Website Traffic
It is really important to monitor your website’s traffic, not just for SEO purposes, but for gauging the effectiveness of your marketing and site promotion. You will want to know how many visitors your site has had, what keywords they may have used to find you, what pages they visited while there, how long they stayed, and also from which sites you have recieved the most traffic. In order to do any of these things, you must utilize some sort of website traffic monitoring service.
There are many websites that offer this type of service, and many of them do so for free. Be aware that “free” services also often come with bonuses, like spyware, pop-ups, and other annoyances. So be sure to investigate thoroughly before choosing your service provider. I use Google Analytics myself, due to its ease of use and the wealth of information it provides. So that is my recommendation to you as well. But the websites listed below come recommended from other business owners I know, and they are at least worth a look.
If you’re in need of a website hit counter, or a means to show to the world how many people are on your website at any given time, the sites listed below offer hit counters and counters that show the number of online users.
