Mary__137064 Gold Member artist Posts: 515	from the Dept of Idle Wondering Sep 27^th, 2009, 9:24am I wonder how many cards are bought by artists each month? I would guess 10%, but I know nothing.

I'd like to know by clicks too...how many are from the outside and how many are just 'our lot' browsing!

Rhonda! Too funny!

Actually in re reading my own post, I guess I can see where they come from to an extent through StatCounter, and Google Analytics. Most of my looks and clicks are from within GCU I think or referred sites, but my search engine quotient is definitely growing!
That's only me though, it still doesn't tell me how many of the cards I see 'whizzing by' are being bought by the artist for resale, or to send to family/friends etc.
I'm figuring they probably wouldn't want us to know that realistically. Wink

hmmm...food for thought. I guess there could be reasons they wouldn't want us to know... Roll Eyes

But, I for one would like to know, because it's good to know what people are buying, which isn't really reflected when people are buying their own stuff.

I have noticed when I'm watching the recently purchased cards whiz by, that Tom almost always has at least one, often more than one, flying by on my screen. Lucky dog. Although I'm sure it's not really luck.

I don't really know alot about search engines and analytics, but I'm a quick learner and I'm hoping to learn about all of that soon!
