If you are a Select Registry Member, and are using Google Analytics (GA) to track your traffic and / or revenue, you need to know that as of the release of the new Select Registry Guidebooks, there are now not just one, not just two, but three different referral sources you now need to be looking for in your GA account to assist in determining your Select Registry (SR) Return on Investment (ROI).
Referral Source 1: The direct “VISIT SITE” link to your Website from the SR Website

The "CHECK AVAILABILITY" button is going through the JackRabbit system. You can learn more here about JackRabbit tracking.
