FAQ
What exactly are monitus.net tools?

Starting with the Web Analytics connector for Google Analytics and Yahoo! Stores, we are introducing new tools and services for Yahoo! Store merchants. Requiring only a small piece of Javascript code to be installed on your site, we will keep adding new functionality over the next few few weeks and months.

We believe that there are not enough useful applications specifically developed for the Yahoo! Store platform. We aim to change this by developing tools that meet the following criteria:

  • Real ROI-based tools: you should make more money as a result of using them.
  • A low monthly cost to you and no other charges.
  • Easy on - easy off: leave at any time, no contracts to sign.
  • Easy to use and easy to install: we'll install our tools for free if you wish.
  • Only one codebase to maintain: we improve our tools or add new ones and you will get the benefit immediately.
 
Does the service work with all Yahoo! Stores?

Whether you use standard templates, custom RTML templates or Web Hosting with Store Tags, you can use our service.

However, we do require that you use the new checkout manager. 

 
Is it easy to install?

In most cases, installing our code takes only a few minutes and is very easy to do. Instructions are here .

If you are a busy merchant you can also let us do the installation for you at no charge! 

 
What are the requirements?

Our service works only with the new checkout manager. Yahoo! has announced that all merchants will be migrated over to the checkout manager in the future, and that all new signups as from April 2006 will get the checkout manager by default.

If you wish to use the Google Analytics connector for Yahoo! Store, You will also need a free Google Analytics account, which you can get here. You should be able to get your email invitation code within a couple of weeks, or almost immediately if you are an active Adwords customer.

 
What sort of support do you offer?

We can’t support Google Analytics itself but we are on the lookout for tips and tricks to make Google Analytics work better for merchants. The Yahoo! Store connector runs behind the scenes and does not require any settings, except of course to be installed properly. If you suspect that tracking does not work properly, please visit the help forums to see if your question has already been answered. Otherwise contact us via email.
