I have an iPhone application which I would like to promote across a few websites and of course I would like track the number of installations received from leads who came from these wesites. I'm wondering whether it is possible to have a different iTunes links which I will share with the different websites, and then, somehow track these stats or be able to track different sources by HTTP referrer or maybe be able to pass any valuable (in sense of referred source) somewhere in itunes url and then read it any other approach
of course I need to collect this information on every successful installation.
Can you please advise me an approach to deal with such facilities?
Here you go: "Automatically Track App Sale Referrals" (Blog entry on atastypixel.com)
It's basically this: Use your own webserver to create custom download links which redirect to the App Store, and use a statistics tool of your choice to look at the log files (or use an external service like LinkShare which does that part for you).
Apple, unfortunately, does not provide detailed statistics (with referrers etc.) via iTunes Connect, so doing it yourself is the way to go.
