You can use discussion- and website-based advertising campaigns (called "ads") in strategic locations in your site. As a Super Admin, you can access an ad-based report that provides information about ads that were clicked during a specified date range.
If your site has microsites, you can run a report to get daily counts of views and visitors for a selected microsite to monitor its traffic and activity.
To access the Site Traffic and Ads reports:
- In the Admin Toolbar, click Admin.

All of the available options are described in Admin Reports.
