Increasing traffic to a weblog is heaps around being able to read and understand your statistics. So, how do you do it? Recording Your Blog Traffic Statistics First of all you need some way of recording and reporting back to you your visitors statistics. But, the problem is, that a few of the time you will doubt the figures. That unexpected day when you have received no traffic, or a huge visitors 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 might be overwhelmed with information, they record so much. But you get ample of detail and it is stored a long time. I partner this with WP-Stats. A easy plugin to install and activate, you merely need the API key. This provides real time monitoring of your visitors showing the information that you need on a daily basis on a single report page. Works a treat! Traffic And Hits Now that you have your statistics, you might start monitoring traffic and hits along with search engine keyword terms and visited pages. There is a big difference between page hits and visitors. Ideally, both are high, but 1 reader can 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 numerous 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 visitors as this represents the new people visiting your web site. Well Read Post Pages Have a look at the pages that are usually read. Are they being found through searches or are traffic finding them by browsing the web site? If a few posts are very well read, make sure that the navigation of every page makes these straightforward to find. This way, not just will visitors be more likely to see the popular material, these posts will also be highlighted to the search engines, who might 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. Can you write new, better posts that are directly related to these terms? Might you do some building links on these terms to be sure that your website is performing well on all search engines, not just on those sending your traffic? By taking a few time to look through and understand your traffic statistics you might be gently remodelling your web site so that you are increasing the number of new visitors 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 weblog’s popularity will go sky high.
