Website Tracking and Analytics programs not only give you the ability to track the visitors that come; it gives you the ability to take your website tracking to a whole new level not available in other site stats programs.
One of the most important pieces of information is knowing where your visitors come from and what actions they take when they reach your website; this helps you pinpoint the sources of traffic that have the highest conversion rates for positive actions.
A positive action or conversion can be as simple as:
- Shopping Cart Transaction
- ‘Contact Us’ Form
- Visit To a Specific “Jump” Page
- White Paper Request
- Seminar or Webinar Registration
- Download Or Trial
- Support Request
- Quote Request
3rd Party Tracking Analytics
There are other good web analytics programs available (such as Google Analytics)but many people are concerned with having Google Analytics or other analytics programs knowing all the details about your site traffic. Hitslink is an alternative solution that can provide comparable reports to Google Analytics at a very low monthly fee without disclosing your traffic information.
In my 11 years of experience I have never personally experienced a problem with Google Analytics. However, there are other individuals in the industry that question the logic of allowing the people you buy advertising space from see all the details of your traffic sources.
In 2007 Tony Wright wrote an article called Can Google be Evil After reading the article yourself, perhaps you can decide whether or not you are comfortable with disclosing your traffic sources to Google or other paid online advertisers.
The ability to use a 3rd party tracking web analytics program provides a level of comfort knowing you can keep your visitor information confidential. You do not have to worry about disclosing the information to the same people you buy ads from.
