How To Boost Your Marketing Campaign With Visitor Tracking

By: Mal Keenan | Posted: 27th July 2005

Who cares, as long as they visit your site, right?

Wrong!

It is a fact that traffic, or the number of people who
visit your site, could make or break an online business.
After all, we cannot sell our products if no one would get
to know about them. The problem is, most webmasters would
rather concentrate on generating more traffic by dabbling
in countless marketing strategies instead of honing a
particular one to perfection. The former is susceptible to
new risks, while the latter eliminates old problems for
improved performance. Clearly, tweaking your site is the
way to go. And you could do this efficiently with the aid
of visitor tracking.

Visitor tracking has long been hailed as a science, and for
good reasons! The accurate findings that visitor tracking
can provide is the key to creating a site that is both
friendly to everyone who would grace its pages, and
enticing to everyone so that they may try its features.

How is visitor tracking capable of all these, you might
ask. Consider the powerful deeds that visitor tracking is
capable of:

* With visitor tracking, you would be able to know where
your visitors are coming from. With this knowledge, you
could make corresponding adjustments to your marketing
campaign. Know what area to target, what kind of people to
focus your attention on, and how to win their interest so
that they would come to your site.

* With visitor tracking, you would also be able to know the
sites your visitors would go to after lingering in yours.
You would be able to ascertain an aspect that has eluded
even the best socio-oriented marketers in the world:
consumer behavior. Visitor tracking would allow you to
determine a pattern based on the conduct of online users,
and you could make this work to your advantage.

* With visitor tracking, you would know how much time your
visitors spend in your site. If their visits last for mere
seconds, then such is a telltale sign that something is
wrong with your pages, and adjustments need to be made to
sustain their interest and make them stay longer.

* With visitor tracking, you'd know which links work best.
This is awesome for two reasons:

A. You'll be able to find out which of your links are
producing the best results, and you could pattern
subsequent campaigns based on that method; and

B. You'll be able to increase your Google AdSense revenue
by knowing which ad links are actually being clicked and
which ones are just collecting dust.

* With visitor tracking, you would be able to know how your
visitors go about in every visit to your site. Which pages
do they open first? Where do they go next? Where do they
stay longer? This is an invaluable knowledge as it would
help you tweak your site to lead your visitors where you
want them to go, instead of relying on where they would
rather proceed.

It has been said that success can only be attained and
sustained by constantly improving ourselves to meet every
challenge thrown our way. With all the benefits that
visitor tracking provides, success won't be that far away. About the Author
