- Split Testing. Do you want to see which classified ad pulls better. Use a Different ad tracker for each classified ad and let them each run a few weeks and see your results.
- You are in control. If you are promoting an E-book about how to profit on e-bay and you find a better e-book you just change your tracking link to point to the new E-book. Or Set up a 2nd tracker link to your new E-book and see which one sells better
- If you are Promoting an Affiliate program and they go out of business, you can find a similar Affiliate program and point your ad tracking links there.
- Cascading Trackers. Lets Say you want to Redirect many URLS to http://main-Redirect.
You Build a Page called http://the-Redirect and Point it to http://main-Redirect (don't place Java Web Counter code on this Page)
You now Point all you other Redirects to http://the-Redirect s0 http://the-Redirect1, http://the-Redirect2 ...(with Java Web Counting Code ) are all pointing at http://the-Redirect. Now if the URL of http://main-Redirect1 changes you change http://the-Redirect to point to http://main-Redirect1 and all the URLS that point to http://the-Redirect should still work with no change.
- Free Web Based trackers go out of business.
- You can often get better statistics when you build your own Ad-Trackers
