Hits Connect Review
I’ve always tracked my web stats using Google Analytics since it was free. However the only thing Google Analytics is really good for is showing you how much traffic your website is getting, and where it is coming from.
I wanted more out of my statics so I searched for a program to help me track my sales from start to finish, and that’s when I stumbled upon Hits Connect. At first I didn’t join, because I was still unsure if this is what I wanted.
After going back and forth for about a week I finally purchased a membership to Hits Connect for $19.97 as a Partner Membership.
Now I’ll admit when I first logged in I was a little confused as what to do, and how to set everything up. What made this process easier though was the “How it works video” they have in the back office. It shows you exactly how to set everything up. They also have a PDF file called “Training Manual” which I read over and it was very helpful. It basically goes over why you should track your stats, and gives you some good information on how to use Hits Connect to its fullest.
One of the main reason I joined Hits Connect was because I wanted to track what advertisements where making me sales. Now with Hits Connect allows you to place a very small line of code on your “Thank You Page” or whatever page the visitor will see after they buy your product.
In your back office it shows you exactly how much traffic you got from each site, but what I love is it shows you which sites (or advertisements) made you a sale! This is exactly what I was looking for when I set out to find a software program to help me traffic my sales and traffic.
Finally something I didn’t know Hits Connect offers is a page rotator. This is a great feature which allows you to rotate multiple URL’s on one website. I haven’t started messing around with this yet, but I will be in the next week or so.
For the money I spent it was well worth it as they do exactly what I was looking for.
