WEB SITE
MONITORING
 About
Guestbooks & Counters
Guest books & Counters can assist
you with monitoring the traffic to your web site.
Counters are simple scripts in CGI or Java format
that count the number of visitors (or hits) that
view your site. They work in the background of
your site. They are not always reliable due to
the fact that they might count visitor reloads as
new visits. Guest books are also scripts in CGI
or Java that open up a new window for your
visitors to sign in and possibly give comments on
your site (depending on how you have it set up).
Not all visitors will want to sign a guest book
and they are not recommended for business sites.
There are quite a number of free services for
these types of scripts.
 About
Web Statistics
Web Stats are similar to Guestbooks and
counters except they will give you more
information regarding your visitors. They can
more accurately detail the “flow” of
traffic to your web site and will give you
information regarding the referring URL, country
of origin, computer platform, browser type,
monitor information, as well as information
regarding dates & times of visits and also
information regarding which search engine they
might have used to find your site and which
keywords they used to find your site. They can be
quite helpful in finding out where your visitors
are from as well as which pages they found most
interesting and visited. Platform & monitor
information can be quite important to make sure
that your site is capable of viewing properly the
various browsers & monitors. There are a
number of services for these types of services.
Some are quite costly and some are free.
 Message
Boards & Chat Room
Messageboards & chat rooms are
different from Guestbooks and allow interactivity
with your visitors. Message boards allow your
visitors to place a message or question on the
board where other views can see and respond to.
Chat Rooms function in “real-time”
allowing visitors to talk to each other or
members of your staff. They can be an ideal way
to provide customer support for your organization
by posting times of access where you can have a
member of your staff on line to answer support
questions.
