Tracking Your Domain's Traffic

Why Tracking Traffic Is Your Most Important Marketing Activity for your Domain Name

Tracking your domain's traffic regularly and accurately is your most important online marketing activity. This should not really surprise anybody because without properly tracking your traffic online, you do not have a hope in hell of being successful online.

Each site or online business has its' unique market with unique requirements and to beat the competition, an online business has to constantly generate new ideas and try out all sorts of techniques and tools. How is one able to do this without a proper tracking tool?

There are various options one can consider, many of them can be pretty much low cost. However for a site starting out, the best option will be to go for a free but effective option for keeping track of where your visitors are coming from and what is attracted them most about your site.

I have tested various tools but I've found that www.statcounter.com is the most effective and the easiest to use. Especially when you have quite a number of blogs or sites to keep track of like I do. What I find most useful about it is the fact that at  glance I can quickly see the total traffic that all my sites received in the last two days, all displayed on a single page which can be viewed without having to click your way to another page. All you need to do when you require more information about a certain aspect is to click on the relevant stat you would like more information on.

You can always upgrade to paid membership later when you outgrow the available resources and information at this site.

To access this traffic tracking tool, you will need to register at the site. You just need to follow the simple step by step instructions as you go through the registration that will lead you up to the final point where you have to paste some code at your site. By following these steps, the traffic to your domain will be easily monitored.

As far as traffic-tracking tools go, I have found this particular one, second to none.
