importance of tracking visitors
How important is it to track the visits to your website/blog?
I think its one of the most important things you need to do to have a successfull website or blog. Without tracking your visitors, you don’t know how many people actually see your site.
Why do you need to track your visitors:
- Know how many people view your website
- See where your visitors come from so that you can optimize your site for a more targeted area.
- Know on what and where your visitors click
- See how long your visitors stay on your site
- Promotion, you can show off how many visitors you have.
There are many websites you can use for tracking. The one that I use is a service called Clicky. It has everything you need. It has a basic display, witch is free and there is a more advanced option, that you can do a whole lot more with, that you have to pay for. I think its really worth it.
The other one is Google Analytics. This is another great service from Google. Its completely free, all you need is a Google account. This tracks your unique visitors, it gives you a nice map layout of where your visitors come from. A really great service.
There are many more reasons you should keep tracking on your website or blog. I helps you alot with your optimization. It gives you more than just a tracking option.
My very own Toolbar
I’ve created my own toolbar.
I came accross a website called conduit.com. There you can create and customize your toolbar. I think its quite a good idea. Now you can have your ver own google toolbar, or well, your website toolbar.
Here you can download and istall my toolbar: http://gitui.ourtoolbar.com/
Have a look at the toolbar, and tell me what you think.
My Philosophy on Links
Everyone is always going on about links, and how important links are for the success of a webiste. I agree with those people. I think links play a very important part in a website.
You get different “value” of links. A link within a blog post will be more valueble than a link on the side of the blog amongst other links.
Why?
People will much rather click on a link within something you are writing than go looking at all your links on your links page.
Some people sell links. Witch is in some way illegal. The more preferred way to do linking is by doing a link exchange. So if someone approaches you with a link exchange request, you add a link to them from your site, and visa versa. That is probably the most common links you get.
I think Links should be freely given. Not spammy. But given with love.
I really don’t mind if people post links to their site from mine. If I think its dodgy, then I will remove it. But if you, a fellow blogger or website owner want to tell the world about your site. I don’t mind.
I think that with that mindset you open yourself up to more exposure and links to your site. It goes back to the old saying. “What goes around, comes around.”
That in short, is my philosophy on links.
Do you differ in opinion?
