Web Statistics Information

We have already established that to sell advertisers a space on your blog you need to keep track of how many people visit your site. To help you in this area we will explain just how useful web statistics can be to you. When we talk about how many visitors you have we are not talking about the number of hits your blog receives but instead the number of actual visitors.

Hits are how many times someone loaded a single element of your page. One visitor can hit several elements during a sinas ads, banners and images but all the hits were made by the same person. So what you are looking for and what is more important is how many people actually visit your blog not the hits they make once they are there.

One of the things that you are actually looking for is called the “unique visitors”. This is the number of visitors that you receive on a daily basis. The count begins the first of each month and a person who visited your blog the day before is not counted twice in this statistic.

Another thing that web statistics show is how many times each person visits your blog. Of course, the more times someone visits your site the better. Return visits show that people are enjoying the contents of your blog enough to keep coming back. Many of the statistics packages that you can receive will have a statistic called “traffic not viewed”. This is how many times your blog has been visited by search engines.
