How do I track Yahoo ad clicks?

Hi all -

I need to be able to track who clicked my Yahoo Ads and where they came from (aka referrer). That way I can find out which ouside links are sending me the most valuable users. Does anyone know any great ad tracking software that will do this for me? I'm looking for something that works well. I am willing to pay money for it if I have to.

Thanks!

I'm not sure one exists yet for YPN...I know of a few for google, but I think since YPN is still in Beta there is not one yet...I might be wrong though.

 

I think you can use Google analytics for this (http://labnol.blogspot.com/2005/12/visitor-click-tracking-in-adsense.html)

 

Hmmm.... this may work. I'll tweak with it a bit to see if it gives me what I need Thanks!

 

That's the script Shawn wrote. You can also use a program like AdsenseGold which will tells you date - hour - page - referrer - refdomain - keywords - search terms - ips - channels - ad colors, sizes, etc.

I think I read adlogger was going to start supporting YPN with the next version.

 

asgold is inaccurate, unsupported and hasnt been upgraded in over a year. i think jonathan abandoned the project.

 

I use a free script from here...

...which doesn't catch everything, but at least something is better than nothing .

 

In my experience, AdSenseGold gets about 80% of clicks. It isn't perfect and has the same problem as all the other programs when it comes to tracking mozilla clicks. I wish it was more accurate, but for me, detailed information on 80% is better than nothing. It's not a program that requires support to run, but Jonathan does seem to play stupid when you ask about why it isn't more accurate.

 

i dont get 80% accuracy overall. and on extremely high volume sites, it crashes out and becomes useless. it also slows down page loads by 5 - 10 seconds during peak hours. it also only records 50 % of my clicks compared to ypn report even though 98% are IE browsers. it works better on smaller traffic sites. and jonathan seems to have forgotten about the program completely. the only thing he cares about, i believe, is your email, which he sends to everyday. i needed support on it all the time and not just for accuracy issues. jonathan wasnt there. when i am interested in his email offers, i buy them from someone else. all is good now though, i have a much better system.

 

That has never worked for me unless if I didn't set up the database right.
