How Can I Get Detailed Statistics on Who is Viewing My Booth, Items, and Profile?

If you're a Bonanza pro subscribers, you can use Google Analytics to get a highly detailed picture of who is viewing your booth and items, when they are being viewed, where they are coming from, and more. Here's how to get it working:

  1. Sign up for a Google Analytics account, if you haven't already.
  2. Get your Google Analytics tracking code number. Note that you don't need the entire block of code that Google gives you for tracking, just the account identifier. In the block of code Google gives you, there is a line that reads something like: "_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-1234567-8']);" You need to grab the "UA-1234567-8" part of the tracking code (minus the quotation marks, don't grab them!). This is your account identifier.
  3. Sign in, then go to Sell on Bonanza -> Edit booth options.
  4. Paste the tracking code you got from Google into the field that requests your Google Analytics tracking code (it's near the bottom).
  5. Click the "Save all of my changes" button at the bottom of the Basic Settings page.

Within a few hours, you should be able to log into your Google Analytics account and see your detailed stats. Note that Google usually has a delay of a few hours between when the pages are viewed and when those views are reflected in your Google Analytics stats.

If you're not a subscribing member, you can use our rudimentary item statistics instead. These can provide some baseline details about how many people are seeing your items.

Q. I just saved the Google Analytics as according to instructions. Now can someone explain in layman terms what this actually does and the advantage. Thanks.

A. Google Analytics gives you a way to see where your booth traffic is coming from, which words are leading people to your booth, and much more. You can get more information from the Google Analytics website.

Q- Do I have to have a google e-mail address to get my code?
A- You do need to have a Google account, but it is easy and free to sign up. When you click on the “Sign up for a Google Analytics account” link above it will prompt you to sign up for a Google account if you have not already.

Q: I have posted the Google Analytics tracking code in my Advanced Settings (under Subscriber options). Where do I go (is it on Bonanza or Google) to find the information such as: where my booth traffic is coming from, what words are leading people to my booth, etc?

A: The Google Analytics code that you entered into your booth setup allows Bonanza to send information to Google about where your search inquiries and page views are coming from. You need to log into your Google Analytics account to view the information and statistics related to your Bonanza booth.
