How ViewTracker™ Works
When you sign up to use the ViewTracker™ counter, you'll receive a "snippet" of HTML code to "copy and paste" into your auction descriptions (or auction template).
This code causes two things to happen:
- It creates a counter that appears at the bottom of your auction, as depicted to the right. (This counter can be hidden if you prefer not to include a visible counter in your listings.)
- Every time someone visits your auction, it sends data about that visit to your ViewTracker™ account.

The information you receive includes:
- Visit date/time
- Visit duration
- Current price
- Number of bids
- High bidder ID
- If on Watch List
- If a return visit
- ...and more!

ViewTracker saves this visitor data for each of your auctions (and/or store items) and when you log into your ViewTracker account, the data is presented to you in a user-friendly format.
ViewTracker lets you see your auction data from several perspectives:
- Account Overview - See at a glance how many listings you're tracking, how many unique vistors each listing has attracted, how many
listings have bids, the accumulated value of those bids, the total number and percentage of listings being "watched," and more.
- Detailed Visitor Log - This visitor-by-visitor log of every hit to your listing(s) shows you
which customers have been viewing your auctions, the length of their visit, how
often they visited, and more.
- Other Analytical Viewsws - For any tracked listing (or group of listings), we give you the ability see visits charted by hour, visits grouped by day of the week, and hit counts for each unique vistor to determine who's really interested.
Not only is ViewTracker a great way to keep tabs on your current auctions, it also allows you to learn from your previous auctions by performing "what if?" tests on any group of auctions.
For example, if you sell jewelry, you can look only at the auctions within the past six months that had "diamond ring" in the title. Now, you can use ViewTracker to see which hour of the day those auctions received the most traffic! It's a good bet that this will be the best hour to schedule your diamond ring auctions to end!
With ViewTracker, all you have to do is gather all your previous listings of similar items (using our powerful search tool) and then view the "Hi-Lites" for that group.
