What I check on my web stats December 30, 2005

Here is what I do on weekly basis with Webalizer stats. First I check unique visits per day.

That gives me idea how is the website doing. Going up or down?
The second step is to check the TOP Entry pages and Top Exit pages. Top Entry pages gives me idea what pages are people finding in the search engines. I usually focus on such pages and try to add more content.

Then I check Top Exit pages. That tells me where users leave the web. On these pages I try to changes to give users reason to stay. Usually I add some links which might interested users coming to the pages.
Then I look at top referrers. This shows me who is bringing me most of the traffic. Is it Google, Yahoo, MSN or anyone else? Did someone linked to me from their blogs? This is the place I see what is happening.
The last thing I check is the most popular keywords people are using to get to the website.
Webalizer is very simple statistics system. It is provided free with our inexpensive hosting, but from the SEO viewpoint it gives me enough information to make the most important decisions about SEO. Based on daily visits I see if the website is going well, based on top entry pages I know what pages people are finding as interesting in search engines, top exit pages gives me idea where to improve, referrers and keywords gives me idea who is bringing the traffic and what keywords are bringing the most traffic.
