Use these tools/methods and your traffic will skyrocket

[Paul_KY]

Ever wonder how much traffic your competitor/friend/associate, etc. receives? Well, now they can't lie any longer :up2: : http://www.metricsmarket.com/ One thing though, I have many sites, which receive 50-80 hits per day, but don't show up on the radar. But ukwebmasterworld.com comes up and I saw one of Eric's sites come up also. I think there's some sort of, "cutoff" where they don't list if the traffic is low. So don't get discouraged if your site doesn't come up.

Paul,
This is and incredible collection of tools. Why not compile them into a neat list so that we can post them as a sticky so that it will alway be at the top of this forum.

Thanks Paul, a very useful det of tools.
Pity we don't have a simmilar set of KW for the UK market as I see many language and terminology differences.

smeagain,
I know you are very busy but if you even have time on your hands, and can us it to write a description document for a tool you would like to see, I will be happy to create it.

Good thought Temi
Were you thinking of Desktop or Online ??

I have thoughts that I have been putting together and thinking of joining forces with a "Good Coder" to provide a certain tool set in a Desktop App for commercial distribution.

[temi]

smeagain,
Online is usually faster, Desktop require more work. But one can have a "lite" version online and full version as on the desktop for commercial distribution.
The "lite" online version will also serve as advert for the full commercial version.

I am game for this project if you are.

Here's another, "Free" tool: http://www.statcounter.com/
And you know how I feel about, "Free" stuff :roll: I wouldn't post it unless I thought it may be useful.

You are FAR better off using the "Access Log Files" from the server and a simple (some are free) log annalyser App to get the exact stats you need.

OK Temi were on the same wavelength so sounds like a joint venture in the making.
I will send you a Preliminary outline on your EM then we can bounce it back and forth to finalise an SOR for the programming stage.

Excellent smeagain,
I look forward to your proposal
