Hi everyone,

Although I wanted to write about RSS Feeds this week, I was beaten to the mark by a good friend of mine, Alex Sysoef, who runs the Web 2.0 Wealth System. In his post today he posted about RSS Feeds, and how to get traffic to and from them. I received an email from him yesterday saying that he’d got over 600% (six hundred percent!) increase in his RSS Traffic, overnight!

** Traffic Measurement Techniques **

Back to our main topic, we were looking at the website Internet Marketers Against PayPal and today you’ll learn about Measuring Traffic at Your Website.

So go ahead and click that last link above so you can access the free (and paid) tools on that page.

Now if you’re ever serious about running an online business, you’ll need to learn where your traffic is coming from.

• Are you getting traffic from Article Directories ? If so, how would you know which ones are bringing you the traffic ?
• Are you using PPC ? If so, are you paying too much for your keywords, and are you actually making a profit ?
• What about organic search engine traffic ? If you were found in the Search Engines, what keywords would be bringing people to your site ? You’d need to know a little about SEO and Keyword Research to answer these questions. (I’ve been having a LOT of fun with Keyword Elite over the last 2 weeks, it is really worth it’s weight in Gold !! More on that a little later
• What about video ? Will that bring you any traffic and if so, how to use it ?
• You hear a lot about web 2.0 style websites, do you think they can bring you traffic to your site ?

I could go on and on about website traffic, but let me back up just a little here and give you a kick in the pants. Here it is, you ready for it ?

Most online marketers don’t go for the Niche. It takes time and effort to learn the skil of finding your own niche. Do you know the best method of finding a niche ?

OK – Here’s today’s tip, so be prepared to lock this is (Who wants to be a Millionaire ?)

Locate a Keyword or Keywords that people need a solution for. All you need to do then is facilitate the link between the hungry subscriber and the solution.
You can do this easily through Keyword Elite. Then you’ll need to perform a little SEO on those keywords and monitor your sites performance.

(Woops, I’m getting sidetracked here. For a full list of Keyword Research Tools click this link.)

The question is: How Do I Measure Traffic To My Website ? Well my favorite is GOOGLE ANALYTICS. Man I wish they had an affiliate program as it totally ROCKS ! However since it is free I can only recommend them to you via their link on the page above.

I have also used the free traffic counter Stats Counter. They also provide a comprehensive range of analytical functions for your website – though Google’s tool just blows them out of the water completely.

You’ll see other functions there as well – so take your time to check them out. My recommendation is that if you haven’t opened a Google Analytics account then I urge you to test them out today ! Then to trace the traffic sources, keywords, search engine traffic, PPC traffic, etc, all you need to do is add one small piece of code to your pages, and the stats will start pouring in !

It’s like showing a blind man how to see – notice I said SHOWING, not TELLING.

Well that’s it for today.  I hope this post has enabled you to track all the measurements from your website, provided you with inspiration to learn what is freely available, and got you in the right frame of mind to start building your niche themed website.

Take care and God Bless you all, Brad Smith
