How Can I Track the Number of Hits My Website Gets?

|

All websites that are hosted come with a statistic package to analyze the web traffic. The reason for this is for you to know how many visitors are coming or viewing your web site, how much bandwidth you are using, what visitors are looking and why they ended up on your website, what page of your site is the most popular, and which one is the least viewed. The only information you can get is the email address and where they are located. In some cases, if it is really that important, you can get some ideas if you are willing to put a lot of effort and spend money on expensive software.

            There are 2(two) ways of tracking your site, it can either be done by server-side or remotely. In server-side, log files are use to generate visitor information. This is much more accurate than remotely hosted solutions. In such cases, you generally have to add a javascript to your web site. For this, javascript is used to track the visitors information.

             There are 3 different ways to access your stats. For the beginners, all you have to do is to login in SiteSteward.com and go to the domain detail page for the domain stats you want to check. If you don't have an account on SiteSteward.com, you are missing out on a great tool. Another way is to go to your Server Control Panel, there is a button there labeled with "Reports". This will give you all the information regarding your website. Keep in mind that when you are in there, you can cause some major damages if you don't know what you are doing. If you want to be safe, better use SiteSteward.com then. And If accidents happened and you completely wipe out your site, you will be spending a considerable length of time to get your site back up and running. The last and final way is to simply ask for the link to your web stats.
