Of course, you can overcome the limits in several ways. For example, by using a lead capture page that allow you to add an alternative tracking pixel. LeadsLeap allows that, and I highly recommend using it if you are a beginner.
But LeadsLeap wasn't an option for me, so I had to invent something
else.
In AWeber, you can tag every subscriber who joins your
list. So you can create a dedicated landing page for each traffic source and tag people coming from that particular source.
Let's say, you create a page specifically for YouTube with the tag "youtube". You place the link under your video, and if anyone subscribes to your email list, you'll know they come from YouTube. Same thing with
your blog or Facebook.
Among other tracking methods this is the most accurate and easy to implement.
Generally, you could create one page for mailers or particular network of sites, and
another page for traffic exchanges. Other pages can be dedicated for banners, text or login ads, etc.
But if you want to identify the best converting sites, you need to create a page for each traffic source you work with and assign a unique tag.
I did exactly this last week and received eye-opening data that will help me and you decide where to spend more time and what needs to be cut off mercilessly.
Last week I sent 21,790 cold visitors to the duplicates of the following pages:
In total, visitors converted into 118 subscribers. The average conversion rates are 185:1 or 185 visitors to get one subscriber.
Here's a list of best converting sites last week:
Send Out Ads - 312 visitors, 10 subscribers (31:1)
Mister Safelist - 148 visitors, 4 subscribers (37:1)
List Mailer Plus - 164 visitors, 2 subscribers (82:1)
150 Mailer - 266 visitors, 3 subscribers (89:1)
Mailsy - 182 visitors, 2 subscribers (91:1)
Viral Mailer For You - 1,064 visitors, 9 subscribers (118:1)
State-of-the-Art-Mailer - 269 visitors, 2 subscribers (135:1)
100 Percent Clicks - 279 visitors, 2 subscribers (140:1)
Free Advertising For You - 1,146 visitors, 5 subscribers (229:1)
Herculist
Plus - 1,127 visitors, 4 subscribers (282:1)
These sites are currently the best, so for the upcoming week, when you send your ads, start with them.
Let me know if you want help to build your list and traffic. I'm here for you.
Thanks.
