What
Are Usage Statistics?
Usage Statistics are very important to have. They
give you endless amounts of data that you can
use to shape the future of your own Web site.
With a few clicks of the mouse, you can find out
if your latest idea is working or what you might
need to do to get more visitors to your Web site.
Anybody who wants a successful Web site Online
needs usage statistics about their visitors.
Thankfully, there is more
than one way to skin a cat, and there is more
than one way to get your Web site's usage statistics.
The best statistics you
could get will probably come from your Web hosting
provider. Inside your control panel for your Web
hosting account, you should have several options
to choose from as far as usage statistics go.
Within my own (cPanel) I have: Webalizer
Web Stats, AwStats,
Analog
Stats and others. The most useful one
of the bunch is AwStats. It will give you a read
out of the number of visitors, what pages they
were looking at, at what time, how long did they
stay and anything else you might want to know.
In my opinion it really is the total package when
it comes to usage statistics.
If you Web hosting company's
provided control panel is different, you might
have a few different or other options to choose
from.
Another way of gaining
more information from your visitors is through
third party tracking services. The best and probably
the oldest known is Bravenet.
They will offer you many of the same stats you
saw mentioned above. All you need to do is paste
the counter code onto your Web site and away you
go! Easy, wasn't it? Bravenet is not your only
option though. There are a
plethora of other companies out there who
do the same. The hardest part of it, is just finding
the one that fits your needs the best.
