    Hi

    I have added an Amazon shop to my site. I did this about four days ago and ever since all of my hits have gone from Google Analyctics. I had either 1 or two visitors showing at first then they have just gone and I am left all alone.

    Is this normal? or have I done something to upset Google search engines?

    The site is www.gardening.ie

    Cheers

    Ian

    Site looks good! I've never heard that the inclusion of an astore would hurt you with google.

    i would say try promoting the heck out of it for a few days and see if there's any change.

    1 or 2 visitor hit a day hardly convert your traffic to sales. no offense but the guide for affiliate marketing conversation is 1/100, which mean u need to have 100 visitors and 1 visitor will actually buy.

    IMHO, dump this web and start another field. or give a second chance to drive in more traffic via article marketing, social bookmarking, etc etc but not PPC.

    good luck

    I have the same problem with Analytics lately. It shows that I haven't had a visitor since 2 weeks ago, on one of my blogs, but other stats, form my server, popularity plug in, Amazon and Ebay say that I am getting a steady flow of traffic, clicks and conversions.

    I don't know why but Google Analytics has never shown me accurate traffic stats on any of my sites. I wouldn't worry about it just yet and try another gauge of traffic stats.
