What do I need to track opens and clicks for my emails?

I created an account. What do I need to do to start tracking my emails?

After you created an account on G-Lock Analytics, follow these simple steps to startusing the system:

Step 1. Upload the redirect script to your web site.

Download the redirect script from your account and upload it to your website.

You can upload the r.php or r.asp file to the root directory on your server. Example:

http://www.yourdomain.com/r.php

You’ll use the http://www.yourdomain.com/r.php as the redirect script URL when creating your campaign then.

Or

You can create a folder on your server, for example, http://www.yourdomain.com/c/, rename the r.php (or r.asp) file into the index.php (or index.asp) and upload the index.php file to http://www.yourdomain.com/c/ folder.

In this case you enter http://www.yourdomain.com/c/ as the redirect script URL when creating the campaign.

Step 2. Add a campaign to your account.

A campaign is your email message that you will track. The tracking statistics for the message will be stored in the campaign.

When adding a campaign, type the URL of the redirect script on your site in order tracking links contain your own domain. Type either http://www.yourdomain.com/r.php or http://www.yourdomain.com/c/ depending on to which folder you uploaded the redirect script.

Copy the tracking image code and paste it into the message source. Add your regular links to G-Lock Analytics and convert them into the tracking links. Copy the tracking links and use them in your email instead of normal links.
