Link Click Details

Why is IP address reporting better than simple link click counts?
Here's a perfect example of why it's important to know exactly who is clicking on your links. The following link summary shows 109 total clicks but only three were valid.




Why were only three clicks valid?
Simple, the other 106 came from seach engines. In this case, most came from Yahoo's search engine, crawl.yahoo.com, which repeatedly hit the same link.



Ok, so what about Adjix competitors who claim they filter out both Google and Yahoo search engines?
That's a step in the right direction, but it doesn't account for the hundreds of other search engines and automated Twitter "consumers" that review each and every tweet posted to Twitter.

In the following example, the link posted to Twitter received seven immediate hits, but only 1 and 5 seem to be from humans, since they have Referrers associated to their link. The other five were clearly from "bots." Upon further evaluation, it appears that 1 and 5 were also automated. Seven reportable hits, but none seem to be from a human.

Referrers are only identified on Adjix links posted to a web page. The Referrer column will display the web page that the user was on prior to clicking on the Adjix link. There will be no Referrer reported if a person clicks on the Adjix link inside an email (not webmail) or types it directly into their browser.
