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

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.
