Commerce Starter Kit - Referral Provider for Tracking Online Store Referrals

A week ago I built an Inventory Provider for the ASP.NET 2.0 and PayPal Commerce Starter Kit.  This provided the basis for more sophisticated inventory management needs for your online store.

Another features not included in the original design of the Commerce Starter Kit is a simple Referral Provider that tracks referrals to your online store.  As an online retailer you often want to know how people are finding your online store.  Is someone linking to your store or are they finding you via the search engines?  By tracking your online referrals you are able to answer these questions as well as make better decisions on how to market your online store.

Referrals are tracked using an HttpModule, ReferralManager Business Class, and an SqlReferralProvider that stores referrals in a Sql Server Database.  Source code is available for download and SQL Scripts are provided to create the necessary tables and stored procedures.

Learn more about the Referral Provider in the following article:
