How Do You Track Traffic From Etsy For Your Website
You have your Etsy shop and now you finally have your shop website. What’s next? You probably want to know how much traffic you get from Etsy to your website, right?
The Problem We Have Now In Google Analytics
If you just add your shop link, like yourwebsitename.com, in your Etsy shop homepage. Then, all the traffic is under “direct” traffic.
It means you do not know how people find your site or your brand. Then, there is no way to measure if your marketing strategy is working or not.
Why It Is So Important To Know How Much Traffic You Get From Etsy To Your Site
If you started your business in Etsy and now you have your own shop. It is crucial to know if setting up a shop is the right choice for your business, right?
Moreover, you might want to know how people find you. So, you will know which marketing works and which does not work.
Add Reference Link On Your Etsy Shop Page
Do not put “yourwebsitename.com” on your page.
Put a reference link, like “www.yourwebsite.com/?ref=etsy”
Please make sure you have correct shop link.
If you put this Etsy reference link on your shop page only, then it is clear that people who click on this link are from your Etsy shop.
If you want to track traffic from any website, you can also use the reference link. For example, if you have a guest post from another website, then you can add a reference code there to track how much site traffic you get for this guest post marketing strategy.
