WEBSITE ANALYTICS TOOLS
When it comes to web analytics tools, there are
many different options to choose from. Each
tool has it’s own unique set of strengths
and weaknesses. Because different projects
need different analytics capabilities, it is important
to have a thorough understanding of the various
analytics tools in order to choose the best one
for a specific project. Because Noon-an-Night
has had extensive experience using all of the most
popular analytics tools available, we can help
you select the one that will help you best track
your objectives.
Urchin: Urchin is arguably the most popular web
analytics tool available. Although Google
uses Urchin for their free analytics software,
a commercial version of Urchin 5 is available for
companies with more extensive reporting and tracking
needs. With the proper training, implementing
and using Urchin is surprisingly easy. The
data that Urchin provides is quite plentiful. From
click-path analysis to IP address reports, Urchin
provides you with virtually all the data you could
possibly need to analyze and improve your search
engine marketing efforts.
Hitslink: HitsLink is another popular web analytics
tool. HitsLink provides real-time reporting
on who is visiting your site, how they found, how
they get around on your site and if they perform
any major actions on your web site. HitsLink
also helps you analyze how effective your advertising
campaign is. If you are running a pay-per-click
marketing campaign, HitsLink can also help you
identify any potential click fraud. In the
event that click fraud does take place, HitsLink
gives you enough evidence that will allow you to
get in touch with the search engine or advertiser
and receive a refund for the fraudulent clicks.
WebTrends: Finally, WebTrends is another popular
web analytics option. Whether you are a
small business or a large corporation, if WebTrends
fits your needs, Noon-an-Night can handle or teach
your in-house staff how to use this analytics tool
to its fullest extent.
