Traffic Tanks – Week 3 Of Dean Holland Starting With Marketing
I have just started week 3 of Dean Holland’s Starting With Marketing coaching program. If you want to read pervious weeks modules click here
Module 3 – Traffic Tanks
As you know the biggest hurdle people face in their online business, is knowing how to drive targeted traffic to their websites. Without traffic, no one will be visiting your website, no one will purchase your product or service, quite frankly no one will know your online business exist.
Tracking Your Website Traffic
In the training modules Dean Holland discuss the importance of tracking traffic that is coming to your website, so you can see what traffic methods are working and to adjust your traffic strategies accordingly. The wordpress plugin that I use to track my traffic is Google Analyticator. Google Analyticator has features that I find useful such as a dashboard widget that displays a graph of the last 30 days of visitors, summary of site usage, the top pages, the top referrers, and the top searches. Google Analyticator also integrates well wth Google analytics.
You will also need to register for an Google analytics account to get your detailed traffic reports sign up here
