Thanks for the wonderful article.knowledgeable piece of information being shared here.
how many hits? How should a person aware of the hits.Well really taken aback to know that JavaScript page tag based web analytics programs and a log-file based analytics program affects the number of hits.
Anyways good information shared

This is useful information. I have only just started serious blogging and am already pleased that my blog gets a few daily hits from Google.

Jim, our blogging efforts have only recently begun, and this has been helpful for us to know what to be looking for. I’m hoping we can both increase the total number of visitors, and the number of repeat visitors. Thanks!

Excellent post. Traffic is one of the hardest concepts to explain to people without the eyes glazing over in minutia.
I agree with many that if you are a real estate agent and your goal is to drive leads, then traffic from many sources is not important, but highly targeted traffic is.
If you are like us who are writing for a larger audience than overall traffic is an important measure.
Keep up the great work
Tom

Justyna,
Thanks so much for coming forward. I felt terrible that I didn’t have your name…. and my labeling of ‘novice’ was a shot in the dark as well. I assumed by your question that this was a fair description, but mostly wanted the readers to know that if they had the same question that this answer was for them.
I am writing a post with Teresa right now on the Hit to Lead Correlation, I can’t wait to see how she rips me 🙂
Thanks again for coming by, we are thrilled to have your readership.

Elizabeth,
Given that all measures are inaccurate, if everyone who cares about their rank in relation to their peers’ used the same platform for measuring traffic, then I would think that this would at least provide that understanding. Who gets more than me, and who gets less?
I know that this has nothing to do with business, and is only relative on a competition level, but that vein seems to be popular.
Brian,
As a user (handcuffed user) of Typepad, I mostly ignore the stats they provide. This is because the stats are limited to page views. Which, although important, is not the same as “visitors”. I generate around 800-1000 page views a day. More than twice the number of visitors, I suspect.

OK… Now I’m even more confused. I see you are on a Typepad platform so I’m guessing you understand it.
What is Typepad telling us on our meter?

I should also note that the stats reported by blog sites are not accurate. In fact, they are woefully inaccurate. My stats are recorded daily by About.com, and they are tens of thousands above what blog sites report. Since I am paid on page views, I highly doubt that About.com would inflate its page view stats, leading me to believe that the blog sites are inaccurate. Hey, check them. Every site is different. Why aren’t they identical or even close to each other? Because they pull numbers out of you know where. My average hits are 4 per visit, meaning readers go to three other pages on my site before they leave. And that’s not high by any standards.

I got 4 listing appointments from my blog this week. I can’t keep up. Yes, others have more visitors. Good for them. I don’t get paid by people who visit. I just want people to call…
