Keycodes, yes, very practical.
I just tell you about a very simple additional method to check whether particular site is efficient with your particular ad or not. This is a little different indicator, as it shows not where your sign-ups come from, but where the interest is raised at all. It is called Click-Through-Rate (CTR) and is proportion of clicks on your ad compared to the number of shows.
Most Traffic Exchanges and Mailers show it automatically, so you can get an idea whether the public there is interested or not. Also take into consideration that some sites offer very extensive numbers of shows, so even low CTR-s may bring you sign-ups.
One more detail I mentioned somewhere already - be careful with CTR-s given by Mailers for your email ads. They show only how often your mail was opened, not whether it was read.
And another matter: tracking is good, but is won't solve anything if your ads are not composed well. Rebecca Smith wrote recently a mail - I don't know for how wide public exactly - where she summarized it very well. As probably not all of you read it, I stress the most important aspects:
- raise interest at once,
- be to the point,
- be as brief as possible.
Hope that helps.
