Conversion Tracking: What It Is and How It Works

Conversion tracking records whether a visitor completes an action you care about—such as a purchase, lead, signup, call, or booked appointment—and connects that action back to marketing activity.

Marketing Attribution Explained Without the Jargon

First-Party Tracking: A Practical Beginner’s Guide

First-party tracking uses data collected in the direct relationship between a visitor and the website or business they are interacting with, rather than depending primarily on third-party tracking across unrelated sites.

How to Track Affiliate Links Without Losing the Plot

Affiliate link tracking helps you identify which page, campaign, email, ad, placement, or creative generated a click—and, when the network supports the necessary data flow, which of those clicks later produced a conversion.
