Website Statistics:IntroductionWebsite Statistics involves a detailed report on the performance of a webpage or a website in terms of:
We allow our clients to monitor how much attention their website is attracting by providing login details to these website statistics. Hits Generated What is a hit? 1) Sometimes referred to as a page hit, This is the retrieval of any item, like a page or a graphic, from a Web server. If a vistior calls a Web sever with five graphics that is 6 hits, comprising of five for the graphics and one for the the page. (2) Any time a piece of data matches criteria you set. For example, each of the matches from a Yahoo or any other search engine search is called a hit. Number of Visitors The number of visitors is the number of people that click onto the site.The difference between a hit and a visit is as follows; Two homepages of seperate sites each comprise of the following. Site A has four files while Site B has two. Therefore, even though both have a visit each, Site A has more hits because it has more files. Hits are therefore not a good indicator of actual visiters to your site. Pages Visited This is the number of actual pages on a site visited. Therefore assuming all of the pages on a site were visited, the more pages on a site ,then the more visits recorded. Web Robots Visiting When a domain is registered, say for example with google, a google robot goes through the site and extracts the relevent Search Engine Optimisation phrase or links which it will use on the google search page. For eg, in the case of a bed store you may have a phrase like this on the google search, beds, comfortable, elegent, antique, cork, dublin., etc............... Bandwidth Used Each file on a site is of a certain size. Generally the smaller the better providing that they still acheive the desired effect. If too many files are being downloaded it interferes with usability of the site and slows things down which can impact how well the site is operated by those who visit. Search Engine Referrals (1) Visitors who arrive at a website after clicking a link on a search engine results page. (2) This is the number of times users performed searches in the search engines, found your site in the results and clicked through. | ||||||
