Step 1
Information about site traffic enables the administrator to quickly assess the effectiveness of actions aimed at modernizing the resource. To be able to track traffic, several methods of different complexity are used, from full monitoring to installing the simplest counters on the site.
Step 2
Site monitoring is usually carried out using special programs. They have a large number of useful features, allowing you to evaluate the site for a variety of indicators. One of the most successful programs of this class is the Semonitor3 software package. The only drawback of the program is that it is paid. To find out about the features of the program, go to its official website. The wonderful program Page Promoter has almost the same capabilities, its drawback is the absence of a log file analyzer.
Step 3
Despite the fact that the programs provide very detailed information about the site, most administrators prefer to install simple counters from various specialized services. For example, go to the CY-PR resource, the service provides the ability to perform a comprehensive site analysis. On it, you can also get the counter code that you need to install on the site. The installation itself is very simple - the resulting code is inserted into the page code in the right place, usually at the bottom of the page. Please note that the code must be inserted into every page of the site.
Step 4
Very popular among site administrators is the Rambler Top100 counter. You can get all the information about its installation and the counter code itself by going to the corresponding page of the service. The counter from the HotLog service is no less popular. Its installation is also very simple and is described in detail on the service website. A very good counter offers its users the popular mail.ru service. You can also find a simple and functional counter on the Easycounter website.
