Web analytics
Web analytics is the study of online behavior in order to improve it. Web analytics refers to web measurement and analysis irrespective of whether you own or maintain a website. It includes the measurement of a website's potential audience (opportunity), share of voice (visibility), and buzz (comments) that is happening on the Internet as a whole.
Web analytics measure a visitor's journey once on your website. This includes its drivers and conversions; for example, which landing pages encourage people to make a purchase. On-site web analytics measures the performance of your website in a commercial context. This data is typically compared against key performance indicators for performance, and used to improve a web site or marketing campaign's audience response.
Many SEO companies/professionals even have their own proprietary software to provide analytics information. But there are plenty of web analytics software and services available that are free cost to the users. All web analytics utilities provide information on:
- Profile of visitors – whether repeat visitors or unique, geographical dispersion of visitors, web browser used etc.
Number of visits to a website?
- Number of pages visited

We bet that this information is useful. A website owner can know what works and what not for his/her website. Seeing this information for the first time is really great and you can do it any number of times in a single day. But most of the people get too overwhelmed with just one information, ‘number of visitors’ and everything else gets lost.
