Great question. I first studied the key code area under power tools.

After setting up my 5 SFI web sites and adding key codes, I copied and pasted them in my app called (notes) on my ipad.
I labeled each one, what it was called and what I was promoting.

Just add a period behind your sponsor code then add your key code.
Then to track specific social media postings, I copied and pasted my gateway sites to my notes.
I labeled one for Facebook; to promote triple

I already done it.

Open new file on your computer and write down all codes you added on which links and where.

Be aware that your records of hit tracking are reset every sunday.

Use your hit tracking here: https://www.sfimg.com/PowerTools/HitTracking and make notes about clicks. Now you have statistics, you can read from your tracking where to advertise on which day.

For example: add tracking code 789 to your ad on classifield ad in USA, and track clicks

To set up a system to organize and track your advertising you must set goals. Most affiliates fail to set the expectation early on and therefore they are unable to get the most out of their advertising. Another mistake commonly made is trying to advertising in too many places at one time without proving which is most effective.

Therefore, it is a must that you outline your goals. How many PSAs are you looking to recruit? How many ECAs are you looking to recruit? How many SFIPPAs

Very simply put - just open up a Microsoft Office Excel Sheet (or get a free one from Office Org) and number each row one step further from where you start. EG. if you start at 001 the next obvious one is 2, 3, 4 etc.

As you put in new advertising with a new site take the next number and use it for key coding the site.

Along with that in the columns, make different columns for
1) your keycode
2) no of hits...........after a while I find that there are too many hits

A system to track the advertisement is available in "Power Tools " Tab ie, " Hit tracking" ,use an Excel or spreadsheet to organize it .

Points to remember

1.Use the key codes in your advertisement gateway for easy tracking

Example -http://www.sfimg4.com/xxxx.1515/FREE , ( The "xxxx" should be your affiliate id and the digits after that should be changed in each advertisement )

Three Key Codes are reserved for SFI corporate

You can use paper, a spreadsheet or even a database to perform steps 1 to 5. You do NOT need a complicated system, but as you grow it would make your system a LOT easier to track if you used a computer based tool like a spreadsheet.

IMPORTANT: All steps require you to track the advertising source of each lead. Use Key Code Tracking!

1) Track the "per lead" cost from your advertising. Ad cost divided by total number of leads generated.

2) Track the "per

Hi Marlene

You are Intelligent indeed by asking this type of question.

By asking this question I would like to assume that you are already familiar with SFI's inbuilt tracking and Key-code system for organizing and tracking your advertising (i.e traffic source, conversions etc)
Personally, In order to keep track of what codes I used previously in my advertising I use Open Microsoft's Office's spread sheet. I find it a handy organizing tool in that regard.

Hi Marlene,

The best way to start is to add key codes to your personal SFI and TC Gateways or any other Gateways you may choose to promote. Gratefully, SFI provides you the tools to use on this link:

The key codes will assist you to track the volume of traffic to your ads and the conversion rates. Armed with the information, you can easily decide which promotions are doing poorly and do require some

"How do I set up a system to organize and track my advertising?"

Well i don't think you need anymore system to organize your advertisement since SFI has already provide everything we need to organize our advertisement for free,what you have to do is to use your HIT TRACKING and KEY CODE to track where your advertisement are coming from.
1.use Hit tracking to know how many hits your links(gateways) are receiving every week before its reset by the system .visit this link
