How to Report on your Tracker Stats

Measure What Matters

Stats on any section on the platform get us a little giddy and excited (we're nerdy like that), but Tracker stats in particular really help you understand the channels that truly made a difference to your sales and what you need to do more of.

To get started, from the Tradable Bits Homepage, head to Trackers>Stats.

First things first, here's a quick review of trackers and how to set them up properly before you review any of your tracker reports or stats.

Landing Trackers allow you to track multi-channel ROI with shortened links.

Sales Pixels/Trackers can match the clicks on your ads, emails, and posts to final sales.

How to Set Up Trackers

Filter

Use the various options presented to filter your results. You can currently filter based on date, the tracker groups, networks that were used or use a specific tracker key. Click "Search" after entering the relevant filters, and if you would like to remove all filters, click "Reset". By default, the system presents stats for the last week across all trackers.

Active Trackers: Refers to the number of trackers that were active during the window filtered.

Best Practices for Reporting

Now that you know about the different filters, it's important to understand the best ways to utilize them.

First, let's look into some common issues that can arise when trying to pull data from tracker stats to analyze.

Common mistakes to watch out for:

Overlapping Filters - It is extremely important that when using multiple filters, we are careful that the filters we have selected don't negate each other. If you do have overlapping filters, you may pull a misrepresentative sample; overlapping filters can result in the exclusion of specific data that you may want to analyze. For example, if you have a tracker group for organic social, but you only have one network selected, you will only pull the data from the tracker group that corresponds to that network.
Incorrect Date Ranges - When analyzing between different tracker groups, domains, and networks, it can be quite easy to accidentally forget to change the date range. If we think the sample may be wrong, we usually check the date range first.
Improper Tracker Set-Up - another common mistake happens when a tracker is set up incorrectly. For example, let's say a Landing Tracker was set up for all organic Facebook posts. If the "Source Network" wasn't selected when the tracker group was created, then when you filter by the network, this data will not be pulled for analysis.
