How to Make Your Own Tracking Links

by Tracie Johansen



Are you tired of promoting your site and your affiliate

programs and not knowing what's working and what's not?



If your web host offers stats that at least let you know

what page's people are going to. This will work for you.



Below you will find a simple HTML code to use to make

your own redirect pages. You can use it for pages on your

site and use a different name for them.



Say the URL to the page you want to advertise in a particular

eZine or classified is http://www.yourdomain.com/products.html

put this link in the HTML code below in this area of the code.



meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0;

URL=Put your link or affiliate link here"



Now name it with a different name such as product2.html

and save it to your web site files. Next upload this page

to your site.



Now when you place your ad list the URL in it as:

http://www.yourdomain.com/products2.html



This URL will redirect to:

http://www.yourdomain.com/products.html but will show in

your stats as: http://www.yourdomain.com/products2.html



When you check your stats you will be able to see exactly

how many hits you received from the eZine or classified or

wherever you placed your ads. You can also do this with

your affiliate programs following the same instructions as

above. This will also make your affiliate links look better.



To keep track of your advertising, here is an example of

a file to set up. Say you want to use the same ad and test

several different ways to promote it. Simply make your

file like this.



1. Yahoo ads

http://thisaffiliateprogram.com

the redirect page file will be named

thisaffiliateprogram1.html

and you will list it in your ad as:

http://www.yourdomain.com/thisaffiliateprogram1.html



2. eZine Number 1



http://thisaffiliateprogram.com

http://www.yourdomain.com/thisaffiliateprogram2.html



3. eZine Number 2



http://thisaffiliateprogram.com

http://www.yourdomain.com/thisaffiliateprogram3.html



Get the Idea? Just continue making and uploading these

redirect pages to your site until you have all on your

list done.



Also on each redirect page be sure to list your title,

description and keywords. If your site is spidered by

search engines, they will very often pick these-up.



Here is the code.



!-- Start Code --

html

head

titlePut Your Title Here/title

META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="Describe your page here"

META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="Put keywords for your site here"

meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0;

URL=Put your link or affiliate link here"

/head

/html

!-- End Code --



Very Important: Be sure to check each one of the redirect page

links to make sure they are working before you place your ads.



Good Luck! If you have any questions or need any help with this

email me and I will do my best to help you. ipromoteit2yahoo.com
