Part of
finding out how a business is doing online or offline involves
tracking. Several English definitions exist for the word tracking.
The one we are interested in with relationship to online advertising
sales and marketing is "to follow the tracks of". Where are the
visitors coming from who go to a particular web site or web page?
How long do they stay? What term did they usert ype into the search
engine to find the site? What page of the site do most visitors
leave from? These are all important questions. Any online business
must know the answers to these questions in order to make the most
of their online marketing and their advertising dollar. This is
what tracking is all about. Google, Yahoo and MSN all provide some
kind of tracking. One can buy special tracking software. And
hosting companies provide website owners with a great deal of
valuable tracking information. |

A
system used to generate traffic to a website by exchange of visitor
information and referrals. Traffic exchanges started with the
purpose of exchanging information about sites that were considered
new and interesting by the visitor, who then recommended the website

exchange of information on recommended sites is now being covered by
things such as blogs, Twitter and Facebook. |
