Google Analytics reports in Linkhouse: why and how to do it?

Why share your website data with Linkhouse?

There are at least several benefits of making both the main traffic reports and additional statistics available:

• Transparent information on the volume and traffic can positively affect the sales of displayed offers.
• More details can attract informed Advertisers, who will select the type of publication and its value in the right way, so Publishers can receive better orders, more suitable to their activity profile.
• Offers full of statistics, available to any Advertiser, have every predisposition for higher, reasonable pricing.
• By making statistics available, you can save time spent on answering questions or making corrections after publishing/inserting a link.
• “Get found” – accurate demographic data allows you to reach advertisers interested in reach ads and build brand awareness in your location or target audience. An offer containing a full set of statistics stands out not only from other proposals in the Marketplace, but also from many other forms of advertising that do not contain statistics at such a detailed level.

Which data and how does Linkhouse using?

Linkhouse only gets access to those statistics that you provide. They will be visible in the Marketplace to every signed-in user of the platform.

Instructions for sharing statistics

SENDING REPORT TO LINKHOUSE

It is possible to send Google Analytics reports – now you can do it directly from Publisher -> My Sites.

Clicking this icon will load a pop-up window with the option of uploading reports in PDF format, generated straight from Google Analytics.

This module verifies the correlation of the data entered manually by the Publisher with the actual status in Google Analytics.

After uploading the report as a PDF file, the prompt from “The report has not been added yet. Upload now” will change to “Report is pending moderation.” It means that Linkhouse is checking the correctness of the data.

If the data does not match (it was taken from the wrong section or does not contain results for the last 30 days), a prompt will be returned indicating the source of the error.

Traffic verification is only possible for Google Analytics users at this time – we do not offer this option for other tracking systems. If you have problems with the availability of statistics, write to us at support@linkhouse.co

In addition to the number of users and page views per month downloaded so far, we download additional reports from Google Analytics.

In the Linkhouse dashboard, we also provide other information about the website’s audience that may be useful for Advertisers who want to narrow down their search as much as possible. The results will be displayed next to each offer when you hover on the Stats button. Publishers who choose to submit additional reports will receive an additional designation next to the offer. This will allow better exposure for Publishers providing a set of statistics about their portals.
