ClixTrac is a banner and link tracking service that allows you to see how many people view and click on your banner ads and hyperlinks. This enables you to fine-tune your marketing and determine which banners are most popular with your website visitors. You'll also see which banners have poor performance and should be replaced.

Here's how it works...

First, after you sign up for an account, we'll provide you with access to our special control panel, where you can setup the banner images and links that you want to monitor.

Our system will generate a special HTML code snippet for each banner ad that you set up, which you simply copy and paste right into your website's HTML code or wherever you want to use that item.

It's that easy! Every time someone opens one of those banners in their web browser or clicks on the links, ClixTrac will record it for you.

We also offer basic link tracker and a special reporting feature where our system can email you your choice of daily, weekly or monthly reports. Making your link tracking efforts as easy as checking your email!

Anyone that's doing any type of affiliate marketing or website promotions should be monitoring their advertisements to determine how successful they are. Monitoring the number of views and clicks, as well as, the click-through rate and conversions is very important. Not doing so, leaves you blind to what's really going on with those promotions. Our link tracking service allows you to do just that, track all your daily banner views and click-throughs. Our tracking system can also tell you the IP address and referrers for the click-throughs, so you'll know how many of them were unique and how many were repeat clickers and where they are coming from.

Our service is extremely useful for webmasters that are running more than one website. With ClixTrac, you can now have one control panel to monitor and update banners and links that are deployed on multiple websites! With one simple edit, you can dynamically change an ad that is currently running on thousands of websites to make them either begin using a new image or begin directing the traffic to a new destination!

Absolutely not! You can use your ClixTrac account to track as many banners and links as you need.

ClixTrac will allow you to track any clickable image, link or button on or off your website. You can track your ads that are being run by your JV partners or links that you use in articles, press releases, post on message forums, ect.

ClixTrac is also great for tracking images and links in email newsletters. Now you'll be able to see how many people on your company's mailing list actually open your newsletter to read it! *Please note: The use of our tracking service with email is restricted to opt-in recipients only! We do not allow tracking code to be used in SPAM! Doing so will result in losing access to your account and your account being suspended. SPAM complaints or other forms of abuse should be reported using this form.

Our service could also be used in conjunction with affiliate programs. This would allow you to monitor stats and make sure they match what the sponsor's stats report. A great way to determine if the sponsor is being honest and paying you for all of your traffic.

No, we no longer support flash (.swf) banners, because Adobe Flash itself was discontinued on December 31, 2020. Most web browsers will no longer open or display flash banners because of that.

Our system is quite easy to use! If you can do any HTML editing on your website, then you should have no problem implementing our banner tracking system. You simply replace the HTML code for the banner image that you want to track with the HTML code that our system generates for you. It's that easy! If you're setting up basic link tracking, you don't even need to mess with any HTML code at all. Just set up the link tracker here by filling in a few details about the new tracker and use them wherever you want to promote that product or service. If you need any help at all, we are here to help! Simply email support or use our contact form.

There are a couple different reasons this might happen. First, are you sure you entered the correct email address on the sign up form? If you're unsure, either use your browser to go Back and double-check it or try signing up again. Second, make sure you add clixtrac.com to your address book to ensure you'll receive emails from us. Some email services will accidentally send email into your junk mail folder, mistaking it as Spam. Third, the confirmation email is sent almost immediately after submitting the sign up form, but, depending on the speed in which your email provider delivers email into your inbox, there might be a slight delay before you receive it. If you've checked all of these things and haven't received an email from us after an hour or so, please notify us. It's very important that you are able to receive email from us, because that's how your login information will arrive as well. Our optional email report feature also requires your email to be in proper working order.

Yes, we provide the web hosting for your banner images. When setting up banner trackers in your control panel, you'll be able to upload your banner images from your computer. Supported image types are GIF, JPG and PNG. Maximum file size is 300Kb. Flash (SWF) banners are no longer supported.

Your login information is sent immediately after you have confirmed your email address. So first, make sure you add clixtrac.com to your address book to ensure you'll receive emails from us. Some email services will accidentally send email into your junk mail folder, mistaking it as Spam. However, due to abuse of our service, we sometimes may have to manually review and approve new sign ups. In that event, it can take up to 24 hours. If you haven't received an email from us by then, please contact us, so we can resend your login information.

After you've received your ClixTrac login info via email, go to the login page and access your control panel. Once there, you'll be able to add link trackers and banners to your account. Our system will generate shortened links and special HTML code snippets for your use. Simply copy and paste that link tracker wherever you need to use it. Our system will then start logging that tracker's activity on your stats page for you.

This means that your account was reported to our abuse department. Either you were posting your ads where they were not allowed to be posted or we received reports in regards to your ads or links being used in Spam. This is not allowed! We ask that you contact us right away to address the issue. Failure to do so will result in your account, trackers and stats being permanently removed from our system. You will also be banned from using our service in the future.

Yes. While your account is using the free plan, each tracker will expire 7 days after it's created and is limited to 100 clicks. Banners will have a limit of 500 impressions each. Any that reach the free limitations will need to be replaced. Upgrading your account to either a premium or professional plan will remove those limitations and enable more features. Plus, any trackers that have already expired or reached a free limitation will become live again.

Sub ID tracking is a feature on our professional plan. Sub ID tracking is very useful for tracking different traffic sources. Normally, you'd need to create a different tracker for each traffic source you want to promote your link on. However, using Sub IDs allows you to create a single tracker and attach variables to the end of it.

For example, if you were promoting a link on twitter.com, you could attach something like "&subid=Twitter" to the end of your tracker. If you were promoting a link on facebook.com, you could attach something like "&subid=Facebook" to the end of your tracker, etc.. Then, simply use our Sub ID stats to view how many clicks and conversions are coming from each of your different traffic sources. It's a great way to know where you should be spending your time and money advertising and which places to avoid in the future.

Conversion tracking means the tracking of sales, leads or other acquisitions. It works by placing a small snippet of HTML code onto your website's "thank you" page or receipt page that comes after someone buys from you. Then, our system will tell you which one of your trackers generated that sale. Conversion tracking is yet another great tool to help you get the most out of your promotional efforts. Knowing where your sales are coming from can without a doubt help you drive more sales!

Our professional plan gives you the ability to use a custom domain in your banners and links. So, instead of seeing "clixtrac.com" in your trackers, you would see a domain name that you own. Many people like to use a unique domain name of their own in the trackers for branding purposes.

Using a custom domain is totally optional and we will host your custom domain name for free. However, the domain can only be used for your trackers, not for file access or for hosting a web site. Once you have your custom domain registered at a registrar, such as NameCheap or GoDaddy, we will give you the nameserver settings to enter at the registrar. Then, we will configure your ClixTrac account to use that new domain name for all of your trackers.

Much like banking websites and other secure websites, our control panel uses "sessions" to allow you to remain logged in for a certain period of time. If you remain idle for a prolonged period of time, you might be logged back out. It helps keep your account secure.

If it happens immediately after logging in and trying to navigate within your control panel, make sure you have session cookies enabled in your web browser's privacy settings.

If your account was working fine before and this is some new problem that has begun, your browser might be having temporary memory issues or some other problem that's preventing it from storing your new session. In that case, it will usually fix itself when you either restart your web browser or reboot your computer.

Click here to run a session test and get more information on possible causes.

Simply go to the "My Account" page of your control panel. There are links there that will allow you to cancel your subscription and downgrade to the free plan. Or you can fully close your account and have all of your trackers deleted from the system, if you prefer. We appreciate your business and there's absolutely no hassle when it comes to downgrading or canceling your account. Or contact us anytime with your request and we can cancel it for you.
