Website Tracking
A question from a client:
remind me how to initiate tracking features, please. it’s a site i’ve seen feed or fire something but i didn’t get it when i first visited it. do i need a tutorial in it? or can a few words on phone suffice?
Our Answer:
Initiating tracking is in this context quite a broad subject. A simple Hit counter can be setup using “Site Meter”, Detailed Web site usage and Hits can most usefully be tracked by Google Analytics, lastly, RSS feeds can be handled and subsequently tracked through FeedBurner(Recently acquired by Google).
All of these sites have free offerings but also involve a steep learning curve to set up, I could set up a good way for you to view your visits from day to day using Google Analytics and Feedburner, though it’s reasonable to postpone this until further in the future when awareness of readership becomes a more valuable piece of information (i.e. to offer readership figures to advertisers etc.)Whether you choose to set up tracking now or in the future, I hope I’ve been helpful with the above information.
