So, you’ve taken the plunge into the virtual world of internet marketing. You’ve planned your strategy, crafted your marketing plan, prepared your marketing materials, and launched your internet marketing campaign. Congratulations! That’s a lot of hard work. Once you’ve got your plan in motion, half the battle is done. However, that’s not the end of your internet marketing endeavor. Every marketing program, whether offline or online, needs to be followed up on to ensure that your advertising and promotional efforts are truly producing results.

Follow-up efforts that are crucial to success in internet marketing include tracking each source of marketing that you use, determining which sources are producing results, analyzing the effective methods, and revamping the ineffective methods. So, running a results-oriented internet marketing campaign is an ongoing effort that requires constant monitoring and refining.

Website logs are a wonderful source of information that aids in monitoring your internet marketing program. By reviewing your website logs you will be able to determine where traffic that comes to your website is directed from. Be sure that your web hosting package has a control panel through which you can access your traffic logs to see the source of your website traffic. Your hosting company should be able to explain how to read the web logs to determine the number of visitors you have, the number of pages viewed, which of your pages are the most popular, how the visitors found your website and where they came from.

If the information provided through your website reports is insufficient in determining the effectiveness of your website promotional activities, it may be beneficial to purchase a software program for website traffic tracking and analysis. When you have the reports at your fingertips that enable you to monitor, track and analyze your website traffic you will be able to determine which of your internet marketing techniques are most effective so that you can constantly improve and enhance your internet marketing program to ensure that it produces results both in terms of traffic to your website and in converting that traffic to sales.

A comprehensive internet marketing program includes market research, strategy development, campaign design, and launching the campaign. Monitoring the campaign and making adjustments to your strategy and techniques will ensure that your marketing efforts are effective. You should strive not only to bring traffic to your website, but also to convert website visitors to customers.
