Link Tracker

Link Tracker Overview

Link tracker can be used to track URLs (how many clicks) for pages internally and externally. It has multiple uses including:

• Use a pay-per-click advert to confirm the actual counts match the clicks recorded on the advertising site
• Place external links to show the number of clicks coming from the external site
• Place links in your site to see how many people click those links

How Link Tracker works

You can use a link tracker to count how many people click on any link.

• In the admin module, you add the actual URL you want the visitor to take when they click on the link
• Link Tracker will give you a new URL that you use instead
  1. Example: you want a link to www.SomeDomain.com/MyPriceList
  2. The link tracker generated URL is www.YourDomain.com, this is the link you put on the site
• When a user clicks the link, Link Tracker counts the click and then redirects the person to the actual URL www.SomeDomain.com/MyPriceList

Creating a new Link Tracker

• Login

• Go to Admin Dashboard

• Modules

• Link Trackers

• Select Create New Link Tracker

• Enter the settings for the link Tracker

  • You may choose external links:

• • You may also choose internal links:

• Details needed for the fields:

  Name	Description
  Name	Name of the link
  Type	Select Internal if you want to link to 1 of the pages on your site, if the link is required outside, select External
  Redirect Url	If you selected External, input the full URL to redirect to here. Eg: http://www.google.com.vn
  Page	If you select Internal, choose a page to redirect to by the page title
  Allow Multiple Clicks	By default, whenever we detect a visitor clicking the same link multiple times, the system only counts a single 1 click to the link. This is to prevent spamming that leads to fake click numbers. If you don't want this behaviour, you can check this checkbox = 'No'. The system will now count every single click even if from the same visitor
