Correction to BlogFlux LinkLog Service Features - Tracking Outgoing Clicks
In a recent post, I talked about BlogFlux's new free LinkLog service. Link logging refers to the tracking of the visitors and where the are going when they click on a link on your site, but where the link goes outside of your site. What I said in my last post was that this would be a way to track which ads your visitors are clicking on. Well, I was mistaken.
Let me clarify. LinkLog does track ad clicks. But you don't get the details of such clicks unless you upgrade to BlogFlux "Pro" status. I'm guessing that this is a new designation, as I don't even recall seeing the links on the weekend.
Nevertheless, the free version of LinkLog still provides useful information that you should collect, whether you do it through BlogFlux's services or through some other means. Here's why: If you have ANY links on your blog that go outside your blog's domain name, you'll want to compare the number of outgoing clicks to the number of pageviews of your blog.
For example, let's say that your blog is getting 200 pageviews per day and 100 outgoing clicks. That's a ratio of 100/200 = 1/2. That's treading into a danger zone, as visitors may just not be finding what they want on your site. Do I need to explain further :? (Okay, if all the outgoing clicks are for ads, maybe you don't care.)
