hyperTracker has been designed to work with any URL (website address beginning with http:// or https://). It will track unique visitors plus with the use of a special snippet of HTML code on the appropriate pages on your website, it will track a many other statistics as well.

You can use the special tracking URLs in ezines, on websites, banner advertisements, FFA sites, anywhere (as long as it doesn't breach our anti-spam policy) and your visitors will be tracked regardless.

Duplicate Protection that can track individual clicks for a specific product or for an entire campaign. This feature protects your hyperTracker from counting the same action, click or sale from the same visitor over a specified period of time. Therefore, if a visitor refreshes the page the visitor is only counted as one click rather than two.

You can enable / disable this feature plus you set-up a time period for a selected product. This is accomplished by changing the following code: &protection=default to &protection=YOUR_VALUE. YOUR_VALUE is the number of minutes a duplicate action or sale should not be counted again. If you do not have the code you can simply add the second string.

hyperTracker has the ability to individual advertisements such as banners, pop-ups and links within a larger campaign. For example, you may have a campaign to increase your newsletter subscription rate. To do this you have used a banner on a friend's site, a button on your site and a classified online ad. The major campaign is the Newsletter. The subcampaigns are banner, button and classified ad. This allows you to see which advertisement is the strongest.

You can also use hyperTracker subcampaigns to track which search engines are giving you the best results. The main campaign is Search Engines. Your subcampaigns would be the name of the search engine (i.e. Yahoo, Northern Light, Google, etc.).

Create your main campaign as usual and write down your target URL. When you place your redirect URLs in your banner, link, button, search engine, etc. enter a subcampaign identifier at the end. You do not need to create a new campaign for each subcampaign. For example, Mr. Gold wants to track visitors coming from Yahoo and Google. His main redirect URL is

http://hypertracker.com/go/mrgold/searchengines

To track visitors from Yahoo he would simply add /yahoo to the end of his redirect main campaign URL like this

http://hypertracker.com/go/mrgold/searchengines/yahoo

The same applies for tracking visitors coming from Google.

http://hypertracker.com/go/mrgold/searchengines/google

The Quick Target feature will allow you to override the target URL and send the visitor to another site while maintaining your tracking capabilities. To use this feature you must use a subcampaign identifier then add your Quick Target URL. For example, Mr. Gold wants to redirect his visitors to http://anotherzip.com. Therefore, he would use the following redirect URL:

http://hypertracker.com/go/mrgold/campaign/sub/http://anotherzip.com

The Query String feature is used to redirect clients using dynamically created parameters. For example, Mr. Gold can track payments handled by any online credit card processing site. Mr. Gold redirects his customer to a transaction page using a link such as:

http://creditcardpaymentsite.com/buy.cgi?product=PRODUCT_NAME&price=PRICE

To track the number of clients using this service, Mr. Gold created a subcampaign called payment and uses the target URL:

http://creditcardpaymentsite.com/buy.cgi

The tracking URL he uses on his site is:

http://hypertracker.com/go/mrgold/payment/?product=PRODUCT_NAME&price=PRICE

PRODUCT_NAME and PRICE are dynamically generated values.

If you want to use tracking url with your own domain name, and you want it to be really short (i.e. http://www.mysite.com/banner3/ instead of http://www.mysite.com/ht.php?a=user&b=banner3), you should do the following:

Create a directory called 'banner3' (or whatever your campaign name is) in your website main directory, than create index.php file in there. This file should contains only one line:

<? header('Location: http://www.hypertracker.com/go/user/banner3/'); ?>

This way you can easily use sophisticated features like Quick Target or Query String still with your OWN domain name, and really short traffic URL!

If something doesn't work, try to ask your ISP if the server allows using PHP or Perl scripts and what file extension you should use (commonly .php, .php3, .phtml, .html).

If your server allows using Perl/CGI scripts instead of PHP (ask your administrator), than you should create index.pl file (or index.cgi - depending on server configuration) with two following lines in:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print 'Location: http://www.hypertracker.com/go/user/banner3/'."\n\n";

For ASP-based pages you can create default.asp file with following line:

<% Response.Redirect "http://www.hypertracker.com/go/user/banner3/" %>

If you are not able to use any server-side technology (like PHP, Perl, ASP, etc.), you can use simple HTML technique called META REDIRECT. Instead of index.php, you should create index.html file with these lines inside:

<HTML><HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="1; URL=http://www.hypertracker.com/go/user/banner3/">
</HEAD></HTML>

META REDIRECT method is little bit slower and it's dependent on client's browser (some browsers may not handle it properly), so we are recommending PHP or Perl redirection instead.

You can add cost of the click in your Tracking URL, like this:

http://hypertracker.com/go/user/overture:0.32/

where 'user' is your account name, 'overture' is campaign identifier and 0.32 is cost per click.

This feature is most useful when you want to track few keywords in one campaign, and each keyword has its own price per click. For example Mr. Gold is advertising four keywords in Overture Search Engine - goldmine, money, cash and marketing. He should use following tracking links:

http://hypertracker.com/go/mrgold/overture:0.13/goldmine/
http://hypertracker.com/go/mrgold/overture:0.21/money/
http://hypertracker.com/go/mrgold/overture:0.45/cash/
http://hypertracker.com/go/mrgold/overture:0.44/marketing/

Remember, that campaign MUST be configured as "PPC" (pay-per-click).

In some cases you may not have confirmation page and want to count clicks on links listed on your page. If you are affiliate and you're running the webpage with affiliate links, your 'sale' or 'action' is done when visitor clicks an affiliate link. If you allow a download of free software, you may not want to count 'action' when visitor is looking at the download webpage, but when he REALLY does download your software... There is many possibilities when you cannot or don't want to use <IMG ...> code...

Counting URL feature allows you to track clicks FROM your website in the same way as sales / actions. All you have to do is to change target link on your page (i.e. http://paymoney.com?aff=123) to Counting URL:

http://hypertracker.com/link/user/paymoney:0.03/1/http://paymoney.com?aff=123

This Counting URL is simply the same as code snippet:

<IMG SRC="http://hypertracker.com/count.php?
user=user&name=paymoney&sales=1&description=
&value=0.03&protection=default"
BORDER="0" HEIGHT="1" WIDTH="1" ALT="">

but it don't need to be located on confirmation page and it is redirecting visitor to http://paymoney.com?aff=123.

You can assign customer to the specific campaign without using Tracking URL, but <IMG ...> code. HyperTracker allows you to setup HTML page views in the same way as clicks. This feature is especially usefull if you are using popup advertising or you want to track click whether customer reads the email (HTML version) that you send out.

To count page view as click, you need to place a snippet of code into the page:

<IMG SRC="http://www.hypertracker.com/view/USER/CAMPAIGN/SUBCAMPAIGN" BORDER="0" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="1">

Remember, that if you want to track a recipient opening the email, this feature is working only with HTML-friendly email readers (like MS Outlook).

You are able to provide access to a campaign for selected persons giving them your HyperTracker Account name, Campaign identifier and Campaign password. On this page: http://www.HyperTracker.com/external/ they will be able to see all campaign statistics including campaign analysis and logged information.

This feature is especially useful for simple affiliate-based programs (one campaign for one affiliate) or if you are selling advertising space on your website (you can provide Campaign password for your customers).

On the External View page (http://www.HyperTracker.com/external/) customer is not able to change anything (i.e. delete any events) or export the data to CSV. He is not able to see your other campaigns or login as you. Also, there is no possibility to provide access only to a specified subcampaign.
