Site Build It! tracking puts you in charge

Site Build It! has superb tracking. The in-depth statistics tell you what pages are getting you traffic and what keywords people are using to find your site.

I didn't really see the point of all this information for the first eight months and I never used these stats in my first site.

Recently I've really appreciated seeing the keywords - or key phrases - people are using to find my site. Some of these keywords I hadn't actually optimized any pages for. So I went back and added these keywords to my pages and, as a result, managed to get a little extra traffic.

Take a look at this table taken straight out of the Site Build It! traffic stats page. It shows me what pages get me the most traffic. This allows me to focus my affiliate links and selling techniques on the most popular and profitable pages. Talk about saving me time!

It becomes instantly obvious which pages should get the majority of my attention. Traffic stats like these become priceless as your site starts to mature and you start to get serious. The most popular page is the main page.

The comprehensive tracking in Site Build It! also tells me where your traffic is coming from and what pages my visitors leave from. You could pay a great deal on money for this kind of tracking separately and then have to go through the trouble of setting it up. With Site Build It! powerful tracking is integrated from the start and is always there when you need it.

I can't even find the name of your DJ tips site much less its URL. Would like to see the site for myself thanks. Oh btw great article.

[Thanks. Rupert did mention the domain name in the article. It's dj-tips-and-tricks.com . Allan.]

Rupert mentioned getting a Domain but nothing was mentioned about Hosting, or am i missing something? Also when building new sites is a different Domain needed or do you have Sub Domains? Sorry if these are silly questions, but i am a newbie just reading up.
Regards Graham

[Web hosting is included in each Site Build It! package. When using the SBI system, a new domain name and a new subscription to SBI is needed for each new website. Allan.]

Great article. I have started an SBI site, great to know that it works! Not yet built enough pages to submit to directories but nearly there. By reading the article I now have an insight into what can be done. Having read loads of ebooks and trawled the net I really can recommend SBI highly. Thanks.
