ClickReport is as easy as 1, 2, 3 ...

1. Tell ClickReport what web page you want to monitor. ClickReport then generates a small piece of unique code.

Specify your url to track in ClickReport. Specify both protocol and url.

Specify your url to track in ClickReport
2. Insert this unique code by pasting it into webpage you are monitoring

Paste the unique ClickReport.com tracking code just before the closing body tag </body> of your landing page's source code. This will prevent the script from interfering with, or being affected by, other things that may be incorporated into your page.

Insert the java script into the source code on the relevant web page of your site.

Add Script to your landing page
3. Amend your pay per click advert to include a tag at the end of the destination URL that your pay per click provider asks for.

Login to your Google adwords account.

Click on the Ad Groups tab and select the campaign you wish to monitor.

Click on the Ads tab, and then on the edit pencil in the tab. Locate the Destination URL, and add ?crtag=google1 to the end of it see below. Note: google1 can be substituted for any text up to 12 characters long 0-9, A-Z, -, and _. No other special characters or spaces should be used.

Amend your pay per click advertisement to include a tag at the end of the destination URL that your pay per click provider asks for. E.g. if your pay per click provider is Google and your destination URL is www.MySite.Com simply append the destination URL with ?crtag=Google so the finished destination URL now supplied to Google will look like this www.MySite.Com?crtag=Google

Adding crtag to Google pay per click

Now when anyone clicks on your advert ClickReport will record the following information:

  • Date and Time of the visitor
  • IP Address of the visitor
  • The Country, State and City of the visitor
  • The Internet Service Provider of the visitor
  • A unique cookie or session ID for the visitor
  • The referrer of the click
  • The keyword the visitor entered in to the search engine to find your ad

You will receive a summary Email each day, reporting the total traffic, unique visitors and unique IP addresses for each landing page you are monitoring. This gives you an excellent snapshot of how your campaigns are working across multiple pay-per-click providers. To be specific and search the results for a particular pay-per-click vendor then you can sign in to your ClickReport account and produce more detailed and specific reports.

The report also includes repeat IP addresses. This is where the same IP address is recorded clicking on your pay-per-click ads. Google offers you the facility for you to Block Specific IP Addresses from seeing your advert. By logging in to your AdWords account and blocking these IP addresses they will no longer be served your ad which will prevent potentially wasted advertising costs.

You can also log in to your account and generate custom reports with the ability to filter and export to .PDF and .XLS Formats.
