Email Link Performance Report + Smart List = Different Values?

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if you can help with this, as I have searched the community and couldn't find a solution to this, although there was post similar to this 

(Email Link Performance figures vs. Smart List figures error) I'm seeing a discrepancy between my smart list and Email Link Performance Report. Here is what I have set up:

Smart List

  • Filter "Clicked Link in Email, Email is [EMAIL NAME]".
  • No constraints or anything else added to the filter.
  • 4 Leads

Email Link Performance Report

  • Filter "Clicked Link in Email, Email is [EMAIL NAME]".
  • No constraints or anything else added to the filter.
  • 6 Leads

None of the leads have been merged, and I also tried adding filters such as "Anonymous is False" and "Email Address is Not Empty." I used the same time frame and same email.  Any suggestions or is this a bug I should take up with support?


Thank you!

Julie

That only makes sense if you have more than one link in your email and are looking at total leads. Do you?

Hi Justin,

We have 3 different links we want to view and yes, I am looking at total leads.

Thanks!

Yeah, so this makes sense. Here is a quick example for you.

-I send Email X containing 3 links to Lead A and Lead B.

-Lead A Clicks link #1 5 times and also clicks link #2 1 time. Link #3 is not clicked.

-Lead B Clicks link #1, #2, and #3 one time each.

I now go to Marketo and setup a Smart List with Filter "Clicked Link in Email -> Email is Email X"

I get 2 leads.

I now go to Marketo and navigate to Email Link Performance. I find Email X and view the results.

Link #1 shows: 6 Clicks, 66.6% Clicks, 2 Leads, 40% Leads

Link #2 shows: 2 Click, 22.2% Clicks, 2 Leads, 40% Leads

Link #3 shows: 1 Click, 11.1% Clicks, 1 Leads,  20% Leads

Total shows: 9 Clicks, 5 Leads

A bit confusing, but you can think of the total in the Email Link Performance report as Total # Clicks and Total # Unique Clicks. Because there is more than one link, if the same lead clicks several links that is more than one unique click.

In setup there is a time variable, what is this set to?

HI Jamie,

Date of activity is set to "ALL TIME" right now, but I also don't have time constraints on my Smart List either, so I'm not sure why they would differ?

Thank you for your help!
