I am interested in learning how users are finding my models. For instances, are they discovering it from search, a related model, suggested models, etc. I would like to expand what types of models I have as I have created a bit of a niche but I don’t know exactly how users are finding my models in the first place, so I don’t exactly know what everyone is using them for. I have had steady traffic for a long time, so the must be coming from somewhere. This would really help me with what tags I add to my prints as well.

You can go to Your Profile > Creator Center and you’ll have a high level view of what you’re looking for. It’s not like YouTube, where you’d see the 3rd party traffic broken down by Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, etc. or which top 10 models are your best referral models; but it’s a lot better than having nothing.
It starts you out with “all models” when you open it, but you can pick individual model to look at in more detail. The top right has a dropdown to pick the date range, you can (un)hide individual statistics, and change the granularity from day to week, month, or year.
This is the model I’m looking at above: Gilded torchère, champlevé enamel, Belle Époque style by Bjoern 3D MakerWorld: Download Free 3D Models
It would appear that it only really started getting views on Friday even though I’ve submitted it into the Torch Design Contest on the first day (probably too late in the day though.) Maybe people simply had more time over the weekend. Which I’ll know if views go back down again over the next few days and then pick up again on Friday.
Either way, I certainly know that 81.53% of traffic comes from Browsing, so that is most likely contest related. And, with the funnel on the right you can see how your views convert into downloads and prints. That’s a good start in terms of data and now I can go over to the contest page and see where the model ranks in terms of Trending, Downloads, and Likes; where I’ll see that out of 151 models this one ranks #21 for downloads as of right now.
Make sure to avoid tunnel vision though; numbers can’t tell you everything… and since the Browse information is not granular enough, I don’t know if that means people went to the contest page and scrolled until they found my model or if they went there simply from the WakerWorld landing page.
…at this point you then try and figure out if your cover image is working or not. Was the bright white flame a good choice rather than a red flame like the model in the top right uses. What about image compositional rules, etc.
I’m not trying to go off on a tangent here, but having the numbers is only one piece to the puzzle is the point I’m trying to make. Anyway, hope this helps… and you know where to find this information now. Maybe MakerWorld could also add a little “Go to Creator Center” button to the model page, so that you can easily get there from there as well.
You haven’t marked this as a feature request.
Bambu Lab staff do nit read the entire forum, if you wish any chance the may see this, you need to add the optional request tag to your categories.
Use the pencil near the topic title, select the second category box and locate the related “request” entry, select and save.
Actually this is pretty much what I was looking for. I am aware of the creator center but I was unaware of this section. Thank you very much for the detail answer!
I don’t see a requests section for Makerworld. Only for Bambulab, which was why I didn’t put it they in the first place
