well, to make life easier for yourself, each source should land on a different landing page, or have a query parameter appended for easier identification.

in other words, plan your campaign first. execute second. analyse third. adjust fourth.

rinse and repeat.

planning would have included selecting and testing your tools prior to execution.

that being said, have you checked out google analytics? awstats? analog?

Google analytics is cool. Just plant their javascript in your html page and start tracking :agree:

Do you have a control panel software? If you do have cpanel as your control panel software then awstats is the best and tells you where the person is coming from and how many people are adding you to there favorites.

Personally I use: http://opentracker.net , I find that it is very useful. It allows you to see who is online in realtime, and provides lots of info on your users and the pages they visit. It is not free however, there is a monthly charge. They do offer a 30 day free trial that you can try, and see if it suits your needs. I would love to see a free or cheaper alternative to them, but so far have not been able to find one as good. Just a suggestion. :)

If you know a little of PHP programming, you can consider to write simple code to track the click-ins by using unique IDs that are assigned to different ads channel. For example, http://www.yourdomain.com/?tid=123 for Channel A. At the landing page of your website, write a PHP script to insert/update the hit for tid=123.

Meanwhile for more traffic analysis, can consider Urchin , etc.
