Increasing traffic to a weblog is a load around being able to read and understand your statistics. So, how do you do it? Recording Your Site Visitors Statistics First of all you need some way of recording and reporting back to you your visitors statistics. But, the problem is, that several of the time you will doubt the figures. That unexpected day when you have received no visitors, or a huge traffic blip. Are they for real, or are they errors in the reports? For this reason it is good to use two visitors packages together. And the pairing I use and recommend start with Google’s Analytics. Sign up for a Google Account then to Analytics and install their code. The problem is that you could be overwhelmed with information, they record so much. But you get masses of detail and it is stored a long time. I partner this with WP-Stats. A simple plugin to install and activate, you just need the API key. This provides real time monitoring of your traffic showing the information that you need on a daily basis on a single report page. Works a treat! Visitors And Hits Now that you have your statistics, you could start monitoring visitors and hits along with search engine keyword terms and visited pages. There is a big difference between page hits and traffic. Ideally, both are high, but 1 reader might look at some pages and create a few page hits in a visit, day or a longer time period. Ideally you want your traffic looking at loads of pages as it shows that your content is interesting and you are building up regular readers. So, a high ratio of page views to traffic is ideal. But you also want a good number of daily unique traffic as this represents the new people visiting your web site. Well Read Post Pages Have a look at the pages that are frequently read. Are they being found through searches or are traffic finding them by browsing the site? If several posts are very well read, make sure that that the navigation of every page makes these straightforward to find. This way, not only will visitors be more budding to see the popular material, these posts will also be highlighted to the search engines, who may then rank them better. Review Keyword Terms Lastly for now, look through the search engine keyword terms to see what terms are sending you visitors. Could you write new, better posts that are directly related to these terms? Can you do several building links on these terms to ensure that that your website is performing well on all search engines, not only on those sending your visitors? By taking a few time to look through and understand your visitors statistics you can be gently remodelling your site so that you are increasing the number of new traffic that arrive each day and increasing the number of pages that they are each reading. With a little bit of time and effort, your visitors statistics will increase and your website’s popularity will go sky high.
