-----SIDEBAR-----<br />

Now let’s cover Click Through Analysis...<br />

Click throughs occur when people click on a link on your<br />

Theme-Based Content Site and leave it (they don’t actually<br />

leave since you pop open a new window for them!). We should<br />

actually call them "click OUTS" -- but since the industry is<br />

used to "click through," we’re stuck with that term!<br />

Click throughs earn you income. Why’ Well, it all depends<br />

where those click throughs are going...<br />

o affiliate programs -- a percentage <strong>of</strong> those turn into<br />

sales or leads (or whatever action your merchant-partner<br />

pays for)<br />

o your own online store -- a percentage will buy,<br />

yielding you a pr<strong>of</strong>it<br />

o your "sales site" that sells an e-book or s<strong>of</strong>tware that<br />

you developed, or even your services.<br />

To maximize click throughs, <strong>of</strong> course, you know that you<br />

must create high-value content that Over delivers what your<br />

visitors were looking for. Blending "in-context" TEXT links<br />

into your copy gets the click through.<br />

Once you’ve done that, <strong>of</strong> course, you need a way to know<br />

what’s "getting the click"... and what’s not! And that’s<br />

where Click Through Analysis comes into play.<br />

In order to do Click Through Analysis, you convert your<br />

regular OUTGOING links (i.e., links to your merchantpartners,<br />

your online store, and/or your sales site) into<br />

special tracking links. When your visitor clicks on such a<br />

link, she first goes to a computer program that records the<br />

click, and where it came from. Then the program sends the<br />

visitor to the income-building site that you had specified.<br />
