osCommerce merchants can easily track their statistics through google analytics. This is done through some code placed on the confirmation page of your e-commerce website. Once installed simply tell google analytics to track e-commerce and you will get a new report available through your dashboard like the image above. Once the view report link is clicked more statistics will be available such as the conversion rate, number of transactions, average order value, and more.
Google analytics will also let a merchant view their conversion rates as a graph or rates per day. This is handy for those who like a more graphical view of their data. The google analytics e-commerce tracking code is fairly simple to install on your osCommerce store or Justin can add the code in for a small fee.
Do you use google analytics and e-commerce tracking? Post your site below. Remember I use the “I Follow” plugin on this blog

Check out this cool site that will calculate the fees that you will get when you take a PayPal payment. Pretty handy! PayPal Fee Calculator. Notice the bottom print. This site is not associated with paypal in any way.
Well it’s already November first already! Two months let of 2007. Where did the year go!
I am a member of BNI, a business networking organization. I frequently read/listen to the posts over at BNIPodcast.com. I was also reading from Dr. Misner’s blog at Entrepreneur.com and he mentioned some creative business card ideas. The best was to hand write your cell phone number on your business card. Doing this gives your card something personal and raises the chance your prospect will keep it.
Some other ideas for networking are to get out of your comfort zone, talk to people! Don’t just start handing out your card ask them what they do. Ask what they did before that. Be sincerely interested in what they do and you will stick out in their mind. We all know an insurance agent but do we know more about them such as they play in a band or are an Eagle Scout? Take your time and listen.
Any other networking ideas? Post some comments and we can all work to be super networkers!
