WatchWise works by responding to specific tags that you add to your Web pages. These tags send WatchWise the information it needs to count page hits, count downloads, or keep track of hits on advertisements.
Each event WatchWise records needs a unique identifier which you will need to provide. You will then be able to differentiate among events (web pages, files to be downloaded, ads to be clicked) when they are listed in your "Site Statistics" report. The example tags below require you to replace the string 'report_text' with your own identifier for that event, and replace 'www.example.com' with your website name (URL). The 'report_text' can include upper or lower case, but no spaces or special symbols like !, :, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, (, ), +, =, or brackets. Examples: Main_page.html, sales.html, DL_file1.zip.
