W3 COUNTER

FINDING OUT WHO IS VISITING YOUR WEB SITE IS EASY WITH…. W3 COUNTER

FIND OUT WHO'S USING YOUR WEBSITE, HOW THEY FOUND YOU, AND WHICH PART OF YOUR CONTENT ATTRACTS THEM.

I have recently chosen the web tool called W3counter. I have chosen this tool because the company which i will be helping is my family business which is tourism orientated. Since the company is selling a PRODUCT it is great to know certain things about the demographics of customers.

A lot of customers do not like participating in questionaries and it can often be quite hard to find out certain details about the customers.

With the W3 counter we can find out a lot about the customers but more importantly we can find out exactly what we want to know about the customer such as Where the customer is from, what the customer was searching for when they found our page. ( which can help with future product marketing). and also certain other little aspects like how many times they clicked on a particular link and how long they spent on the page.

I know this is not a particularly technical tool but if you are managing a web page for a customer your main income can often come from site management and maintenance.

With this tool in your inventory you could potentially charge the customer for marketing research and other useful information that most businesses would be very interested in finding out. On the other hand you could also give the customer access to this feature without letting them into the control panel feature where they can do damage.
