| | Thanks for replying. I kind of thought that might be the case and you have confirmed
it.
I'm very new to selling, but a web developer myself, so any tips welcome.
Do you just embed one into your terms/splash page?

| | Hi
I was wondering if was possible, or if it would make sense to stop the visit
count going up when you visit your own store. This would give a more accurate
idea of how many other people have looked at your store.
If I am misunderstanding what it is for please correct me.

The visitor counter is totally flawed and should not be used as an indicator
of visitors. If you press and hold the F5 Ker whilst in your store, or anyone
else does, you can make the counter jump horrendously.
We went from 60000 visitors a long time ago to 250,0000 overnight and you know
that cannot be real.
We had our web designer deal with this and now use our own counter, which many
other people also do.
It is a shame really as it appears Bricklink use Google analytics and could provide
much better information but to date have not seen this as important.
Good luck with your suggestion but without a radical change to the way the Bricklink
one currently works it is not helpful information.

That is the normal way, but to be honest I amm not sure how our guy did it. Will
ask him and repost.
It would be so much better if Bricklink would open up Analytics and let us all
do and see what we want.

Out Log.
Thank You.

Bumping. It would be nice to be able to download this info into an excel sheet.
It would make cross checking my records easier.
Thank You.

Hi there - voted no but need to explain. The part out log as it stands at present
isn't really much value. It needs to incorporate the transaction detail (which
it holds) before it would be worthwhile downloading it. The only thing it contains
at present is the set id and the date you parted it out.
But, again, unfortunately nothing is going on on the classic site whatsoever
- all development effort is being utilized on Bricklink XP (or whatever they
end up calling it).

Hi there - very strange
We add the tracking url to our drive through messages and it works fine.
This is the URL that we use, replacing the [TRACKING NUMBVER] field with the
Post Office tracking number.
http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/track?trackNumber=[TRACKING NUMBER]
|
That already looks better than mine.
But wouldn’t it be more nicer to mention the tracking number only in the drive
through message, and this tracking number is a hyperlink, on which the buyer
can click to get routed to the courier’s statuspage?
|
That above URL is pasted into our drive-thru messages with the appropriate number
in it (replacing the word tracking number) and over 5000 orders later we have
never had a problem other than they click on the link and the post office haven't
updated the information yet but that always goes away after a day or so.
Go to your postal service or courier web site and I am sure in their support
section they will have a list of the URL's to use with examples. That is
what we did
We still agree with you about smartening up the message capabilities so it can
be more of a marketing tool but at least you should be able to do this without
any problems.
