If you don’t have google analytics (or atleast SOME sort of tracking software on your site) you I HIGHLY reccomend you get it. It’s free and only takes a few minutes to install.
The detailed info it gives you on your websites traffic is amazing.
Here are just 2 examples from my trafiic this last month:
example 1:
[B]You can see it shows you 1)where your traffic came from, how many pages people went to per visit, average time on site, how many people went to your site more than once, etc…
Another cool thing it does:[/B]
[B]this shows you where your traffic is coming from. have you visited my site in the last month? if so you’ll probably see a dot on the map where you live =)
you can zoom out and see the world:[/B]
or zoom in and see your state
plus a TON of cool other stuff you can do, and it’s FREE!
And the point is not how much or how little traffic my site gets,
[B]the point is[/B], if you are not tracking [B]HOW[/B] people get to [B]your[/B] site, and [B]what the do once they get there[/B], you are missing out on valuable info to help you improve your site.
And google Analytics is am incredibly powerful and free tool for doing this.
just curious - do most people on WCR run & design their sites themselves, or pay a designer? i have a good friend who runs a pretty successful marketing company so he handles mine.
sort of a pain at times, cause to add this in i’ll have to get ahold of him, even though i’m pretty computer literate myself
