The marketplace code is based on that of addons.mozilla.org (AMO) and we had a tracking feature where you can link to an install page with a src parameter (set to whatever). This exists in Marketplace. For example, if you search for an app then go to the install page, the URL looks like this: https://marketplace.mozilla.org/en-US/app/checkers/?src=search If you install the app from that page, the src is recorded. In AMO we showed developers a tally of sources that led to the install of their add-on in their statistics dashboard. Here is an example of how to view those stats (this would be a login protected page though, available to developers). https://addons-dev.allizom.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/statistics/downloads/sources/?last=30 The stats dashboard for Marketplace is under heavy development right now but I already see a page to view app installs by source. For one of my apps, the URL is https://marketplace-dev.allizom.org/app/private-yacht/statistics/sales/source/?last=30 I see a lot of source breakdowns actually: amount earned by source, units sold by source, and units refunded by source. -Kumar _______________________________________________ dev-webapps mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-webapps
