Analyzing your Website with website statistics


Analyzing your website is very important thing that you should often do. You should check where your visitors come from and for how long they stay. And that which pages are popular with them and what the bounce rate
is. This and other things will provide you with a deep insight of what your visitors actually want and what they are seeing



There are a number of tools which can help you do so. One is Google Analytics. This is probably one of the best website analysis tools there are. It provides graphical data of the number of visitors, pinpoints them on a map, tells you the sources of traffic and the visit length of visitors.It also tells you about the computer specifications of your visitors. In short, it provides the most complete information that you'll need. And given the fact that it's FREE (yay!), we give it a 5/5. Try it out!



One more tool is StatCounter. It has two versions, a free one and a Paid one. There are lots of features in the free version, with the main drawback being that you can only record the details of your last 500 visitors. That limit can be increased by upgrading, though. StatCounter also provides lots of data, including visit sources, visit lengths, and lots more.



Then there is SiteMeter, which also offers a free version. It provides a lot of data, including the details of all(I think it's all) visitors. You can view in a world map the locations your visitors came from and their computer specifications.




There are many other website stat tools out there, we just briefly reviewed several of the best.
