How should my trackers look?

Trackers can contain any alphanumeric characters.

You can separate different elements inside a tracker with an underscore or dash.

Here is an example of what a default CrakRevenue link using trackers might look like:

http://frtyb.com/go/1q1q1q1q/?aff_sub=TRACKER1

In the example above, TRACKER1 is the Sub_ID 1 tracker.

(We encourage you to change the TRACKER1 tracker to something unique for every new campaign — otherwise it gets confusing!)

For instance, an example of a custom tracker might look like this:

http://frtyb.com/go/1q1q1q1q/?aff_sub=JUNE_2015_topright

In the example above, JUNE_2015_topright is the chosen tracker to indicate the month of promotion, the year, and in this case, the positioning of the link or banner (this is handy to reference later on).

Remember, if you don’t change or create new trackers, there’s no way for you to differentiate your traffic sources.

Tracker (Sub ID)

tracker (Sub ID) is a way to tag your campaigns, traffic sources, ad spots, and banner names. A tracker helps you pinpoint how many hits are coming from a particular source and how many sales are being generated.

Trackers are data… and data is information.

The information contained within a tracker should be relevant to your campaigns.

Trackers can be thought of as little memory cues that can help jog your memory on what you’ve done (that turned out to be successful), or that provide you with great insight of your success.
