Referrer Site On Orders
Posted: Mon Oct 22, 2001 9:37 am
One thing that I would like to see in ShopSite is the addition of the
referrer site on the order. I basically have been giving a part of an
associate code to sites that I pay to be on. This strategy stamps the
site that the order came from on the order in the same way that it would
an associate. However, I am meeting increasing resistance to my strategy
from pay sites. It would be invaluable if ShopSite could move towards
automatically stamping the information on the order. I used to run a
Yahoo store and most orders had the site the customer had come from to
get to my store as well as search terms that he/she had used (when
appropriate) automatically stamped on the order. This is just invaluable
to know when you are paying to be on a site. How many people are
actually buying and how much they are spending are a far more effective
method of judging the success or lack of success of an ad campaign then
how many people are clicking over, how may times your ad is appearing,
etc.
