after reading your previous messages etc. This will increase subscribers confidence and will lead to a sale.

Here are some autoresponder for you to evaluate.
1. SendFree ($19.97) – As its name, it is free for you to use but with ads. Without ads need to upgrade. Have free trial for 30 days

3. EmailAce – ($8.95) Paid autoresponder. Promo as low as $2.95 for first 30 days.
