The importance of web analytics
So you’ve started a website and now have an abundance of traffic coming in. That’s great! But where are these people coming from? How are they finding your site? And most importantly, how are they behaving when they’re on your site? This is where the importance of web analytics comes into play.
Web analytics is the study of how your site’s visitors behave. This includes the tracking of important statistics such as unique vistis, pageviews, bounce rates and conversion rates. For many small sites, the last two statistics are not as important, but for large sites or online businesses, the last two play a key roll in optimizing your site’s performance.
There are two main web analytics technologies: server logfile analysis and page tagging.
Server logfile analysis involves the reading of log files on a server in order to collect analytics data. During the early days of the Internet, server logfile analysis only tracked the number of requests made by a visitor to the web server. This was commonly know as a “hit” and was logical since many sites only consisted of a single HTML file at the time. As more elements were added to web pages (images, multiple pages, etc.), server logfile analysis became impractical, as it would count every server request on one page as a “hit”.
These complications led to the creation of new web analytic metrics: pageviews and visits. A pageview was defined as a request to the web server for a single page while a visit was defined as a series of requests from a single person that ended after a certain time frame. Eventually, cookies were used to track unique user sessions due to the evolution of proxy and dynamic IP technologies, which made the old “visit” statistic fairly useless.
Some of the most popular software programs for tracking web analytics use the server logfile analysis method. These include Webalizer, Urchin, WebTrends and the open-source AWStats.
Page tagging involves the placement of code on a page in order to track analytics data. The earliest form of page tagging was the website counter. These visible, numeric counters eventually evolved into invisible snippets of JavaScript. The small JavaScript code would be placed on a page and send data back to an analytics program or company for analysis. Just like the server logfile analysis method, page tagging also involves assigning cookies to each user in order to determine unique visitors.
One of the most popular page tagging analytics programs is Google Analytics. The service is free to anyone with a Google account and is the standard in web analytics for any person or company on a tight budget.
So why should you worry about web analytics? So you can increase the performance of your website of course!
Why do people leave your site? A “bounce” is when a visitor leaves your website after only viewing one page. Many analytics programs have a statistic called bounce rate, which measures the percentage of people that commit a “bounce”. This metric allows you to see which pages on your site are performing poorly and then make improvements or adjustments to that page. This statistic is extremely important for e-commerce sites or sites that would like a visitor to commit a certain action.
How much time do people spend on your site? This is known as session duration and is important to know because it allows you to see what pages on your site have content that is compelling your visitors to stay. It will also let you know what pages need additional content added in order for visitors to stay on them longer.
What are people doing on your site? If your site has actionable items for visitors, such as filling out a form, purchasing a product or subscribing to a newsletter, you can track these actions through conversion tracking. By putting a small piece of code on each of your completion or thank you pages, you will be able to see what percentage of visitors actually committed each action. This knowledge will allow you to further improve your landing pages and content in order to get a better response from your visitors and increase conversions.
There are many other, albeit less important, web analytics statistics that you can track. The ones above are some of the most important and you should be vigilant in monitoring them no matter what analytics software you use.
Web analytics are an important part of any website. They will give you quantitative insight into the actions of your visitors and let you know where you can improve and refine the content of your site. There are many analytics solutions out there, so there’s no reason not to be actively tracking and studying these extremely valuable metrics.
What is clustered hosting?
In a traditional web hosting environment, your site and its associated data will be located on one server in one location. This can cause problems if your server goes offline or the datacenter where your server is located burns down. So what’s the solution to this problem? Clustered hosting.
Clustered hosting offers a 100% uptime solution for sites that need it most. Instead of one server, your website depends on the resources of multiple servers. These servers are generally located in different physical areas. If one of them goes offline, the other servers in the cluster will pick up the load, assuring that your site stays online.
Clustered server hosting is also beneficial for extremely large, high traffic sites. Since multiple servers are handling the load balance, security and data resources, your site will run with greater efficiency than if it were on a single server.
This type of hosting is not for those on a budget. A clustered hosting solution is created specifically for a single site or network of sites and can be fairly expensive, depending on the amount of resources needed. Clustered hosting providers can give you a quote if you know what you need and will work with you in order to figure out the optimal solution at an affordable price if you’re not quite sure what kind of setup you’ll require.
If clustered hosting doesn’t sound like the right solution for you, look into dedicated server hosting or shared hosting.
Avoid free web hosting companies
The best things in life may be free, but great web hosting service is not one of them.
You may have seen free hosting companies in your search for a new hosting provider. Generally, the emphasis is placed on the price you will pay (nothing) rather than the account features you will receive.
Nearly all free web hosting providers will give you a limited amount of storage space and bandwidth. They will also prevent the upload and storage of certain file types, such as MP3 and MPEG. There is also no uptime guarantee with your site and you will not be able to use you own domain name as the URL.
So how do free hosting companies stay afloat? One word: advertising.
In exchange for your free hosting account, you will have advertisments placed on your site. These advertisments support your free hosting provider and give them a source of income. The advertising is not very targeted and can also be intrusive on the browsing experience (pop up and pop-under ads).
While free hosting may be great if you just want to write a small blog, it is not ideal (or even logical) to use a free
hosting account to run an online business or feature rich website. You can find many web hosting providers who have affordable prices without sacrificing performance or reliability.
