Rolling Numbers Calculator

Introduction

In order to accurately track each visitor to your website, we need to ensure that there is a big enough pool of tracking numbers. The required size of the number pool will depend on the number of concurrent visitors to your website or individual web pages that you wish to track. For the highest level of accuracy of tracking, each concurrent visitor to your website will need to see a different tracking number.

Delacon has created the Rolling Numbers Calculator that can assist you with calculating your number requirements for accurate tracking.

Below steps outline how to retrieve the data needed for the calculator.
