ConversionRuler is an easy to install performance tracking tool that gives highly actionable data on any marketing campaign you have set up.

Specifically, ConversionRuler is designed to track and report the number of catalog requests, newsletter signups, and orders for any internet marketing campaign you execute, including email newsletters you send, online advertising you buy, partnership arrangements you negotiate, and pay-per-click programs you run.

The code is easy to install. You can get click-through, catalog signup and newsletter signup data by putting a few lines of code on just three pages. To get bottom line information on commerce sales you must paste a few lines of code and pass the information about the order. This is typically achieved by pasting the code on an order confirmation page that has access to the relevant values by the use of Active Server Pages, ColdFusion, PHP, or CGI scripts. It is also possible to use Javascript in some cases.

- Details you can use - Only ConversionRuler ROI tracking allows you to get access to the core data in any suite of reports - you can download a CSV formatted file (compatible with all spreadsheet programs) and filter and modify data down to the date, time, IP address, referring URL, order amounts and numbers, and any further information that you need!

- Link tracking - Need to track when someone leaves your site and goes elsewhere? How about when they download your PDF which indicates they are interested in your services? ConversionRuler ROI Tracking allows you to track any link on your site as an action which is tied to the visitor’s landing.


- ConversionRuler records data as follows:

  • On a landing page - It looks at the click-through url to see if the visitor should be tracked (i.e., if there is a source parameter in the url) and, if so, it checks to see if the visitor has a cookie. If not, it sets one.
  • On a conversion page - It looks to see if the user has a cookie and, if so, links the action (catalog, e-newsletter, order) to the proper campaign and keyword

ConversionRuler basic works for campaigns that have certain parameters in the click-through url. To be accurate, it needs to be installed on every landing page for each maketing campaign.

- The basic requirements for the use of our technology are:
- 1. You must be able to add code to your webpages.
- 2. To get reporting on the sales generated you must be able to write those order values to our code snippet after the order has been made. This is usually very easy to do, but it does require a level of access to your shopping cart that some websites do not have.
