Which click tracking program should I use?

[JT388]

Hello,

I own a digital product in the photography niche that I need to begin tracking my links. Currently I have 50 links and I am just using bit.do to see how many clicks I am getting per link. This isn't really helpful at all to me anymore.

What I really need is a program that'll let me track my links and conversions. I have no landing page because the link takes the potential prospect directly to our sales website that we obviously own.

Currently all our clicks are coming through from Instagram and Facebook Ads. We get about 600 clicks per day but we don't know from which of 50 campaigns are giving us those sales.


Now which program do you recommend?

I've been drawn into this one:
Clickmeter - well, it was the only one that came up in google when I was looking for one. It looks pretty good, though it seems to lack a simplified graph overview of all the clicks / sales so I can have some kind of birds eye view overview of it all.


Which do you recommend?

My budget is $30 a month or whatever. (I am not after a free one as I know it'll be crap)

Send me through your recommendations!

Sounds like an obvious market need to me. Get an INSIDERS membership and post it in the Ideas Needing Execution section

Hey I use Voluum and CPVlab for single campaigns
Something cheaper would be Prosper202 (free I believe)

if you have a full funnel check out www.funnelflux.com

There is also Mouseflow and Clicktale that are decent,
they give you heatmaps, user session recordings, and more detailed analysis

Google analytics for general stats like bounce rate, sessions, Geo-location, etc

Also if you place a custom pixel, you can track everything within Facebook itself,
it will tell you which campaign and ad each sale came from.

Not to mention it will help you build a custom audience that you can run lookalike audiences with,
which are like 10x more ROI than cold targeting once you hit statistical significance.

(If you want to go alittle advanced: For whatever tracking you use, Make sure to append FB URL tokens,
which will give you which ad it came from, all demographics, interests, age, gender, all that jazz)


Hope that solves your problem


P.s A side note on trackers is that many of them have gotten negative rating on MyWOT which is what Facebook uses to determine the quality of a link.
If you tracker is flagged, you are at minimum looking at higher CPCs, or at worse, a ban.

Make sure to download chrome extension (here) to see what each tracker link is rated at if it is hosted by them.
Self-hosted should be alright.

Thank you so much!

I was just also wondering if you ever used Bit.ly Enterprise Edition?

It has the most simplistic interface for tracking clicks day by day.

My website sells 1 product which is sold on the homepage in the form of a sales funnel.

Google Analytics + Facebook Conversion Pixel. Its free and although you think free stuff is crap, it isnt. I currently track all my traffic with just those 2 tools.

@Silverhawk851's suggestions are great tools, but they are overkill for you at this stage. Cover the basics first and learn how to use them to the full extent.

Interesting.

Although I get alot of traffic from people clicking the link in my Instagram BIO - how do I track sales from which of my Instagram accounts are making the sale? (every account has it's own link)

I have a redirect set up for that.

Make your profile link sth like domain.com/instagram_username

Then you set up a 301 redirect from /instagram_username to /landing-page?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=profile_link&utm_campaign=instagram_username

You then have each account as a seperate traffic source in GA.

Heres how the tracking links in GA work: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033863?hl=en

Yeah bud, if you're funnel isn't super complicated I think @theag is right,
Just do google analytics properly and tracking within FB


Bit.ly also not bad, but if you just want to tracks clicks/day that can be done with anything,
including Google Analytics

There is alittle but of learning curve w Google Analytics but well worth it
