Stat Counter Review – Tracking Your Business Statistics The Easy Way

Posted 11-06-2009 at 10:23 AM by michaelcloke

To start with Stat Counter is free yet it is still an amazingly reliable piece of software that will give you invaluable information so that you can check the visitors to your website.
It is invisible so nobody can see that it is installed on your website and it gives a real time analysis of what is going on.
You simply place a small piece of code on your web page or blog and that is all you have to do. All of the traffic coming to your website is analysed in real time.
A question I am often asked is why is all of this so important.
You really need to know so much about the traffic to your website so you know where you have to make improvements which will in turn increase your traffic
Using stat counter is one of the very best ways to do this and the information you will receive from this tiny bit of code can really tell you so very much.
Some of the information you can find out from your stat counter are as follows.
The screen resolution - This will inform you as to how most of the visitors to your site view the webpage. For instance if your design is worked around a resolution of 800 x 600 and you see that many of your visitors are using a larger resolution they will not be getting a perfect view so it may be worth considering changing it.
Keywords -It is always good to know which keywords or phrases were used by the visitors to arrive at your site for the simple reason that you can optimise your website for more of the same.
Length of Time spent on visit - If you can see that visitors are arriving at certain pages and not staying long it is always worth investigating. It may be that the content on that particular page is not interesting enough or it may be that the page is not loading quickly enough. Whatever the reason you can usually find that it can be checked quickly and soon rectified.
Enter/Exit - If the stats tell you that your visitors are leaving your website on the same page that they are arriving at it could be that the internal linking is not working or perhaps they just don't like what they see. Again this can be easily rectified.
The list really does go on and on and the information is important because ultimately it can lead to you making more money.
You may be asking yourself why, if stat counter is so good, why is it free, and is it really free. are there any hidden extras or an upgrade or anything like that.
Well you will be pleased to know that stat counter is truly free but the originators do make some money in a rather clever way.
When you log into your account to view your stats there are small banner adds or adsense adds which if you click on, the owners of the site make a small amount of money.
There are no adverts on your website so your visitors don't see them, you are happy and the owners of Stat Counter are happy.
