I think everybody already knows, but just in case. Google introduced great and free statistics program, you can you for your real estate website.

The program was formerly known as Urchin and cost about $500 per month. The company was acquired by Google and price dropped to about $200 per month and now the great statistics program is available for free.

Google Analytics

Here is the main window showing you the trend in visits and unique page views. How many visitors are returning or first time visits. As you can see on our ILoveRealEstate.biz website we have currently 28.57% returning visitors. It shows the main sources of visitors. In our example we have 53.17% direct requests, which means people directly typing our domain name in their browser, 16.67% from Google, 4.67% from technorati.com (this is search engine for blogs and it is another example how blogs can bring traffic).

Just for knowing where is your traffic coming from is good reason why to install Google Analytics on your web. It takes about 15-45 minutes depending how many pages do you have (you have to copy and paste code to your page). If you need help we can hel you set up Google Analytics for your website. We like to keep things simple so work like that will be always for less than $50.

Yeah, it’s definitely great, and the discount from $500/mo to $0/mo can’t be beat.

Now, if only they would actually start letting new users sign up for it again…
