XSites Statistics
This is where you see which pages on your site have been getting the most
traffic and from where. After logging into your XSite admin area, click
XSite Statistics from the My Office
screen. We’ve arranged this screen and the information so that you
don’t have to be an official webmaster to make heads or tails of the
information.
- Most of the sections show you a page name and then stats going back a
varying number of days. You can sort columns in these lists by clicking
the column header (i.e. Clicking the “7” would sort on that column.)
- Likewise, you can pick your own date range for a category by picking your
own start and end date and then clicking Submit.
Here’s a brief description of each of the sections. The “Tell me more”
link for each section also gives details.
- Online ordering stats. Displays pipeline, average
fee and turn time.
- Page Views. This shows a list of your top pages and
how many views they’re getting. Your home page will usually be your top
page, but isn’t it interesting to know what other content visitors are
reading.
- Entry pages. An “entry page” is the first page somebody
hit when they entered your site. If you publish articles or list URL’s
other than your domain, this shows how effective they were. For
most, the home page will probably be the top entry page, followed by order
management.
- First time and returning visitors. Whenever someone
visits your website, their IP address and other information is logged on our
servers. (Did you know that YOUR information is also sent to all the
websites you visit?) So, we know if they’ve been to your site before and
give you statistics here.
- Referring URLs. Another piece of information sent
to a web server when a computer browses to a site is the last website you were
viewing before reaching the server. Some of this information may be
meaningless to you, but if you see a lot of “hits” that have Google or Yahoo!
in them or maybe a news site where you posted an article, you’ll know from
where it is people are hearing about your site.
- Common Search Phrases. We analyze your referring
URL’s and pick out which ones are from search engines and also the text that
led someone to find you there.
If you’re serious about web “hits”, consider tracking the information we
display here in a spreadsheet so you can get additional running totals and truly
measure the success of your marketing efforts.
