4GuysFromRolla.com - Creating a Click-Through Tracking System
hyperlink, tblLinks, administration, database, objConn,
screenshot, SendToURL.
The Data Model When designing the database structure
for the link clickthrough tracking system I decided to create two
tables.
The first database table, tblLinks would contain information about
each of the "tracked" hyperlinks.
The second table, tblLinkClicks would contain a row for each time
a user clicked a "tracked" hyperlink.
Adding New "Trackable" Links via an Administration Page
Now that we have these two tables, let's look at how we can easily
add new "trackable" links.
Once you've checked out the screenshot and sample code below, move
on to Part 2, where we'll look at how to wire up our old hyperlinks
into trackable hyperlinks.

The knowledge media (Eisenstadt 1995) capabilities of
the Web enables access to the profile of Website guests, as well
as a glimpse of their wants and demands, and provides an unparalleled
ability to gauge traffic through online business' selected marketing
channels.
The models of advertiser supported Websites put forward by Novak
and Hoffman [HREF 1] include the click-through method of gaining
value from the Web audience.
There are many companies offering Web banner advertising packages
and the claims of increased audience reach are so unrealistic, and
payments to Website owners so high, that the whole industry is suffering
a credibility problem.

Hong Kong.
Among a variety of Hong Kong Web sites recently surveyed
by the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), the highest click-through
rate for banner ads was recorded at vertical content portals, ISP
Web sites and online search engines.
The survey found that banner ads on vertical content sites were
more likely to be clicked on by Web surfers, with a click-through
rate of 0.79 percent.
According to Goldman Sachs, the size of the SAR's Internet advertising
market was worth between US$4 million and $5 million in 1999, representing
0.17 percent of total spending on advertisements in Hong Kong.
By comparison, online advertising represented 1.53 percent of the
total amount spent on advertising in the U.S. last year.

As ubiquitous as dot-com tales from the dark side are,
so, too, were reports of click-through rates experiencing dizzying
falls from grace, signaling the end of the ever-present banner.
At the first formal Society for Internet Advancement in San Francisco
panel event in 1998, Ellen Comley, then at Andersen & Lembke
(which is now McCann) was asked about declining CTRs.
Basically, banners used to be exotic and "neat-o"; now
they are banal and de rigueur.
Presently, the industry average click-through rate is about 0.5
percent (as reported in the AdKnowledge Online Advertising Report
1st Quarter 2000).
As a direct-response vehicle, response rates on the web have parity
with response rates in other media.

Word that an ad rebound won't come until at least mid-2002
is bad news for companies dependent on online ads for revenue.
But at least one company is trying to change the way advertisers
look at the Internet and, in turn, change the way they value their
online ads.
They allow advertisers to track not just how many people see a particular
ad, but how many are engaged enough to "click through"
to the underlying Web site.
Advertisers could see not just how many people saw their ads, but
get hard data on how well those ads worked.
And by tying advertising fees to click-through performance--cost
per thousand is a standard measurement rate--advertisers could guarantee
that they paid only for ads that worked.

Both were instrumental in sending recent Web banner ad
click-through rates through the roof.
They also illustrate an important new trend in Internet advertising
-- where advertisers are finding it ever-tougher to turn ad impressions
into click-through.
"Click-through" measures the percentage of people who
see a Web ad, then click on it to gather more information.
And according to Web ad measurement service NetRatings, paid ad
click-through rates are plummeting.
And click-through rates affect how much they can demand for ad space
-- even though the validity of click-through as a measurement of
ad effectiveness has become a hotly debated matter.
But there are pockets of banner ads that are successfully bucking
the dropping click-through trend.
