Is TrackingDesk newbie friendly?

[bshirley]

I am still setting up my first campaign and figured I may as well get a tracker setup as well.

I don't feel like setting up self-hosted tracker since that will not be a good use of my time.

I was going to go with AdsBridge because I see tutorials by them posted in the forum. But since they only have 30 day trial I am leaning towards trackingdesk because I see they have a free plan.

Can anybody who has experience with trackingdesk tell me if its simple enough to use for somebody who has never used a tracker before??

Yes, and their support is brilliant.

I signed up for the free plan.

So far it looks easy enough with the predefined networks drop-down list.

Thanks.

Yes, tracking is tracking. Links and variables and pixels. Learn the basics and you can pretty much use anything thats out there.
A lot of networks offer predefined stuff now and cover more bases. Tracking desk will get in touch with you and offer a 20 minute demo - do it! They will answer any question you have. Generally their support is excellent and I like the UI.

It's a good tracker if you never need to update your click costs on your campaigns.
