Help with My Reports
Quick Start with My Reports
How do I track my email marketing?
- Tracking your email marketing and e-newsletters is automatic with MyNewsletterBuilder, including email open rates and email link click-through tracking.
- You can turn off tracking for specific email newsletters if desired.
- Just click the Create Newsletter button, build your email marketing or email newsletter message, Save your message and then click the Send button under My Newsletters.
- After your newsletter has been sent, you'll receive an email notice.
- To access tracking information, click the My Reports link in the menu. You'll be able to access open and click-tracking data for your most recent Sent Newsletters and see tracking in real time.
- Over the next few hours, you can click the Refresh link or your web browser's Refresh or Reload button to update the Report in real time.
- Over the next few days, you can return to this web page to see changes.
- Click on a Newsletter Name to view a Detailed Report for a Sent Newsletter.
- You can click on a number in the List or Detailed Report view to access a report with subscribers related to the number you clicked.
What is the email campaign's Email Open Rate?
- The Unique Opens under Sent Newsletter Detailed Report tracks the number of recipients who goes to their email inbox, clicks on your email newsletter, and views the newsletter with images. Each email address is only counted once.
- The Total Opens under Sent Newsletter Detailed Report tracks the number of times someone goes to their email inbox, clicks on your email newsletter, and views the newsletter with images. A single email address may be counted multiple times.
- The Opened Report lists Unique Opens on the left as email addresses (with either First Name / Last Name or First Opened / Last Opened shown).
- The Opened Report lists Total Opens on the right as # Opened.
- If the recipient reopens a recently reviewed email newsletter, the image recently used to tell if the HTML newsletter was displayed may still be "cached" on the recipient's computer, causing the open to not be tracked. This actually helps keep the Total Opens from getting artificially over-inflated in your email campaign statistics for email recipient who use programs that preview and separately display emails.
- Some computer-based email programs can be set up to download images for html newsletters automatically. This can inflate statistics by a very small amount (less than one percent).
- Some web-based email programs can open html emails without automatically downloading images. Recipients are able to click on links in these opened emails. These clicks from "unopened" emails are tracked and will appear in your email campaign statistics as a single Open, using the click-through statistic date and time. This method of tracking opens is only active if Link Tracking is not disabled for the newsletter.
- The number of Opens is not increased if someone clicks multiple links (only if the email is reopened).
- Note: If a recipient forwards your email newsletter without using the Forward to a Friend feature, opens for the forward email may be counted for the initial recipient. Having a convenient Forward to a Friend link in the Content Header for your email can encourage recipients to use the Forward to a Friend feature for enhanced tracking of the social networking aspect of your email marketing campaigns.
What is email campaign Link & Click Tracking?
- Link Reports provide a review of your email marketing results by link, accessed by click on the number of Clicks in the Email Campaign Report Summary.
- Click Reports provide email list subscribers, accessed by clicking on the number of tracked Clicks for each link in Link Reports.
- If one person clicks a link multiple times, this is not reflected in the Email Campaign Report or Link Report, but you can see multiple click-through statistics for the individual subscriber in the Click Report.
- Header and Footer links (Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Preferences, etc.) are not tracked in the Link and Click Reports to avoid artificially inflating your email campaign click-through statistics.
How do I create email lists based on reports?
- You can create Segmented Email Lists from My Reports by clicking the numerical data to view the detailed list of subscribers and clicking the Copy Report button to add the subscribers to a new Subscriber Category.
- It's best to wait a few days after Sending before creating Segmented Lists based on Open Rate and Click-through tracking statistics, since these tend to change as subscribers periodically check their email mailboxes.
