WTF? Yes, free traffic is expensive because it often wastes a lot of valuable time for little or no return. But, not all free traffic is expensive. Some is valuable. It’s a bit like the businessman who said, “Half my advertising dollar is wasted, I just don’t know which half.” At least half your efforts to get free traffic is wasted, but you can find out which half with good tracking. Tracking tools can be expensive, so, if you’re just starting with tracking, here are some free tools to use for tracking. Honestly, you should track every link no matter where you put them. Each link can be unique when you set them up carefully. 90% of your visitors will only see one link one time. If you have a WordPress site, you can use the Pretty Links plugin. It is basic, but does give you some insight into what’s happening. The other link you can use is https://go.wm-tips.com/llhome, the tracking in this tool is more sophisticated. Both of these are free and can give you some decent oversight to what’s happening with your links. Remember that even links in PDFs can be tracked and the target page changed if needed. Regards, |
