Click-Through Tracker

One of my favorite tools on the list is Click-Through Tracker. Using Click-Through Tracker, you get to check how traffic flows through your site.

To start tracking your site click-thru, you’ll need to first create a tracking URL. In the Add a URL section:

1. Enter the URL you want to track.
2. Enter the name of the link.
3. Click Add URL.
4. Copy and Paste the tracking code in your web page to track the click throughs.

Sample of the tracking code.

Reporting on Click-Through Tracker

In the URLs Being Tracked section:

• Count – Number of clicks to the URL
• Reset – Click on the Reset link if you want to reset the count of the tracking URL
• Remove – Click on the Remove link to delete the tracking URL to remove the tracking code from your web page

StartLogic signup step-by-step guide

StartLogic offers three major hosting plans – PersonalLogic, ProLogic, and VPSLogic. PersonalLogic is the entry level package; ProLogic is the standard shared hosting plan; and VPSLogic is the virtual server with unique IP address. First, select your desired hosting plan and click “Sign Up”. Generally most customers will go with the ProLogic package as it provides best value.

Moving on, you’ll come to a page where you’ll need to select a domain for your registration. It can be an existing domain that you wish to move over to StartLogic; or you can search for a new unregistered domain name. Registration of the first domain name is free if you’re a new StartLogic customer (so why not take advantage on this and get an extra new domain name).

Next you’ll see the summary of your order along with some other products offer. StartLogic offer private business directory submission, extra site backup tools, as well as private SSL services. Pick whatever that you desired and click “Continue”.

Account details are required on the next two steps of the ordering process. First, you’ll need to keyin your password info, full name for the registration, as well as your contacts. Upon check out, you’ll need to submit your credit card (or PayPal) info in order to complete the payment.

Click “Check Out” to finish. As soon as your payment is done you’ll receive a confirmation email from StartLogic, updating you on your order status as well as login details. There you go, you have now complete your signup with StartLogic.

How soon will my hosting account ready to be used?

While StartLogic claims instant activation on their end, I found that there are roughly 15 – 30 minutes delay on the account activation. Thus my advise is to wait for half and hour after you completed your signup and you should be able to sign in here to your StartLogic vDeck.
