Tracking Visitors On Your Landers?

[jacksparrow_6]

Hey,

Just wondering what your thoughts were on using stuff like google analytics or woopra on your landing pages?

I've heard that load times are important (and analytics scripts slow things down) so is the info you get from them worth the slower load times?

Cheers in advance.

Seriously? You had to make a poll for this?

I can tell you that 99% of people here have tracking of some sort on their landing page, in fact you would have to be a god damn fool not too... sooo....

 

[jacksparrow_6]

I put the poll in to try and get more people to have a look at it lol. Anyway, thanks for the answer. What would you recommend for tracking?

Both are free, self hosted. Atleast p202 is, not sure bout bevo. Google em.

Bevo is a good choice.

It's really important to track your landing page visitors. I'm using prosper202.

You should be using Prosper202 or at least Google analytics. Knowing data = money

 

[canibus]

Tracking is good, pay close attention to your traffics behavior

I'm a data junkie.

Prosper 202
CPV Lab
Bevo

All great choices. P202 is the best free tracker I've come across.

Has anyone had experience with Piwik? I'm looking for an alternative to Analytics and would like to stay free if possible.

Why do you say that? P202 works great for me. I have no problems running high volume through it either and even modified the landing page screen to track:

Funnel Name Clicks OptIns OptIns Conv Cost Per Lead Sales Sales Conv LP Click Email Clicks Email Sales CPS Payout Net EPC Gross EPC Avg CPC Income Cost Net ROI

I've got around 90% of my cost & sales data automatically feeding into it with APIs and such too so no need for manual updating.

For analytics I use Google (and Clicky on a few properties just bcuz I'm paranoid about Google seeing my data)

 

[Kiopa_Matt]

Statistics and analytics and things like that?

No, no... what a waste. I just go with my gut feeling, personally.

 

[dotslash]

I like StatCounter - just find the stats easy to read.

Custom built my own... Every visitor to my pages, write directly to DB with unique code, IP and header info and it follows them on every page with timestamps. Currently, I don't make use of ALL data but its great for catching fraud and shit traffic. As well as analyzing whats working on my landing pages and site flow.... Then I have a dash for incoming clicks, conversions etc.

For tracking visits I think Prosper will do OK. In terms of getting actionable data, I do a lot of testing with clicktale and/or visualwebsiteoptimizer.
