Reports: Tracking Statistics
Tracking statistics tell you how many people have opened your message, clicked on a tracked URL, or who have gone from one of your mailings through to other pages on your Web site.
In order to have statistics about opens, you must set Track Opens to Yes in Mailings: New Mailing: Tracking. To have statistics about clickthroughs, you must insert clickable URLs while making content.
If you want to track clickstreams, you'll need to create a Clickstream Tag, and put it on every page you'd like to track on your Web site.
Tracking Summary
This page provides an overview of clickthroughs, opens and clickstreams.
Finding a Mailing
The sort options are:
ID
The ID number ListManager has assigned this mailing.
Mailing Name
The name you have given this mailing.
Sent #
The number of recipients ListManager actually delivered messages to.
Open #
The number of unique recipients who opened the message using an email client which can read HTML. If a recipient opened the message in two different clients, or with a client and a web browser, only one open will be registered.
Open %
The percentage of unique recipients who opened the message using an email client which can read HTML.
CT #
The number of unique recipients who clicked on at least one trackable URL. This number may be greater than the number of opens if some recipients have HTML images disabled.
CT %
The percentage of unique clickthrough hits versus recipients.
CS #
The number of web pages that have been visited by recipients of this message. This number may be greater than the number of opens or unique recipients if you put your Clickstream Tags on multiple pages, or if recipients visit your page multiple times. Offline events can be seen here as well, by clicking on the CS#. For more information on offline events, see Utilities: Other: Offline Events.
If a recipient receives your message and goes to your Web site directly without clicking on a trackable URL, the clickstream may not be recorded (depending on the recipient's email client settings).
CS %
The percentage of unique click stream hits versus recipients.
Created
The date the mailing was created.
Status
Whether a message is new, currently sending, performing a retry, or is done.

Download as a File
Click on the disk icon to download your tracking statistics in CSV format. This file can be opened and read using Excel and other programs.
Opens
Charts of open rates, for individual mailings, lists, or all your lists. Includes charts on unique, total, aggregate and estimated opens.
Clickthroughs
Charts of clickthrough rates, for individual mailings, lists, or all your lists. Includes charts on unique, total, aggregate and estimated clickthroughs.
Forwards
Charts of forwarding rates, for individual mailings, lists, or all your lists. Includes charts on most forwarded mailings, who forwarded them, and forwards over time. Note that forwarding information is also displayed on the Member history page for each member.
Note that on the "List Forwarding Detail" page, the Forwards number you see on the left is the number of unique TCP/IP addresses each person has forwarded at least one message to. If two different messages were forwarded to the same TCP/IP address, this page when then only show 1. Therefore these are "unique forwards". To see forwarding details, click on this number. What you now see are all the forwards, regardless of the TCP/IP addresses involved. So if there were 8 unique forwards, and you see a list of 9, that means that one of the TCP/IP addresses received a mailing twice.
The "Mailing Forwarding Detail" page offers more detail regarding the forwards of individual mailings. The date and title of the mailing, how many recipients it was sent to, and the number of forwards for each is seen. In addition, a percentage of number sent which was forwarded is displayed. For example, if it was sent to 100 recipients, and forwarded only once, it will display 1%.
Both the List Forwarding Details and the Mailing Forwarding Details can be downloaded as a CSV file for further analysis.
