I’ve got multiple Envato author accounts, how should I track my traffic across these?
If you have more than one author account, you have two options:
Option 1: Create a Google Analytics property for each Author Account:
- Pros: You'll be able to easily identify the traffic for each author account.
- Cons: You won't be able to see the data from all your accounts together.
Option 2: Use the same Tracking ID to all your accounts:
- Pros: You'll be able to see the traffic/conversions from all your accounts in the same place.
- Cons: You'll need to add some extra configuration if you want to check data from only one account.
I use Impact Radius to generate links, how do I take advantage of these changes?
Simple! Once you’ve constructed a URL with the custom parameters using the steps above, you can paste it into the ‘Create a Link’ section of Impact Radius. This will generate an Impact Radius URL for you which when clicked will still send data back to your Google Analytics account with the relevant parameters.
My total sales numbers from Envato Market do not match Google Analytics revenue figures exactly, why?
There are multiple reasons that this might occur. Most commonly, if a customer follows your campaign URL and proceeds to add your item(s) and an item belonging to another author, this will not send back a conversion event within Google Analytics.
What do I do if I want to send traffic directly to my item page and not the checkout page?
- Copy the item page URL from your browser
https://themeforest.net/item/your-item-name/itemID - Add a question mark to the URL ‘?’ (this creates a query string)
https://themeforest.net/item/your-item-name/itemID? - Add the custom parameters (aid=&aso=&aca=), leaving the ‘&’ from the first parameter
https://themeforest.net/item/your-item-name/itemID?aid=&aso=&aca=
What do I do if I want to send traffic to an item with an Extended License?
To send traffic to an item page with an Extended License, all you need to do is change the parameter within the URL that states: ‘?license=regular’ to ‘?license=extended’.
Example:
Before: https://themeforest/checkout/from_item/[item_id]?license=regular&aid=&aso=&aca=
After: https://themeforest/checkout/from_item/[item_id]?license=extended&aid=&aso=&aca=
From here, just add your Item ID and the custom parameters you want to track.
