in the dark. Many new and seasoned marketing
individuals spend significant dollars on banner
advertisements, ezine ads, and other online media,
but do not know which ads have brought them the greatest
success.

The following is a list of online advertising methods that
you may or may not be using. It is important to track all
of your online advertisement. This is the only way to
determine which method works best for you and where
you should spend your hard earned dollars.

How do you track your advertising? There are basically
two ways of tracking your advertising; sign up for a service
or purchase ad tracking software to install on your server.:

A service such as ezTrackZ http://www.eztrackz.com
will manage all aspects of your tracking on their servers.
This is a web-based tool that will allow you to quickly create
your tracking links and report your results in real-time.
Other examples of service based ad tracking are Hypertracker
http://www.hypertracker and Roibot's Ad tracker
http://www.roibot.com/r.cgi?R16915. Cost varies from $17
per month to $67 per year depending on which service
you choose.

You can also purchase software such as AdTrackZ
http://www.adtrackz.com to manage your own tracking.
Software like AdTrackZ must be installed and managed
on your server and is available for a one-time cost.

Which ever method you choose, start now and stop
wasting valuable time and dollars on unsuccessful
advertising.
