In order to succeed on the net you also have to track
your website statistics so you can be aware of what's working and what
isn't. Some of the things you need to be aware of is:
- Which
search engines bring your site the most visitors.
- What
keywords visitors are using in the search engines to find your site.
- Which
linking partners and ads are bringing you the most traffic.
- How
long your visitors are staying on your site and on individual pages.
- Which
pages your visitors are most interested in.
- Where
visitors are entering -- and exiting -- your site.
This information will help you sharpen your marketing
tactics so you can do more of what's working and less of what's not. There
are several ways of tracking your stats but I would recommend using a
company that specializes in it.
In order to
measure
your stats the company will provide you with a string
of HTML code to paste onto each of your
website pages. The company
will track the visitor
that come through your site and will
provide you access to their web site
where you can check your results.
Some of the stats
you will follow include:
- Number of unique
visitors
- Number of page views
- The search engine
visitors used to find your site
- The keywords used in
the search engines to find your site
- Which affiliates or
other linked sites sent traffic to your site
- Number of visitors
during specific hours and specific days
- Repeat visitors
- The browsers that
your visitors use and the version
- The visitors
operating system and screen resolution
One of the best
companies to use for tracking stats is a company called Webstat and below
are some of the features of their system:
