Tracking is the key to building ANY business, especially on the Internet.
We have made it VERY EASY for you to create your own tracking links that will instantly show you what's working and what's not working.
All you have to do is add the following code to the end of your URL "&ad=xxx" The xxx being whatever text you want to identify your ad. This will automatically be tracked for you so you will know how many hits came from the URL and how many leads were produced from the hits.
Make sure you utilize a tracking code in EVERY link that you send out and everywhere you post links online.
More info on this in your back office here:

Example.... You just got off the phone with Bob who wants more information, write him a follow up email (or use an email from the members back office by clicking on his name in your "My leads" section) and send him the following link in the email.
www ncdriches com/username&ad=Bob
First, this will let you know if Bob visits your website, it will also let you know how many times he visits the link, which also lets you know if Bob is serious.
Second, it may impress Bob to get a link with his own name in it. He may think... Wow, thats a nice personal touch and it may cause him to click on it to find out more when he may not have otherwise.
Anywhere you advertise online make sure you ALWAYS put your code in the URL so you know whether you are wasting your time or whether you found a great fishing hole to tap into. When you find a great spot or niche market you want to spend all your time marketing there... This will save you a lot of time and also money!
Taking this to another level... Get your own domain name and have it forward to your custom ad URL. Domain names are cheap and they will also help you brand yourself.
If you dont want to buy a domain name you can also use Tiny URL... If you don't know what Tiny URL is it's a FREE service that shortens your domain name and hides any tracking code.
check it out: www.tinyurl.com
Simply enter your URL with your ad source and create your "Tiny URL" Great for Twitter, Facebook and other social networks that limit you on characters in your posts.
Good Tracking = Big Money!
See you at the top,
