Website Traffic Tracking: Know Your Visitor Behavior

Contact Aldebaran Website Design Seattle

Did You Know:
"Bounce Rate" is one of the most important website traffic tracking metrics. Bounce rate can indicate the quality of your website visitors traffic.

Bounce rate is defined as the percentage of website visitors who come into a single page and leave your website, without visiting additional pages.

A high bounce rate indicates that website visitors generally didn't find your web page interesting. This could be due to your website, or due to a characteristic of your website visitors.

Tracking your website traffic and measuring "bounce rate" helps you improve your website pages, and make decisions about optimizing the sources of your website traffic.

Website Traffic Tracking Aldebaran Website Design Seattle

I often ask clients if they track their website visitor traffic, and they sometimes say "yes", their website hosting company collects data. But when I ask how often they actually review their website traffic data, few if any have ever looked at it. This is why I recommend using a ultra user-friendly tool like Web-Stat to make website tracking traffic easy, and actually fun!

If you're subscribed to a Pay-Per-Click campaign or paying for a directory listing, it is really important that you have a way to measure your return on these investments - this is only possible with an independent website traffic tracking tool!

If you have an online store or shopping cart - you can track how many people add products to your cart and how many of them complete the checkout process, enabling you to calculate your shopping cart abandonment rate - a very important metric.

Websites do occasionally go down - Web-Stat automatically checks your website every 15 minutes and will send you an email if it can't connect to it...what more could you ask for?


How much does this website traffic tracking tool cost?

I recommend the premium website tracking package, which costs only $9.95 per month. Web-Stat even has a free 30 day trial period. Click on the Web-Stat image below to sign up for an account:

I can usually install Web-Stat on a client's website that I've designed in 30 minutes. On websites that I haven't designed, the installation and testing will take approximately an hour or more, depending on how many pages the website contains.

Did You Know
"Shopping Cart Abandonment Rate" is one of the most important website traffic tracking metrics for online store owners.

Shopping Cart Abandonment Rate indicates the quality of your shopping cart process.

Shopping Cart Abandonment Rate is calculated by dividing the number of customers who finish your shopping cart process by the total number of customers who start the process.

Tracking your online store's shopping cart abandonment rate helps you improve your shopping cart process, converting more shoppers to paying customers.
