Tracking where views are coming from...?

So after posting tons of stuff on wanelo, I will get a huge spike in views on the items I posted there, however in my stats it does not say traffic is coming from wanelo, it has a huge number in direct traffic though... is this the same thing?

I'm not sure, I was thinking the same thing. I get 20-50 views a day from direct traffic, and I use stumbleupon, Wanelo and Pinterest. However, my stats show only a few views from these actual sources.

I did the same and figured something out: if you post something on Wanelo, it counts as a direct view as it transfers the information to the site. People coming from Wanelo will have the site as their source of traffic, the direct views are from you posting your own work. Sort of a false positive.

Ha, it took me a while to figure out too. Hope you get some results - I posted a couple of things on there and not only did one item trend for two days, but I got my first two sales through the site.

I don't know but for me it did say Wanelo in my shop stats when I got views from there, it was not counted as direct traffic...

I've heard a lot of buzz about Wanelo but don't really know what it is. I just went and signed up, now what do I do? =)

Is it like pinterest?

Ilse, that's how it works - views from the site means someone else is looking at your stuff, direct traffic immediately after you post something to Wanelo means the site is connecting and you're not getting real views. That's just you.

Ashlee, Wanelo is a little like Pinterest, except it's apparently more lax about you posting and promoting your own work. You go around, follow people and have some follow you, save products you like to collections that you can make and name, and post some of your own so other people can find them. Everyday on the front page they show what's popular and what's trending. There's a Wanelo team on Etsy, too.
