Google Analytics
While I haven’t used Web Dev Notes reminded me what a useful tool it really is. It’s great to find out at a glance information about your visitors to your website. The information is presented in graphical format, so it’s easy to understand.
It is through Google Analytics that I learned one site receives the majority of visitors through searches while another receives the majority from referrals. I have two different methods of promoting these sites. The one that receives referrals I am much more active with commenting on blogs and taking part in contests and memes. The other site because of the content I try to use keywords and depend on search traffic.
