I am wondering, how do my shoppers/buyers come into our store?

Could/will BrickLink somehow track how our customers come to the store?

Wanted list notifications
Wanted list
Wanted list by shop
Forum Post
Catalog search

If I am looking at my Wanted list, and then click on a store, from that, BL could
track/send to that store, where I was and clicked on their store. Not to let
the store know who is in the store, but where are their shoppers/buyers searching
and then getting to our store.

Would or could this be a good thing for sellers to know? What say you?

Absolutely. If you host your own splash page, you can install your own tracking
to tell how people get to your splash page. But once they start browsing your
item listings, you lose track of them. Bricklink is tracking them, however, and
there are ways they can share that information with sellers. Other similar sites
do this for sellers.

It really is considered a standard feature at other marketplace sites. Bricklink
is way behind (as it is on many things) and I expect this will eventually be
added here.

great question...i assume for me it was the wanted list notifications. i had
a small amount of sand green i listed and some star wars sets and both those
things are high on the wanted lists so it drove several folks to my extremely
tiny store over the past few weeks.

Through the front door perhaps?

I have abused the shipping option system for a while to create a survey on this.
It turned out that the vast majority of buyers find their way to my store through
item search results. Second most common was coming back because they like/trust
my store, but search results was much, much more common.
