Visitor Statistics

A Website is more than nice graphics and well-written content. At least, it should be... a good Website looks nice and is easy to navigate through. But do you know what makes a great Website?

Think back on the Websites you've visited recently, and remember what made them good or bad to you. Were there any that impressed you as being easy to use or having exactly what you needed at your fingertips? There's your answer... a great Website is one that answers the needs of the visitor.

Now, another vital question: How do you know what your visitors need? The answer is both simple and complex: You learn their behavior and find out their real needs, not their supposed or assumed needs.

In other words,

• Watch how they get to your Website, the pages they view, learn the pages they actually read, and see where they leave your site.
  
  
• Know what computer browsers they view your site in, and know how your site looks in those browsers.
  
  
• Find the operating systems used and adjust your site to work optimally with them.
  
  
• Track the ads and links used to get to your site and learn if your visitors come for a bargain, a necessity or by "accident."
  
  
• Monitor repeat behavior and visits.
  
  
• Learn everything you can about your visitors, and make your site a pleasure for them to visit.

If you're asking, "how do I do all that?" then you haven't heard much about Web analytics yet. But you will! You have to, in order to turn your nice site into a memorable and great site. You need to get a Web analytics solution that gives you rich visitor statistics, preferably in real-time for real-time Web tracking, so your information is accurate and up to the minute. Such data literally puts your digital fingers on the life pulse of your site and its visitors.

With good, easy to read visitor statistics reports, you can easily watch trends, patterns and behavior of your visitors and learn what changes to make to your Website in order to enhance their experience, and improve your traffic at the same time.
