Tag Your Links to Evaluate Marketing Campaigns

Tagging incoming links to your website to determine where your traffic is coming from is a practice we've discussed before. We're bringing it up again because it's an essential step for evaluating your marketing campaigns.

By using unique identifiers for different marketing campaigns or other sources (such as Facebook, Bing, or paid ads), you'll be able to see in your Google Analytics reports how many people have clicked through to your site from that campaign or source. In your MightyMerchant Order Manager, you'll even be able to tell how many orders originated with a click from one of these campaigns!
