Do you track the traffic?

15 years ago

Hi Lakshay,

You can do this with google analytics for free.

It's easy to sign up with a simple line of code to install on your page and then you can get all kinds of detailed stats on where your traffic is coming from, how long they have stayed, how many page views and if they are a unique or repeat visitor.

That will do all of what you want.

Thanks

I use Proanalyzer for lot of my tracking, recommended by John Reese in TS1. Solid script with lots of info.

Here's an example of the type of info it gives you for each link (traffic source), I've only just set this up and haven't setup all the variable so things like ROI are 0% -- but if you set it all up you get all those stats.

Traffic Statistics

Raw Clicks: 13 Unique Clicks: 13 Cost Per Raw: $0.00 Cost Per Unique: $0.00 Gross Profit Per Raw: $0.00 Net Profit Per Raw: $0.00 Gross Profit Per Unique: $0.00 Net Profit Per Unique: $0.00

Action Statistics

Actions Taken: 1 Cost Per Action: $0.00 Conversion Ratio: 7.7%

Sale Statistics

Sales Generated : 0 Cost Per Sale: $0.00
Gross Profit Per Sale: $0.00 Net Profit Per Sale: $0.00

Split Run Profits:

Totals

Current Cost (One Time): $0 Total Amount Invested: $0.00 Total Gross Profit: $0.00 Total Net Profit: $0.00 Conversion Ratio: 0.0% ROI: 0.0%
I'm pretty sure you can use Google Analytics to do similar stuff, I just don't like it very much.

Thanks

Thanks Doug!

But GA is not detailed enough... I am looking for the father of GA.... Something much more detailed than that.

As I have said, I want to track where exactly the traffic is coming from. I plan to do that by sending traffic from a particular article to a particular link and so on...

I need something that can categorize traffic sources, and then give a detailed breakdown.

Something like this...

Todays' traffic...

1. Articles:

Article 1... 100
Article 2... 87
Arrticle 3... 22
Article 4 ... 29
Article 5...0

2. Videos

V1...20
v2...34
v3...65
v4...0
v5...2

And so on and also lets me detailed reports for a specified period of time like 01 / 06/ 1989 to 02/03/1999 and so on.

And It helps if it could be sorted into increasing/decreasing order so I can know which articles sent me most traffic today, this week, this month and overall.

I also want to know how many sales I am getting from 100 visitors that article 1 sent and so on.

Please guide me appropriately.

-Lakshay

Thanks

I was just checking it out... Looks good.

Then I happened to come across somebody who said on their blog that Proanalyzer does not have a good cusomer support system.

Is that true Kyle?

I've never had to use their customer support, last time I looked part of their site was broken which is never a good sign.

But the script itself has worked fine for me.

OK... Is the installation difficult?

Does it require doing some scripting/programming etc???

It's been a while, from memory it was pretty simple... copy some files, change a setting or two. I don't remember having any major issues.

Looks cool too.

Yeah, you can do the same with Google analytics.

It lets you set up your goals and then track the stats when

the visitors make the purchase and come to the download page or

take the action and come to the next page, whatever you want so you can track both opt ins

and sales with conversion stats for each.

If what John and Kyle are using let you set it up on how many you want,

then it looks like they're very similar.

I haven't used proanalyzer, but I've used google analytics and it does that.

Thanks

Lakshay,

I'm looking for a few beta testers for my new tracking tool. If you can put it to use right away and give me feedback, I'd be happy to set up up with an account.

With my tool, you will be able to track specific clicks from the ads and videos you mentioned, and to know how many opt-ins and/or sales you got from each link (plus a lot more).

Thanks

Ever notice that people who spend money on WSO, memberships and courses, are always complaining about being broke and not making any money ?

Looks like Lakshay has tried GA and found it lacking. Same experience I have had. You get tons of stats, just not the ones you are looking for when it comes to tracking sales systems.

Exactly buddy... I am going to come out with a new series of products this coming week and the next one and I really want something solid.

On a bright note, looks like your system does something that I want... I would like to have a look at yours as well...

I know many people have suggested Google Analytics. But you may want to look at some of these alternatives. First one is pretty good and is related to the Open X Ad Server project. The second one is much more enterprise feature focused and would be ideal if you had many sites to manage and wanted to create reports or data for Non Technical people to review etc.

Piwik - Web analytics - Open source It gives interesting reports on your website visitors, your popular pages, the search engines keywords they used, the language they speak. It has an online demo and also has come pretty cool plugins you can add. It is free to use and pretty easy to setup.

Breadboard BI, Inc.- Clickstream For those of you that have to manage many sites or want to get hardcore you should definitely check this out.

It has a Open Source version and a Pro version. I suspect that most folks would need Pro for keywords etc. I would start Piwik and go from there.

Using Clickstream Pro, you can quickly answer questions like:
Who are your visitors?
From where do they originate?
How are they finding your site?
Which keywords attract vistors?
Are your paid clicks worthwhile?
To what extent are you experiencing clickfraud?
Which organic keywords should you add to your campaigns?
Which pages are popular?
Which pages are likely to cause an exit?
How do visitors navigate your site?

You may want to look at some client tools that I like to use the two vendors you may want to check out is http://www.exacttrend.com/ The Weblog Suite and the other is Surf Stats http://www.surfstats.com/default.asp .

I have my Websites FTP the log files from each of my servers to my home ftp server and then I access the log files locally and I am able to work with data over a long period of time. I am able to save it and print it and the client tools work much faster when working with large data sets versus waiting for browser to refresh etc.

Nice list of Google Analytic Alternative!

But to Google Analytic doesn't seems to track each individual traffic from directory...

I use Dynatracker, and it work very well in reporting how many traffic being send with my articles! I can track each article's per title and even per site!

I'm surprised that I do not ever see WebCEO mentioned during a discussion of web analytics. They have, in my opinion, an incredible tool with tons of traffic stats, but also a comprehensive seo management aspect as well. Best of all, its either free, or very low cost. check it out at SEO Software by Web CEO :: Search Engine Optimization Software / Complete SEO Toolkit :: Website Optimization, Promotion and Submission SEO Software
