Client Click Tracking

need something quick

[micahb37]

So, the good news is I am getting bunches of clients who want me to manage their PPC campaigns.

The bad news is that many of them want online reporting. Does anyone have suggestions on a tool? It can be subscription based, etc. I have looked at GoToast and a few others, but I dont really need bid management (yet).

I would like something that allows a client to login and see their clicks by tracking link, etc. And it would be great if it included some sort of conversion tracking tool.

Any suggestions?

If you have a Linux box somewhere, there is a free Perl script called AXS from xav.com. It is only for low traffic sites, as it will choke on a busy site and the logs will get unwieldy. It might work in Windows - I haven't looked.

Park the code on the Linux box and provided that the server will take clicks from the client's site, this will provide one half of your needs.

It requires a tag on every page you need to be counted. If you have one on the payment received page, that can be your way of counting conversions.

You should also check out the Tracking and Logging forum where this topic comes up regularly.

I use AXS mainly to see the ranking e.g. "1-10" against keywords used and as a bonus, the URL shows me the actual SERP (well, today's view of that search) that the visitor saw.
