Recommending High Traffic or Most Popular Product

[DhanA2]

Hi Team,

I have a scenarion, I have to recommend a product to the user based on Polularity nothing but High traffic product.
I have to setup crtieria inclusion to filter down the product that only have more 1k views.

Since i do not have any traffic data in catalog or parameter i assume I have to get the product traffic details through Analytics Feed classification option.

Is this correct if yes how can we share that traffic data about a product as parameter into target.
If not what could be the best way to do this.

Dear @DhanA2 ,

There is an operator "Is Greater Than or Equal To", but to use the same, we would need the traffic details.

Classification Feed from Analytics can give you the METADATA details for the product but not traffic. 

So, not sure whether we do have a straightforward option for this. If there is a hack, let me think through it and revert. Will also wait for the others to see their input.

The possible hack I can think of is to create a Profile Script to count the number of times the Product is viewed and use it in Recommendations.

However, there are a few gotchas.

- If you implement the profile script today, the count will be initiated only by today, and thus data history is a tougher ask.

- Above script will not break down the numbers by time (Day, Week, Month, etc). So, if you need the traffic by time, you need to create different profile scripts based on day, week, month, etc.

A feasible use case is to count the views by month and I guess we can do the same in Profile Script. Cheers!
