Link Tracking
If we want to track our links, are we supposed to use the "Add Tracking to Any Link at WA" under "Links & Tracking," or do we use the link tracking system under "Tools" in the dashboard? Is there a difference, or is the one under tools outdated?
Thanks!

Hi Jenna. Thank you for following me back. I like how you portray your vulnerability in your first blog. I certainly feel the same way. I haven't written my first entry yet but I only joined 5 days ago so maybe tomorrow. :-)
Hi Emilie, I am so sorry you wrote this a month ago and I never replied! Please forgive that.
I appreciate your comment, thank you.
So you have been here about a month or so now? How are things going? Do you need help with anything?
Have a great weekend. :)
Hi Jenna, thank you for your reply. Don't worry, I know what it's like :-).
All is well with me. I working on the content for my website. I am a bit slow but it's ok since I am not in a hurry. I want to enjoy the process without stressing over it.
Enjoy your weekend.

Hello Jen,
Depends what you plan to track I guess.
1) "Add Tracking to Any Link at WA" under "Links & Tracking"
Is basically to share your WA referral link around and determine what converted. For example, if you plan to share your WA affiliate link in a facebook group, you may add "facebookgroup" in "Enter Tracking ID".
In the case you get someone joining you from that facebook group it would be tagged as "facebookgroup" in "My Stats" > Entrance Details (Tracking ID).
If you run several advertising campaign at once, it's useful to know what works and what don't.
2) Link tracking system under "Tools" in the dashboard.
This one pretty much works for everything. If you want to track the results for another affiliate program you could use that one.
To sum up: first is easier when it comes to promote WA since you got everything sum up inside your "My Stats" tab, while the second works for pretty much everything.
Hope it helps! Good luck! :)

Hi Tanguy, thanks so much, I appreciate it. :)
Do you use tracking?
I'm not using the one from the section "Tools" as I was already having a tracking service before joining WA.
But I'm using the one from https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/share/links ; as it's really simple to use to know from where conversions come! :)
For example, when promote through banners I create a few and test different colors, text,... to see which one works the best. It helps to improve the results you got from your advertisement over time.
Cheers.

I haven't started using it yet, but think I will.
Just an FYI to everyone, Kyle mentioned in chat the the link tracking system under "Tools" would be phased out, and merged with the tracking system on the Stats - Links and Tracking page.
Thanks again for your help, Tanguy.
Have a great weekend.
