smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 02:46PM If you have a website and no one comes to it, does the site matter?
smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 02:47PM Web developers could put up a redirect of homepage to a porn site. Not even a chancellor/presidents speech would have that much impact!
smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 02:51PM Bounce rate means someone comes to your site and leaves right away.
smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 02:51PM Moving to a subdomain counts as an exit. Actually you can change Google Analytics so this isn't the case.
smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 02:54PM edurank,nucloud.com is used to rank sites. Compare rankings of websites. Interesting, but broad measure.
smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 02:56PM SiteScan and WASP (firefox plugin) for checking tags. www.sitescanga.com/
smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 03:03PM I created an automatic PHP script when in Admissions to do this, should knock the dust off this and share.
smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 03:07PM "this tells you what visitors can't find" I disagree, search is more than that. Many users default to search instead of standard nav.
smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 03:09PM #1 referring site 192.168.91.129 to Wofford... isn't that a UNL IP?
saltybeagle says Oct 07, 2008 03:10PM 192.168.* would be internal network IPs, nearly all routers use those IP addresses for their local subnet routing
smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 03:10PM Add the the hopeful destination to URL QS of 404 page so you can track down these pages in analytics.
smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 03:12PM There is more to track than just your site (Facebook, LInkedIn, Offline Campaigns, etc...)
smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 03:13PM Email... keep the stories short, send to website and track from there.
smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 03:14PM email tracking still coming in weeks later. Not necessarily because of click in link, their cookie just hasn't been updated.
smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 03:19PM Many sites offer analytics on their services: YouTube, Facebook, etc...
smeranda says Oct 07, 2008 03:20PM Kyle's rules: 1. Always be testing. 2. Don't get caught up in numbers. Look at the trends.
