Wouldn’t it be great if you could see exactly what links your website visitors were clicking on. With that kind of information, you’d have a better understanding of exactly what your audience is interested in and what areas of your webpages attract the greatest number of clicks. All very valuable information if you want to increase the number of clicks you get on certain links or if you want to know what content interests visitors so you can provide them with more.
You may have already seen the AdSense placement heatmap produced by Google and I’ve found it to be very useful in determining the most profitable ad placements. Imagine if you could have a similar heatmap for your own webpages…
Well, now you can take the guesswork out of placement testing…

A question that’s often asked on forums is,
“How do I create PDF files that contain clickable word links instead of only clickable URLs?”

Very recently, I was writing the specification for an affiliate cloaking script that included click tracking to better understand which links were performing well and which weren’t.
Just as I was nearing the final draft, I stumbled across a script called GoTryThis (GTT), which promised to do exactly what I wanted at a very reasonable price so I bought a copy.
That was back on the 26th July. To this day, I still don’t have a working version.

If you’ve ever purchased a piece of PLR software for “you to do with whatever you want” then you might be interested to learn that you might have also received an unannounced bonus…
There is a hidden danger with a lot of the software sold with private label rights. PLR software in particular is more susceptible to this problem because it’s often supplied without any support.

After 6 weeks of using AdSense Gold, the AdSense Tracker script has been updated twice; one of those updates was a major milestone - the ability to track AdSense clicks made in the Firefox web browser.
With the increasing numbers of surfers using Firefox (currently around 25%), not being able to track their clicks was a growing hole in the benefits offered by the tracker.
In my own case, I’ve been using the Firefox tracking version of the script for over two weeks now and the click figures that it’s showing me still aren’t reconciling with those that Google are telling me.
Looking over a 7-day period to get around the difference between what my installation and Google think the current date is, the AdSense Tracker click figure for most domains is less than 50% of what Google is reporting. In some cases, the difference is as much as two-thirds.
The information that I’m getting from the clicks that are being tracked is really useful and gives me a good insight into the behaviour patterns of visitors (especially the ad-clickers!). However, it’s unfortunate to think I’m missing two-thirds of the information I should be getting.
