How do I track my Reg CF campaign activity?

It is important to track which of your marketing efforts is/are producing the best results, and which one(s) might not be as successful. This should allow you to evaluate which efforts have been more successful in driving traffic to your site, which ones have converted to the most investments, and which efforts you might want to consider halting.

IMPORTANT: You need to setup your tracking right away because the data will not be tracked and later cannot be reviewed.
