For Photographers : Site Tracking

11-17-07

Just wanted to make a post for my fellow photographers out there who are checking the blog. My friend Patrick Daly introduced me to the website Reinvigorate.net that allows you to track the visitors who come to your site. Now there are plenty of trackers out there but this one has really impressed me. Here are just some of the features:

1) Real Time Visitor Stats

2) New/Returning Visitor Charts

3)Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly Traffic Tracking

4) Visitor Details (Browser, Operating System, Browser)

5) Session Activity (What pages they were viewing)

6) Referrer Information (How people found your site)

Basically you can find out any information you would like besides the personal information of a visitor. Why is this information useful? No, not to be a stalker. But it can help you improve your site and it can let you know what people find useful and what type of people are finding your site. You could even find out what keywords people are typing inside search engines to find your blog. That alone could help you jump up in search engines if you know what type of words people are looking for when trying to find information.

It is a great website and worth checking out. It is in beta trial right now so you have to sign up and see if they will allow you to create an account. They even have software you can download for your Windows or Mac that will really allow you to track visitors in real time. The second some visit your site you will know! Now if you want to go that extreme, well the option is there. Hope you found this helpful!

    I’ve been looking for a tracking software and this looks like it might be user friendly. Thanks for sharing this info..going to see if they will let me create an account.
    Now if I could just figure out how to add a “subscribe to my blog” link I would be all set :)
