How To Monitor Your Website Traffic

How To Monitor Your Website Traffic

Are you currently tracking your traffic?
Is your traffic increasing each month?
Where are your visitors coming from?
What keywords are they using to find your website?

Without answering these questions you'll have no idea if your marketing strategies are working effectively. Traffic is the lifeblood of your online business. If you don't monitor and analyze your traffic you won't know what to change to make your online business successful.

Here are 2 Free Tools to Monitor Your Website Traffic

1.Awstats
2. Google Analytics

Let's look at Awstats...

The best way to use Awstats is to watch for trends each month. For example if most visitors are using Google Chrome to view your website make sure it displays correctly in that browser otherwise visitors will leave immediately.

Let's look at Google Analytics

This free tool offered by Google gives you even more comprehensive statistics than Awstats. To use it you just need to sign up for a Google Analytics account then copy and paste the code provided into each html page. It's even easier if your website is built on WordPress because you can install and activate a Google Analytics plugin.

The main stat categories include:

Audience
Advertising
Traffic Sources
Conversions

I won't bore you with the explanations for each category and sub category but will stress the importance of monitoring where most of your traffic is coming from ie organic or paid search, social (e.g. Facebook, Google+, Twitter) and the keywords used to find your website.

If your traffic is mainly coming from one source (ie Google) it would be worthwhile to diversify your marketing strategies so you don't have all your eggs in one basket. For example include social media to expand your audience.

Monitoring the keywords visitors are using to find your site will enable you to create new content based on these keywords. This will allow the search engines to find and rank the new content resulting in more visitors and sales.
