Overview

The plugin helps WordPress site owners review how ads are performing by tracking impressions and clicks. It calculates click-through rates for each ad, and its analytics screens let you examine traffic, ads, placements, and advertisers. You can use the statistics to compare activity and identify which ads receive more interactions.

Tracking data can be sent to the database, Google Analytics, or both. The plugin also supports reports that can be shared with clients or teams, plus CSV export for further analysis. Set impression or click limits, exclude selected user roles or individual ads from tracking, and manage link attributes and opening behavior for ads.

Features

  • Track ad activity: Record impressions and clicks for ads, then review the activity in analytics screens covering traffic, ads, placements, and advertisers.
  • Calculate click-through rates: Automatically calculate the click-through rate for each ad so you can compare how often ads receive clicks relative to impressions.
  • Choose tracking destinations: Send tracking data to the WordPress database, Google Analytics, or both, according to how you want to collect ad statistics.
  • Review and share reports: Create reports to share with clients or teams, and export statistics as CSV files for further analysis or record keeping.
  • Set ad activity limits: Set caps on ad impressions or clicks to control how often ads are shown or interacted with on your site.
  • Exclude selected traffic: Exclude specific user roles or individual ads from tracking to filter out internal, test, or otherwise unwanted activity.
  • Manage ad link behavior: Set ads to open in a new browser tab and apply nofollow or sponsored attributes to ad links.

Best for

  • WordPress publishers tracking ad performance
  • Marketers reviewing campaign activity
  • Agencies sharing ad reports with clients
