In fact, it's hard to accurately track all of these items although technology today allows us to do so. In almost every data we gather today (including Google Analytics), it's not exactly the most accurate thing in the world. And according to Google's analytics evangelist, Avinash K., they still have a lot of improvements to make before it reaches the stage where tracking is absolutely accurate. But regarding your question to whether percentage of all online retailing accounts for more than 50% of all retail sales in Malaysia - I kinda doubt it'll happen anytime soon. Not in this 5 years, unless miracles occur. As again, I'm not too sure about the US. I'm sorry I couldn't get most of the answers you want - But I assure you that if you look hard enough on the Internet, you'll find small evidences here and there to support your studies or research. Hi John,
I’m not very familiar with US’s retail sales – Whether it comes from on or offline. In fact, it’s hard to accurately track all of these items although technology today allows us to do so.

And according to Google’s analytics evangelist, Avinash K., they still have a lot of improvements to make before it reaches the stage where tracking is absolutely accurate.

But regarding your question to whether percentage of all online retailing accounts for more than 50% of all retail sales in Malaysia – I kinda doubt it’ll happen anytime soon. Not in this 5 years, unless miracles occur. As again, I’m not too sure about the US.

I’m sorry I couldn’t get most of the answers you want – But I assure you that if you look hard enough on the Internet, you’ll find small evidences here and there to support your studies or research.

Overall, (year-to-year, month-to-month, or quarter-to-quarter) how does the percentage of online-retail sales compare to OVERALL retail sales for the same intervals? Is the percentage (%) of all online-retaling still in single digits? Is there a projected date for when online retail sales will account for 50 percent or more of all retail sales? (I suppose I am just asking about US Retail Sales.) Thank you. - John K jkane@umassd.edu Question:
