Anyone with a website should be able to track where visitors, or potential customers came from. With this information you can work on problem areas or capitalize on strategies that are working. In either case knowledge is the key. For example, by adding a simple tracking code to each of your web pages you would know how many hits were obtained from an email marketing campaign or which search engine is providing the most traffic. You will even be able to tell which key words are being used in order for your customers to find your web page. To start I recommend one of the free tracking services. I use eXTREeMe Tracker. With the eXTReMe Tracker you get every advanced feature required to picture the visitors of your website. Conveniently arranged, numbers, percentages, stats, totals and averages.

To insert tracker onto your own website just click on the link listed below.

Sign up for a free account and then copy and paste the HTML code onto your website. I usually set up a template for each website. I then paste the Tracker code to the bottom of my template page. This way the tracker will automatically appear on every page which utilizes the template. After the tracker code is in place you can easily click on the tracker logo on any page to check your stats.
