In this video post I will show you how to monitor banner ad clicks via Google analytics

On my site I have a number of banner ads which link to my WordPress technical support page.  I wanted to see if I could measure performance of  these banner ads.

There are a number of plugins out there which will track clicks on ads, but I wanted to use Google analytic s which I use for all of my other monitoring needs.

Here is a quick video posts to show you how to track clicks on your banner ads, be they internal links or off site links to affiliate or other sites.
