Microsoft Tag


Microsoft tags can be compared very closely with QR codes.  The difference is that Microsoft tags use four colors in a 5 by 10 grid and the code works in monochrome.  Like QR codes, they have to be large enough in size for a phone to be able to read the code and distance varies depending on the type of ad that the tag is produced on.  Generating a Microsoft tag is simply because there are multiple web sites that can generate tags.  When you track a Microsoft tag, you follow the same basic process as that of a QR code.  You can use the generator to count how many people scan the tag and how many people actually proceed to click around the web site the tag takes them too.
