However the very issue you bring up is concerning, and I have had some real disparities with the traffic in my stats and the sales that should be there. I'll get back to this in the thread at some point after more investigation.
I did bring this very issue up with Chatb support last year, pointing out that the code has the referrer ID but the URL doesn't. They claim that it's working fine - and well I do have sales for that traffic.
However I noticed I used the same code with a slight change on my front page - and a different tracking code - and NO SALES. the FRONT page. I get traffic. I compared and made a change. If that works I'll report back.
Furthermore - I also use the interactive embed code iframe- and while you can't click the cam screen - it gets the most sales out of any of the other ads. On the same video view page, this iframe lives on the bottom - and it has a different tracking code and NO SALES. But the traffic numbers are almost as high to the iframes that get SALES - that is the same iframe type (interactive) which appears on the other main pages but less trafficked like Categories, Users, Search.
That is to say the page (video view) where the users are on the longest and the most - is sending about the about 2/3 of traffic - as the other 5 or so pages combined with the same iframe. Here are the stats:
My YTD sales between these two tracking codes
- Tracking Raw Unique Sales Payout
- embed 7283351 4437477 $47923.48 $9584.70
- oldembed 4275758 2632794 $401.95 $80.39
- By comparison a fairly low traffic site - I use the same interactive iframe :
- embedagr 33293 22259 $339.93 $67.99
embed= the interactive iframe on most pages
oldembed = the video view page with same iframe
Needless to say I compared some more and made some changes to the iframe with no sales. There's really only one little code difference I found.
If this changes I'll report back
