Using Visitor Stats 2, I can easily see how many visitors and sales have come from my Google Adwords Campaign.

I might place an ad with Google's advertising program, Adwords. I want to see all visitors who come from this ad, and see which buy my products.

In my Tracking area of Visitor Stats 2 (opens new window), I can see that I have only had 3 visitors so far, and but already made 2 sales ($100 total).

Remember, this is a demo, I wish I had that ROI!!

This also shows me which visitors came from that specific Google Ad, not just from Google (such as people just finding me in Google, rather than my ad). Tracking visitors separates them from general Google visitors.

Clicking on the tracking code show me much more specific information, such as what country my visitors are from, if it's their first visit and my sales.

I can see that the 3rd visitor is on their 47th visit!

Actually, this is me, using the Firefox browser... I gave myself a name I can easily remember so I can identify myself later on (like now).

All you need to do is add this small bit of code to any links from your Google Adwords link.
(remember they have two url fields, one that the public sees, and the actual url)

In this example I will use my demo site, www.phoenixdigital.com.au

 

The code is:
"http://www.phoenixdigital.com.au/?tc=Google Adwords Campaign 30.06.2005"

 

The part in bold is my tracking code. Visitor Stats automatically adds the tracking code "Google Adwords Campaign 30.06.2005" to any visitors from this link.

Then, in the Tracking section of Visitor Stats you can see all visitors and sales from this tracking code.

 

Try it in the Demo
First, click here (opens in new window):
http://www.phoenixdigital.com.au/?tc=Google Adwords Campaign 30.09.2004

Close down that window, and now open Tracking in the Demo Admin (new window):
http://www.phoenixdigital.com.au/visitor_stats/admin/admin.php?view=tracking

Click on the 'Google Adwords Campaign 30.09.2004'. Can you see yourself?

If you had of gone to the ABOUT US page on the first link (you still can), you would then have shown up as being a customer.

It's so easy to setup a new tracking code, on any page, or from any link.

Just include this in your URL: "?tc=Your tracking code test here"
