One of the most important steps you should take with internet marketing is Tracking Your Results! By doing so, you can identify which marketing techniques are working (and therefore making you money), and which techniques are not working (therefore costing you money). You can only tell if your marketing is successful if it generates measurable results for your business.

Of equal importance is that you are not only tracking your results, but that you Track the Right Results! Knowing how many people visit your website is not important if you don’t go on to track how many of these people complete the main objective or your site (buying a product, subscribing to a newsletter, etc); also called a conversion.

There are several easy ways to track your results. Google uses a monitoring tool called Google Analytics, which monitors each visit to your website, which pages viewers visit, if they complete a conversion, and so on. You can also easily add tagging URLs to the hyperlinks of your website to track such things as how people were lead to your site, how many pages they view, where they exit your site, etc. All of this information can be analyzed to create more successful marketing techniques.

If you are successful in your tracking, you will be able to identify and concentrate on those marketing techniques which are generating the most profit. Remember: Successful Tracking leads to Successful Marketing which leads to a Successful Website!
