Basket stats of £25584.61?

[Paullas]

Ok on one of my FSB stores i have done some stats. From January 2012 to todays date the basket stats say £25584.61. I done a basket export so have all the IPs, Products etc.

Now would you say something is wrong here? as the revenue stats are as follows:

January - May
Basket Stats: £25584.61
Revenue: GBP3,201.66
Earnings: GBP181.88


I know people add to basket to test but the above seems alot to me.

I have 2-3 sites like this btw.

Would you if having this site move to a dropship model or keep it on FSB

I would say that's in the high of the normal range for basket abandonment, but normal nonetheless.

I'm sure you could get a better conversion rate by improving the basket/checkout usability.

yeah, but how do you improve basket/checkout usability on FSB?

I'm not too sure what FSB is. I run ecommerce sites with my own stock. Is it some type of affiliate ecommerce site? Can you modify the design of it?

 

[Admin]

depends on the sector and how much traffic it took to make that revenue. Affiliate Companies provide stats on earnings-per-click which averages 0.45p across a thousand different merchants I checked.

I would evaluate the hassle of making it a drop-ship versus the ease of leaving it as it is. Do you have time and resources to drop ship?

I don't use FSB either but I just wondered if there is any factor which could be causing abandonment, such as prices in dollars when checking out or perhaps very slow loading pages? They arn't getting any kind of security warning are they? Or being made to choose a "US State" when checking out? I know that can put a lot of British shoppers off.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

When you say "basket export" I assume you mean the basket reports/stats on your FSB store?

If so then it is likely some bots or spiders are messing up your figures.. quite often the bots crawl your site, adding products to their basket and visit the checkout page. This records in the report and can sometimes be massive baskets.

We are building in ip filtering for these so your reports are a lot clearer and you will be able to ban certain bots if you wish.

It does seem like a lot Paul - did you get to the bottom of this in the end?

I'm phasing out my remaining FSB stores - the Amazon commission isn't worth the effort generally I've found.

@secnam your answer is above in my last post. A lot of people have asked the same question as you in the private forum and on closer inspection, it is exactly that - spiders and bots crawling your site and "checking out" with big baskets.

Ah ok, no problem

That is what is likely happening as I said, and I doubt the Amazon support team would figure it out.
