analytics help .........its urgent..i request experts to advice

Hi guys .....


i have 2 ecommerce sites ..site A and site B ...

once the procucts from site B are added to cart.., customers are sent to site A for the further payment

so how can i track the visitors going from site B to site A.. using analytics

expert advice is much appreciated

 

If you haven't found the feature in analytics, I doubt there is one if the marketing view doesn't show it.

I would suggest AWstats for something like this, it would probably show such things better.

 

my client is completly against aw stats..........


and more over i am new to analytics ..........god should know my probs

 

My host won't let me install AWstats, I know how you feel. I have only been with analytics for two weeks, and I haven't seen anything that could do this, if it isn't already showing it in the MARKETING section.

Check out the marketing section, look at referrers. If that doesn't work, you might read an FAQ or two.

 

Yes you can do this, it's not too difficult, check here:

Good luck

 

thanks a lot mate ...its really helpful .....hope if i can solve the issue with this


once again thanks a lot

 

again i am at dilema ...

can any one explain the diff between the two statements (the statements have been taken from google analytics)??

1)how do i track a site that has multiple domain names? (2) How do I track a site that uses domain aliases?

for clear pic i will show my links

withcrystalsandstones.com ---> withcrystalsandstones.net MAIN SITE

in the above link if i click on any product i will be taken to .net

crystalflipflops.org ----> withcrystalsandstones.net MAIN SITE

in this case after i press "add to cart" i wil be taken to .net(main site.)

finally i would like to ask if these are multiple domains or domain aliases??

 

is there any one who can help ....i guess 50 members read my post ....

 

I don't remember off hand, but there is some option to see who refers to your domain. Perhaps, you could see the stats for domain B and try to see the referrers from domain A.. I will login to my analytics account in some more time and post the steps. I remember doing this before too, but that was quite long ago when I wanted to check which domains are referring to my site.

 

i will be waiting

 

Hey David, sorry to have kept you waiting. Here are the steps that I had used in the past to check the referring (source) domains to my website.
In your analytics dashboard, click on Marketing Optimization, then select Marketing Campaign Results and then click on "Source Conversion". This will show you all the referring domains to your website and you can select the number of domains to list on the top of that page.

Hope this helps!

 

And if you are very specific about a page from other domain that refers to your domain, then use "Referral Conversion" which will even give you the page/url from other domain that refers to your domain. Is this what you wanted?

 

yeah .....thanks mate ..i will check it now .....bt out of curiosity i wanna ask you some thing

please let me know if the above article best suits me ???

 

Web Trends can do this .. but it's not free and it's not cheap either.

 

ur client is against awstats cause awstats shows much better results than analytics just cause its Googles its over used.

 

Hey David, I am not sure if that will suffice your requirements. I never tried it myself, so can not suggest. Sorry!
