Staring at Traffic
The following has been borrowed from a friends website :)
I once worked in a building where the offices were perched high enough so that you could sit at your desk and watch the traffic roll by on a busy highway a few hundred feet away. You could see the morning rush fade, a speeder get pulled over and a fender-bender set off afternoon gridlock during the course of a normal workday. It could serve as a nice distraction, but you never really learned anything staring out those windows.
Do you do the equivalent with your Web site traffic? You're a savvy webmaster so you avoided an amateurish counter on your site and went straight for some decent tracking software. You're getting some good data about your site - pageviews, unique visitors, referrers. So what? Are you staring or do you analyze?
Here are some tips to help you take action on facts that might reveal themselves after you stare at your traffic.
Some site I never heard of is linking to me
First, do your research. I've been fooled by the referrer report before. Occasionally, the last URL stored in a browser's address bar will pop up as a referring URL if the visitor has your site stored in their favorites or types the address directly. Visit the referring URL to confirm that they are in fact linking to you. And most importantly, make sure they are not just hotlinking your images.
Traffic seems to spike on a consistent day or time
Many major web sites report that their busiest time of day comes around noon. It's lunchtime and office workers take a minute to check their email, read headlines or find out if there are tickets left for tonight's game.
Seize your most popular time. Post your best offer, get your best content ready, and make sure something fresh is available. Besides that, does the time tell you anything about your visitors -- are they noontime office browsers, late night teens, weekend warriors?
There doesn't seem to be any growth
You've been looking at the numbers for months and while you're satisfied with the amount of traffic, there doesn't seem to be any growth. Now you've got a marketing problem, but you've got some data to work with. Who are your top referrers? Is there anything they might do to promote you more? Are there sites similar to theirs where you could get listed? Have any recent activities or changes generated spikes in traffic?
Maybe it's time to try an email newsletter or some advertising. Now that you're analyzing your traffic, you'll know if it works or not.
Have a Good Day
Greenguy and Jim
