How to Double Your Marketing Impact? Use Data4 to Connect Traffic Sources & User Behavior

Author: Emma

Running ads but seeing poor conversions? The issue might be your analysis. This article teaches you to use Data4 for cross-analysis, uncovering the vital link between where your visitors come from and what they do, ensuring every marketing dollar counts.

As an independent store owner, do you often face these questions:

  • A channel brings lots of traffic, but no conversions?
  • You're spending money, but don't know which channel truly delivers value?

The solution isn't more data, but connecting the dots. Data4's multiple dimensions let you easily perform "Source + Page" analysis to find answers fast.

Scenario 1: Evaluate the "Quality" & "Quantity" of Traffic Channels

Volume alone is not enough.

  1. Identify Core Channels: In Data4's [Overview], check the [Engine Source] dimension. You'll see traffic from google.com, baidu.com, facebook.com, etc.
  2. Judge Channel Quality: Here's the key step! Don't just look at "Visitors"; focus on the "Average Visit Duration" and "Bounce Rate" next to the "Percentage".
    • High-Quality Channel: Solid visitor numbers, with long "Average Visit Duration" and low "Bounce Rate". This means users are engaged.
    • Problem Channel: Even with high traffic, if the "Bounce Rate" is very high and "Average Visit Duration"  is very short, the user intent doesn't match your site—you might be wasting budget.

💡 Practical Insight:
If you find traffic from baidu.com has a high bounce rate (>80%), while traffic from google.com has a much lower one (~40%), the conclusion is clear: focus more on optimizing Google Ads or SEO.

 

Scenario 2: Pinpoint Optimization Pages to Enhance User Experience

Once you know channel quality, optimize the post-click experience.

  1. Find User "Entry Points" & "Interests": Check [Popular Pages] and [Entry Pages].
    • If /zh/ (homepage) is your main entry page but users leave quickly, you need to ask: is the "first screen" compelling enough?
  2. Analyze with Sources: Connect pages with sources.
    • If many users from a Facebook ad land on /zh/download/ but don't download, then that landing page's design, copy, or process needs work.

💡 Practical Insight:
Your [UTM Sources] report shows a KOL campaign brought many visitors. Check [Popular Pages] to see which product pages these visitors viewed, accurately measuring that KOL's impact and guiding future collaborations.

 

Conclusion: From "Looking" to "Using" Data

Data analysis isn't about numbers; it's about connecting clues to guide action. With Data4, you can:

  1. Evaluate channel value and stop paying for ineffective traffic.
  2. Locate problem pages and optimize user experience with precision.
  3. Verify marketing campaigns, making the result of every promotion clear.
