Site Traffic
Since site traffic changes day by day, it is best to provide you access to our site logs via a 3rd party site traffic tool. So you can take a look at our Google Analytics (3rd party site log reporting) results at any time if you are a legitimate advertiser. Send us an email asking for access to our Google Analytics results along with the reason why you want to see them, and we will link your gmail email account (you must have a gmail account) to our Google Analytics results. Our Google Analytics results will show you the number of page views, visitors, visits (sessions), and more for the GolfInvestors web site.

Ad Management Software
GolfInvestors uses it's own web-based software to allow advertisers to manage their own ad campaigns. Along with the ability to add as many ad campaigns as you desire or need, you are able to choose maximum ad impressions for a campaign and target the ad campaign by user address (i.e. country, state, and zip code), and website section and page ( see list of sections ). Advertisers are able to have access to their account 24 hours a day with their chosen id and password.
The GolfInvestors ad management system can integrate with various other ad management systems, such as Doubleclick's DART application.

Results/Reports
As mentioned above, GolfInvestors has developed its own software to allow advertisers to manager their ad campaigns on golfinvestors.com. This was done (vs. using a program like Doubleclick's DART application) to create more interaction between advertisers, sponsors, affiliates, and GI users over time. With this Ad Management system, an advertiser has 24 hour access to their ad orders and results. The status report shows you how many times your ad has been viewed and clicked on (i.e. click-throughs). You can sort these results by time, views/click through, location of user, and age bracket.
