Using Web Analytics To Discover New Keywords. – 26. July, 2010

When I tell a new prospect that we will be installing web site analytic software on their web site they are completely mystified and amazed.  Turns out that most web design companies don’t bother to install the FREE Google Analytics tracking software or give clients access to web hosting stats, etc.  As a marketer, I can’t fathom NOT being able to track and monitor where all of my web site traffic is coming from, how long they are sticking around, what pages they visit more than the others, what the bounce rate is, and most importantly, what keywords folks are using to find my content on the web.

Our team of Internet marketers LIVES by analytics.  We find so many opportunities for our SEO clients by merely paying attention to what’s happening on their web site.  Google Analytics provides us with each keyword that was used to find the web site, so it may be a keyword or keyphrase that we or the client never thought of.  If we do find a keyword / keyphrase that we weren’t really focusing on and notice that it is pulling a nice amount of traffic, we will spend some time trying to elevate that keyword in the search engines.  We may write a blog article around the keyword or spend some more time on Social media around that keyword.  We will also jump into the web site itself and try and find opportunities to optimize for that particular keyphrase.

Reading Google Analytics : Average Time On Web Site – 25. March, 2009

Being technical geeks and analytical geeks, we digest a great deal of information on any given day from our client’s Google Analytics reports.  These reports give us a great deal of valuable information that we in turn use to help improve not only search engine rankings, but web site usability.

One of the many variables measured in Google Analytics is the web site visitor’s average time on the web site.  We pay attention to this because if people are only sticking around for 2 seconds there are clearly some issues with either the web site itself, or the marketing that drove that web site visitor to the web site in the first place.  For example, if a searcher types in Orlando Widget and lands on a web site that sells Mortgages, it does not compute to the visitor: they leave and continue their search.  On the other hand, if the visitor had typed in Orlando Mortgage and lands on your Orlando Mortgage web site AND your web site is UGLY and does not instill confidence, the average time on site will clearly suffer as your web site visitor has run for the hills.

Reading Your Web Stats: What Is A Hit? – 22. February, 2009

So many folks think that a hit is an actual ‘visit’ or unique visitor to their web site: they get all excited when they see that they have had 20,000 hits in month.  Here’s the reality: a hit is nothing more than a file that is downloaded or a file that is ‘hit’ when a unique visitor visits your web site.  Your web site may have 20 images that load, a few include files, a stylesheet, etc.  Each file that has to be opened in order to make your web site complete counts as a hit.

With that being said, a much more useful measurement is the unique visitor statistic.  This tells you how many unique individuals have visited your web site in a given time period.
