Total Visitors this week 1330 0 0 0 HOW TO READ THIS ACTIVITY REPORT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS HIT AND ORDERED --------------------- The column labeled "HITS" represents the number of times one of your visitors clicked on your link to this item. This column can help you gauge your visitors' interest in the books you are recommending. NOTE: Zero hits is a perfectly normal result! It usually means that the item was ordered by somebody who followed your link to our home page, used your Amazon.com search box or followed your link directly to another recommended item and then ordered this item as they browsed through our site. In a few cases, it might mean that the customer added the item to their shopping basket during a visit from you during a prior week and only just finalized their order. The two columns beneath the heading "ORDERED" are labeled "DIR." and "NDIR" - these columns show you the number of copies ordered for each listed item during the week. Note that the item's title appears on a separate line above the hits and order quantities. The "DIR." column refers to directly linked items - the individual products you recommended to your visitors. If a visitor follows your link to one of these items and then places the item in their shopping basket on the resulting web page, the quantity they order will appear in this column. Items in this column earn either 5% or 15% referral fees, depending on their selling price and whether they are books or other, non-book products. The "NDIR" column refers to all other items that your visitors added to their shopping baskets during their visit. This includes any item ordered during a visit that begins when somebody follows your link to our home page or uses the Amazon.com search box on your site. If you provide only these kinds of links then all resulting orders would show up in this column. Items in this column earn 5% of their selling price. The column labeled "REFERRAL FEE" represents the referral fees your site has earned on orders. Please remember that we pay you based on orders *shipped*, so your actual Referral Fee may be somewhat lower than the fee stated here. Only after these orders are paid for and shipped will they actually count toward your referral fee. Some of these orders may later be cancelled, customers' credit cards may be declined and occasional returns should be expected; in any of these cases, the referral fee will not be earned. VISITOR COUNTS -------------- A "Visitor" is a person who clicks on book links from your site, and is counted as 1 visitor (above) regardless of the number of different titles they click on. We keep track of this by watching their shopping basket ID, which remains the same for every book they click on. There are 3 columns in the visitor count section: The "ISBN/ASIN" column shows you the number of unique visitors who followed one or more of your links to specific items during the week. The "amz home" column shows you the number who followed your link to the Amazon.com home page during the week. Lastly, the "search" column contains visitors who used your Amazon.com search box. IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING VISITORS: 1) Visitors are unique within each column, but the same visitor will be represented in EACH column that applies. As an example, if only one visitor used your links during the week but used both your search box and a link to a specific item, the report would show 1 visitor in each of those columns. 2) A "Hit" is any person clicking on a book link, and each click is counted as 1 hit. If the same visitor clicks on 5 different titles, we record 1 visitor in the "ISBN/ASIN" column and 5 hits. Therefore, you should expect the number of visitors to be lower than the total number of hits in most cases. Thanks again for your participation in the Amazon.com Associates program. Have a great week! Sincerely, Tom Schonhoff Amazon.com Associates Program
