Yesterday, I sent you a message about a sigle thing that indicates if a traffic site is active and converting. If you missed that email you can read it by clicking here.

Today, I continued analyzing data and found an unexpected bonus of my tracking method based on using tags in AWeber.

When you track your traffic the usual way, you can say with occurence how many visitors converted into subscribers. You can get this number for each source, and identify the best converting sites.

But it's hard, if not impossible, to know exactly who comes from a particular source.

You can't know if these people came from 150 Mailer or Send Out Ads, and over time joined Herculist Plus, upgrading and bringing you commissions.

Also you can't tell if these subscribers came from such and such sites and never opened your emails.

So, when you track the usual way, it's easy to measure the quantity of your leads, but it's hard to measure their quality.

You can get 30 subscribers for $10, but they will never open your email, and you end up deleting them within the next 90 days.

On the contrary, you could get only 2 subscribers by spending $100 on upgrading, but in the next 90 days they could bring you $200 in commission.

In the first case you lost $10, in the second case you earned $100.

With tagging in AWeber, you can run deep tracking, measuring the quantity of your leads and the value of the sources they are coming from. This is essential for deciding if you should invest in a traffic source.

Here's an example:
