Simple-to-Use and Free Web Analytics Tools

When fellow marketers question me the question about “How to Make More Money”, I usually have 2 or 3 points to mention where one is a often overloooked point.

Improving CONVERSION.

But to do this you must have data about your traffic, what they do at your site, where they go, with what keywords they found your site etc. Let us talk a bit about how gather such data.

Having fantastic data is crucial for building a successful website. That said, a new website may not really want to pay for data in the beginning. What are some of the best simple-to-use and free web analytics tools?

= General Analytics

There are three primary analytics platforms that provide a full spectrum of data including referral data, traffic data, content data, search data and more.

* Google Analytics - This is the 300-pound gorilla of the tracking space. Google Analytics provides just about all the data you could every want, 100% free.

The downside to using Google is that a lot of people don’t feel comfortable having all their sites linked together by Google, mainly if they’re experimenting with unconventional back-linking techniques or other “grey” areas of marketing.

* GoingUp - GoingUp provides just about everything Google Analytics does, and a small more.

GoingUp also provides heatmap tracking in addition to the typical analytics data, meaning you can really see where people are clicking on a graphical show. This can give you a lot of useful information about your user’s behavior.

* Piwik - Piwik is an open source self-hosted tracking solution.

If you prefer to have your tracking hosted on your own servers rather than risk having it on someone else’s server, Piwik can be a fantastic way to do it.
They have a strong reputation for building fantastic software, the code is written by hundreds of dedicated developers all over the world and their platform provides all the functionality that Google Analytics does.

* ConceptFeedback.com - Want to know what people reckon of your design before you launch? Why not post it to a group of marketers and designers for review?

ConceptFeedback.com is a free website where people can post their business, marketing and design concepts to be reviewed by their peers free of charge.

It’s a fantastic way to get a gauge of what veteran designers and marketers reckon before you launch.

* Compete.com - Compete.com is a competitive research platform that allows you to spy on your competitor’s keywords and traffic statistics.

Though their data isn’t “accurate” per se, it can still give you a very excellent gauge on where their traffic is coming from, as well as what kinds of keywords are working for them.

Though you do need to pay to get complete access to Compete, the free version gives you a limited number of keywords and traffic sources – enough to get a very excellent sense of what your competitors are up to.

These are some of the top free web analytics tools available to webmasters today. Most of these tools are simple to use and can provide you with data that will make running your business much, much simpler.

Have a fantastic day.

Will Speeding Up Your Website Helps Your SEO?

admin — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 17:12:43 +0000

Often times internet marketers go to all the distress of having fantastic sales copy, a fantastic process like email sign-ups, and so on.

What’s the one thing they forget?

Their website speed.

No matter how excellent your website is, if it loads slowly you are costing yourself sales. People aren’t willing to wait forever. The load time is one of the main things that impacts the site’s overall usability.

Studies have shown that if a site takes more than 4 seconds to load, the visitor will leave. You don’t have long to capture people’s attention. Therefore, if you don’t succeed immediately it won’t get done.

And load time helps with SEO as well. Many people don’t realize this, but it’s right.

This is because routine is one of the variables the search engines use in their algorithm to rank sites. It might not make a huge difference. But, it does impact your rankings some. So now that you know the importance of having a quick loading site, how do you speed things up? Here are five tips that work:

#1) Eliminate every image you can

Images are one of the largest reasons sites take a long time to load. Therefore, eliminate the ones you don’t need. If it doesn’t enhance the look and feel of the site, get rid of it.

#2) Shrink your images

Huge images slow things down. So after you’ve done the first step, you need to make your remaining images smaller. Do the same for other content. Getting rid of all unnecessary content is key for speeding up your site. Many sites contain lots of filler content that could easily be gotten rid of. This could mean pictures, videos, and so on – not simply written content.

#3) Declutter the code

Getting rid of unnecessary line breaks and other things in the code will help your site to load quicker. Again, this might not make a huge difference, but every small bit counts.

#4) Get a excellent host

Your site can’t perform to its optimum if it has a terrible hosting company. The majority of hosting firms are excellent enough for sites that don’t get a lot of visitors. But, it’s when your traffic increases that you will notice a difference. When your site starts to slow down, try changing hosting plans or companies. You might find your speed issues disappear altogether.

#5) Eliminate unnecessary widgets

Often when you place something on your site like AdSense or a Twitter feed, you will see a slowdown. Therefore, test the site with and without it, and see how much of a difference it makes. If it slows things down dramatically, and it’s not increasing your profits, you will probably want to get rid of it.

The bottom line is, there are a number of steps you can take to increase your site speed. Implement these five tips and you will see results soon.

Have a fantastic day

Do I must know HTML in order to start my web site?

WealthyAffiliatePlatinumBonus.com reveals……………

MYTH #7

I must know HTML, programming, and graphic designing in order to start my web site, which I obviously do not know.

The truth……….

I know nuts about programming, too. Well, maybe a bit more then a newbie but way less then a pro.

And by professional standards, I am not really well-versed with HTML, either.

There are several other individuals who are worse than me in these domains, but earn more than I do, because they either outsource for professional help or establish Joint Ventures with other individuals who can compensate their lack of knowledge in any one of these areas.

This sure is a stunning but right fact because most of these successful individuals were not from IT backgrounds whatsoever.

If you want to make your web pages without having to learn programming, HTML and designing skills like me when I started out, I strongly recommend this option to you.

Internet Marketing is all about teaching another person how to start an Internet Business

admin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 00:09:43 +0000

WealthyAffiliatePlatinumBonus.com Reveals…….

MYTH #6

Internet Marketing is all about teaching another person how to start an Internet Business, and it goes on and on.

Internet Marketing is, in a nutshell, marketing and selling products and/or services using the Internet as a medium.

More often than not, Internet Marketing is often perceived as “selling another Internet Marketing or Internet Business” product to another person. This could not be any further from the truth!

Whoever comes up with statements like this are not seeing an inch wider about the entire picture. Consider the following:

Is Google.com about teaching another person how to start an Internet Business?

Is eBay.com about teaching another person how to start an Internet Business?

Is Amazon.com about teaching another person how to start an Internet Business?

Don’t get me incorrect, though. There is a lot of money to be made in Internet Marketing itself. The last time I checked Overture, the keyword “Internet Marketing” yields a stunning
313,805 searches a month!

The number of people going online in pursuit of starting their Internet Businesses increases exponentially every year. On top of that, that could also mean there will be more virtual versions of B2B (Business-to-Business).

Nothing incorrect with that, though. After all, the chemical manufacturing company I was working in last time has customers who are mainly companies themselves, some even well-known names. Does that make conventional businesses all about “teaching another person how to start a conventional business?”

Likewise, some of my repeat customers are top marketers you have probably heard of. For example, I supply some top marketers with “raw contents”, namely Private Mark products, for their businesses, just as the chemical company I was working in supplies raw chemicals to other cleaning companies so that they can run their cleaning operations.

While there is real money to be made in Internet Marketing, I caution you to use your wise judgment in trusting who you want learn from, because like anything else and in religion, there are always “fake prophets”.

Most people say, “Beware of the guru”. But I reckon that “fake prophets” are perilous all the time. “Fake prophets” today are not automatically con artists and scammers, but they can also come in the form of… believe it or not, one-week-ancient newbies!

They would go on write a book on making 5-6 figures and later go to the public forums and question questions such as, “How do I sell this eBook?” “How do I write my sales copy?” and “Why am I not making any sale?” Ironic but right.

Do you want this kind of person for a mentor – a one-week ancient, green newbie, who has no proven credibility whatsoever?

Also, there are more untapped niches and hungrier demands you can cater to outside the “Internet Marketing” niche itself. Just so I demonstrate a few points, I have exposed some hot niches/keywords that yield the following results from Google at the time of searching:

Food - 2,069,675 searches/month
- Gourmet Food - 39,357 searches/month
- Dog Food - 12,514 searches/month
- Food Recipe - 8,194 searches/month
- Quick Food - 18,502 searches/month

Health - 199,512 searches/month
- Beauty Health - 126,518 searches/month
- Fitness Health - 68,298 searches/month
- Care Health - 133,970 searches/month

Dating - 4,056,700 searches/month
- Online Dating - 308,404 searches/month
- Dating Chat - 83,272 searches/month
- Dating Site - 72,473 searches/month

Notice that “Dating” and “Health” yield higher search results than that of “Internet Marketing”. Not to mention that people are willing to pay for any kind of useful, sophisticated information on dating and health topics, since they are the hot stuff of the century, and in time to come!

These are just merely a couple of examples of niches you can go into.

Do you still reckon that Internet Marketing is about “teaching another person how to start an Internet Business”?

Is Paid to surf a good Internet Business?

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 00:05:26 +0000

WealthyAffiliatePlatinumBonus.com reveals all about Make money Myths.

Myth #5

Paid to surf is a excellent Internet Business I will do well to make a living on.

Most paid-to-surf programs are either illegal or not workable.

While there are legitimate paid-to-surf programs, they are not considered Internet Businesses to you as a member, unless you are the one starting and running the paid-to-surf program.

More often than not, it is unworkable for most surfers, and it mainly benefits the advertisers and its paid-to-surf operators.

I certainly would not consider a paid to surf program as a Make Money opportunity.

Stuffing envelopes and joining $6 “Money Games” are considered an Internet Business.

admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:00:52 +0000

WealthyAffiliatePlatinumBonus.com Reveals all about Make Money Myths.

MYTH #4

Stuffing envelopes and joining $6 “Money Games” are considered an Internet Business.

This is another sickening myth that I am still surprised that a lot of people really subscribe to.

This is not what I call an Internet Business (although in the principal scam letter, it is always pitched that “he questioned his lawyer and he said it is legal”), but a cleverly-plotted and deceitful scam that started right from the top of the pyramid scheme and all the way down.

I must admit, though, that whoever came up with these, sure is a genius who is insulting a lot of people’s intelligence successfully.

I would not elaborate it here, but if you are interested in finding out what and how these Internet scams operate, do your homework on the Search Engines. Use “product name+scam” to see what others say about the program.

Just know that online actions such as stuffing envelopes, $6 “Money Games” with your name moving up to the top and down the list with other 4-5 names, etc. are scams and not Internet Businesses.

Is it too difficult to make money online?

admin — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 23:55:53 +0000

WealthyAffiliatePlatinumBonus.com Reveals Internet Marketing Myths.

MYTH #3

It is too hard to make money online.

Since I said that it is not going to be simple money, does it mean that it is too hard to make money online, too?

Hey, ever heard of the razor-edge? It is not going to be simple, that is a fact. But I did not say that it is going to be too hard, either!

If you know what to do and really do it, you would not see this as impossible.

This is because if you are hardworking but do not know what to do or are heading into the incorrect direction, you are wasting your time, money and you would get de-motivated even quicker.

On the other hand, if you have the knowledge and know-how but do not place apply it, all you get are theories, but no money.

I have met individuals who are probably working harder than me but earn less, and also those who know more than I do, but are not doing a thing.

So, you need to integrate your knowledge and action into one, and place it into use. It would not be too simple, but it would be too hard, either. Ordinary individuals like you and me are making money online everyday.

So, can you!

Can I make easy money from the Internet?

admin — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 23:40:07 +0000

WealthyAffiliatePlatinumBonus.com Reveals more Make mOney Myths.

MYTH #2

You can make simple money from the Internet.

If it is what I am having in mind right now, this myth is what sets the realistic apart from the unrealistic. You have certainly heard of tales of how people make 4, 5 and maybe 6 figure incomes in the shortest period of time imaginable.

While that is right in genuine cases, and I do know of some of these powerful, wealthy individuals, what is often not seen in the success tale is the kind of hard work and wisdom place in by these individuals before they saw the results.

It may seem as if they were overnight successes, but I do not reckon that they would agree to it, after having place what it takes to be successful on that day itself. That is like calling a new-found star an overnight success, which I doubt he or she would reckon so, after having place in all his or her effort, talent and dedication for perhaps, the past several years or so.

Yet, being attracted to advertisements that goes “Earn $10,000.00 in 6 months” or the likes is what most people subscribe to. If you appreciate your intelligence, you will do well to stay away from ads or programs with hooks like this.

Starting and running an Internet Business is expensive?

admin — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 02:19:15 +0000

WealthyAffiliateBonus.com reveals some of the largest myths about Internet Marketing.

Myth #1

Starting and running an Internet Business is expensive.

This statement often comes from people who are living in non-U.S. countries, mainly if the country’s local currency is smaller than that of the U.S. Dollar.

I reckon it is more expensive to trade in my financial freedom for receiving such a small check at month’s end for the rest of my life – at someone else’s mercy, on top of that. And this is in any case of what currency my money may be in.

A wise man once said, “If you are not getting anything excellent out of your situation now, you are probably trading something else better for it.”

If you are living in a country where things are not as expensive as in some western countries, you should see it more as an advantage rather than a drawback. Why worry about how much it would cost you in US Dollars when the amount of money you can make in US Dollars excites you even more?

Not to mention, that an Internet Business is a lot more affordable to start for individuals like you and me as opposed to starting a conventional business, which is obviously more risky and it would take you longer time to save your money or better financial intelligence to even start one. And if you make a financial mistake that ultimately closes your conventional business down, it would be a question as to when you can start again.

If you still reckon that starting an Internet Business is expensive, then you are probably trading your souls for cents. Is that how much you reckon you are REALLY worth?
