Monitoring

If you are going to take the time to put together a great web site you should also know if people are using it. You can do this by installing a counter on your web site.

You can acquire a counter for your web site that everyone can see that might look like this:

These counters are sometimes offered for free if you provide a link back to the web counter company.

A better option is for you to purchase an "invisible" web counter. These counters for website analytics are capable of providing only you information about the people who are visiting your website. This information can include the number of times visitors come to your site and a lot more. Website tracking services and software can tell you more about your visitors like their state, country, organization/domain, operating system, browser type, browser version, how long they visited your website, the name they searched to find you, the last web page they visited before coming to your site and a host of other statistics.

This will help you to better know who is coming to your site, why they are using it, and where they are coming from.
