Monitor Your Web Traffic Using Free Online Statistics Software
Many webmasters and bloggers want traffic for their sites. The degree of desire for traffic varies from one webmaster to another. How much traffic a webmaster wants is another concept from how efficient can he monitor it using softwares available free online. Traffic statistics is important for any site in any niche especially if the site is being monetized. This site you are in right now is no exemption. I have also written in the past about the Importance of Mathematics to Blogging. Read it for more info on the topic.
For web traffic monitoring purposes, you can try using Sitemeter, Histats or Google Analytics. I like Histats better than Sitemeter and Google Analytics after having used these softwares. Histats is fast-loading and seldom did it interfere with any of my site’s loading time. I also find its features great. But whatever your preference is, it’s better to have one installed in your site than none at all. With a site statistics software (or widget), you’ll be able to:
- Know how many readers are presently in your site (online users)
- Know where your readers are coming from (search engines, website referrers and geolocation)
- Track the IP addresses of your readers which could be helpful in fighting spams
- Determine what pages your readers are reading/clicking
- Determine how long do readers stay in your site
- Know who’s on your site or who have been on your site
- Know what time you had the highest or lowest visitors
- Know what keywords are hot in your site

I am guilty of not checking my stats lately. I think it’s really important to know where most of our blog’s traffic came from. Pero na-delete ko yata ang Google Analytics ko kaya no-clue ako..hehe

Elaine,
You can use Histats or Sitemeter. Ok naman sila. They can be installed as a sidebar widget.
