Yes, redirect hits are clicks. I have about 5000 unique visitors, for 1000 clicks. I think that is very good. Over 1 million page hits a month is out of my league, a way for me to go yet.
I guess it would be better to take about 3 of the higher conversion programs (click to deposit conversion) so webmasters can see if the traffic they are sending is the right type of traffic or maybe its best to contact a few affiliate programs directly?
I don’t mind which way I get the information, I just feel I need some type of yard stick in order to measure my marketing success of failure.
