Website Traffic Analysis - Key to Success
Written by Jai on June 25, 2008 – 11:03 am - 2,900 views
Its very important to analyze the traffic that comes to your website because it can really make or break your website. But before you can make full use of this traffic analysis, you must understand how to interpret this data.
Hosting companies will usually provide you with basic web traffic information that you will have to interpret and make pertinent use of. However, the data you receive from your hosting companies can be overwhelming if you don’t understand how to apply it to your particular business and website. Let’s start by examining the most basic data - the average visitors to your site on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
These figures are the most accurate measure of your website’s activity. It would appear on the surface that the more traffic you see recorded, the better you can assume your website is doing, but this is mostly an inaccurate perception. You must also look at the behavior of your website visitors to accurately gauge the effectiveness of your site.

Written by Jai on December 12, 2007 – 3:51 pm - 2,914 viewsWe all love our blogs, nurturing it day in day out with unique, beautifully structured content only to discover that unfortunately that isn’t enough. What good is a blog if no one visits it, right? Today I have a little something that will get you hopping with joy, and traffic. Yes, I am talking about none other than Twitter.
Twitter is a cool community driven social networking site that provides an amazing tool for friends family and even strangers to keep in touch with each other while on the go. Unlike most normal social networks, Twitter doesn’t require the use of a computer seeing as updates can be sent using a normal mobile phone. You might be asking yourself how is this going to help your blog, read on and I’ll answer that question.
The system is really simple. A user creates an account on twitter which can be accessed by anyone from around the world. Individuals then write short messages, known as twits, which may contain a maximum of 140 characters, the same as in a standard text message. Twits can be on any topic desired and can include links to sites, other members or anything you find interesting. Can you start to see the potentials here?
