3) Skip ads and listings

4)  Yahooo... Google analytics is just around the corner!  With GA we will be able to see in black and white whether your ad writing, blogging, commenting etc is producing traffic!  Here is a message from admin to set it up….   In preparation for this, I'd like to ask everyone to register their iCraft Exhibit URL on Google Analytics.

Here is how you can do it:

1. Go to http://google.com/analytics and sign up for an account or log into your existing account.
2. If you have an account with them, click on "Add New Website Profile". In the URL area and enter your iCraft URL like icraftgifts.com/vintage_inspired_jewelry or icraftgifts.com/beaumonde.

3. Skip the "Tracking Code" page by scrolling down and clicking the "finish" button and proceed to the next page.

4. On the next page you should be able to see your Profile ID.
It will look something like this UA-2622771-9.

That's it for now. I'll provide you with more instructions in a few days.
All you need to do is to have that Profile ID handy. Thanks!

That’s it!!  For those that are all caught up I would love to have help doing shop critiques. Email me pretty please 

Hi
another tool I find extremely useful is http://www.itools.ca/ Check it out. You'll find currency converter, language translator, dictionary, map, business finder, just to name a few. There's a nifty tool on itools call Quarkbase which also gives you complete information about a website from over 30 data sources from the Internet, including social popularity, traffic, associated people, similar and related sites, domain ownership and registration dates, etc... Similar to Google analytics. The good news is: It's all free!
