Category Archives: Understanding & Using Statistics
We all know a good understanding of analytics is an important ingredient in website success. But if you’re short on time, it can help to zero in on a few key items.
So you’ve signed up to Google Analytics, or started using a similar service to find out how your website is performing. The only problem is, the information on your screen might as well be written in another language. If this sounds familiar, have a look through our list of common web analytics terms for a plan-English explanation.
Free Website Stats from WooRank
If you’re an agent running your own website, the prospect of a detailed picture of how it’s performing will probably sound quite enticing. That’s exactly what the newly-established service WooRank is offering, and at the moment all its reports are free.
A WooRank report shows you three traffic estimates, gives a run-down of your in-site and off-site SEO, and measures your website’s usability. Areas that need work are clearly marked with an orange dot, or a red dot if things are really dicey.
Lower that Bounce Rate
If you run your own website but haven’t heard the term “bounce rate”, have a seat. You might be satisfied with the number of people visiting your website, but if the majority of those visitors leave within a few seconds without interacting with any of your content, that’s something you need to deal with.
