Warriors I Need Your Help!!

by AmarieP Posted: 12 years ago 3 replies

Hi fellow Warriors, I have a quick question for you.

I have been creating and selling Amazon Sites for a couple months (so I didn't put any type of tracking on the websites and used the same tracking id just to set up the shops). Now at the end of last month for some reason I checked my Amazon account and I made some money, without doing anything. So I have been trying to figure out where this traffic came from. When I look at the reports it looks like every click was a unique visitor, now the first think that comes to my mind is paid traffic but I didn't do any paid traffic or anything at all. Any help will be great!

Also I checked with the sites I sold and none of them have my tracking ID on them and the new sites have their own tracking.

Columns (from left to right)

1. Clicks
2. Unique Visitors
3. Items Ordered (Amazon)
4. Items Ordered (3rd Party)
5. Total Items Ordered

Any thoughts?

That's a hard question to answer but the first thing that comes to my mind is organic search engine traffic. Maybe some of your pages are ranking in Google or Bing and you are getting traffic that way.

Also, do you have any social share buttons on your site? If you do, that could be a possibility as well. Also, it could just be word of mouth. Maybe someone made a purchase from your site and told a friend about it, who knows.

My advice would be to use Google Analytics or some other type of tracking service on the site until you sell it. That way you will always know where your traffic is coming from and if you decide to keep the site, you can use that information to increase your traffic. If you sell the site, just delete the tracking account.

Now if the sales came from the sites that you sold, that's a whole different ball game.

  I have looked at the tracking that comes with the my hosting and very few visitors comes from search engines. Also my sites are pretty much cookie cutters, the sites are not unique and I use a plugin to pull from Amazon. I don't have any social buttons on the sites. And I changed the tracking ID on all of my sites but I'm still getting clicks and sales from this mysterious tracking ID that I can't figure out where its coming from. Also most of the clicks and sales happened in a matter of 9-10 days.
  
  None of the sales came from the sites I sold ( thank god!)
