Determining unique visitors is not an exact science and everyone has their own formula for doing so. With that in mind, we use the following method:
- Cookie tracking: Our server adds a tracking cookie when a visitor clicks on your link. This cookie is timestamped so we can compare their last visit to their current visit. Visitors without a tracking cookie are counted as unique.
- Visit intervals: Once a tracking cookie is set, we won’t count repeat visits within a 30 minute window as unique. If a visitor clicks your link one hundred times in rapid succession, we’ll count the first click as unique and the other 99 as non-unique. If a visitor clicks your link once then returns and clicks it the next day, we will count that as two unique visits.
Greetings,
I recently (couple of hours ago) registered for a professional account. I am both excited and eager to begin deploying specifically tailored links, generating applicable data for analysis. At this time I am having difficulty properly installing the conversion code. I cannot find my conversion page to paste the code, that your site generated for me. Please feel free to message me back at your earliest convenience. I sincerely appreciate your time and consideration in regards to this matter, I hope that you have a wonderful evening. Thanks
Regards,
Lars Lafferty
