One of the very best ways I have found to track the success of any of my marketing methods is to use the Google Link Creator. Now, even though Google may not allow you to create a tracking link directly for SFI it WILL allow you to create a fantastic tracking link to your own website landing page that promotes your SFI Business. You know, your "sign up page". IF you do not own a website there are also options. What I do personally is I purchase a really cheap .net (dot net) website domain. Then I go to the domain management page and set the domain to "Forwarding With Masking" and I then enter my personal SFI, TC or ECA link as the redirect for that domain. That way, people can click on an actual website name and be directed to my SFI link automatically.
All of this being said. I have been doing this for over 15 years now with my own websites. I use a few really great traffic counting programs that actually show me the exact City that people are signing in from, even their laptop or computers unique ID is displayed. These are all free services and I am sure you can figure out quickly which ones are best just by doing a search. If you can not I am more then happy to share with all my SFI friends.
Hope my answer helps you. In SHORT: ALWAYS USE A TRACKING LINK - See your SFI BACK OFFICE for "tracking" and "hit counters" SFI offers their own too!
