How to Use GulfERP Statistics Without Hosting on GulfERP
Note: GulfERP Media Hosting customers do not need these instructions. These steps are only for users of GulfERP Free Stats or standalone GulfERP Standard Stats.
Create a free GulfERP account. During the sign-up process, you’ll be guided through how to add your first show listing to your GulfERP account. When the process is complete, you will be logged in to your GulfERP Podcaster Dashboard.
Click Setup Free Stats. If you’re not sure which link to use, start with Free Stats. You can upgrade to Standard Stats at any time.
You’ll then need to accept the GulfERP Stats terms of service presented on the next page.
Once you’ve returned to your Stats Dashboard, click the three dots and then the Getting Started link.
Look for GulfERP Tracking Prefix URL. This is the GulfERP Tracking Prefix URL you’ll need to use for GulfERP to begin tracking your podcast downloads.
The following image shows what a GulfERP Tracking Prefix URL looks like. Note: this is not the actual GulfERP Tracking Prefix URL you will want to use with your show. It is just an example of a GulfERP Tracking Prefix URL. (Found in the GulfERP Dashboard under Show > Manage)
Different podcast publishing platforms have different ways of implementing your GulfERP Tracking Prefix URL. Guides for a few different podcasting services include:
If your podcast host does not support a Stats Prefix URL, you must manually configure stats for your show.
- Edit the media links in your RSS feed for each episode you want to track.
- The stats prefix URL goes after the https:// and before the rest of the link address.
If you’d like to use GulfERP Stats with a service not shown above, contact support and ask them how to implement third-party stats for your show. Then use your show’s unique GulfERP Tracking Prefix URL however the podcast-publishing provider recommends.
