Configurable Summary Stats
These stats are designed to show at a glance how many
pageloads, unique visitors, returning visitors and first time
visitors your site has received to date. They can be configured to
display data of specific interest in a number of different ways. You
can:
- display summary stats per day, week, month, quarter or year
- display summary stats for a specific date range or period
- display summary stats using bar graphs or area graphs
- toggle on and off pageloads/unique/returning/first-time data
So, for example, you can choose to view only pageloads for
the period 13 Jan 2005 to 26 March 2005, or view pageloads, unique
visitors and returning visitors for the Last 8 Weeks ¨C virtually any
configuration is possible. You can also ¡°save¡± your favourite
configuration so that it automatically displays every time you
login. Try out our summary stats using the demo here ¨C we're sure

Drill Down
Drill Down is a very powerful tool, and one
of the most advanced features sitestatisticsweb offers. It allows you to
drill down on your stats and view visitors relating to them ¨C
because you can drill down on many of the stats sitestatisticsweb offers,
it's difficult to provide a comprehensive example, but here's one
way in which this can be used:
If you go to Keyword Analysis
for example, you'll be presented with something like the following:
We've marked the entry for the keyword ¡°hit counters¡± - by
clicking the upside down triangle you drill down on that keyword to
show all visitors who used that keyword in a search engine to find
your site:
And, of course, you can then click on the Magnify
User icon to get a detailed report on the user and their navigation
path through your site!
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
You can drill down on many stats, including Popular Pages, Referring
Links, Entry and Exit pages and so on. For example, you could drill
down on a page of particular interest ¨C like a checkout page ¨C and
see the visitors who loaded that page, and subsequently magnify them
to see how they got there. This kind of information is invaluable
for optimising your most important pages and driving traffic to them
¨C a combination of the drill down and magnify tools is the wise
webmaster's most potent ally!

Popular Pages
This tool allows you to see the pages of your site
ranked by popularity. This information is important to allow you to
identify the most heavily visited pages, and optimise them for
maximum impact. It can also help you discover potentially important
pages which are getting overlooked ¨C this could indicate poor
navigation structure or linking to that page. Of course, you can
drill down on your Popular Pages to see which visitors loaded them,
and magnify those visitors for more detail.

Entry Pages
An entry page is the first page a visitor arrives
at when they visit your site. There are often a lot more of these
than just your homepage! It's important that the first page a
visitor loads on your site makes a good impression, and this tool
can help you identify which pages are the most commonly used entry
pages. It can also highlight pages you did not expect to be entry
pages, which you can subsequently optimise to keep a visitor on your
site and drive them to your key pages. You can also drill down on
your entry pages to show the visitors who entered on them, and
magnify those users to find out how they got there.

Exit Pages
Opposite to the entry pages, are exit pages ¨C
pages your visitors use to leave your site. No webmaster needs to be
told the importance of knowing where their visitors are abandoning
their site! This tool shows you the most common Exit Pages, allowing
you to optimise those pages to keep visitors on your site.

Referring URL's
This is one of the most important stats for any
webmaster. This tool allows you to see how your visitors are finding
your site, and where they are coming from. This can help you
identify, for example, links on other sites that are working and
those that aren't, and help you trace where people are referring to
your website.

Search Engines
Traffic from search engines is the
lifeblood of most websites, and many webmasters are familiar with
the importance of ranking high in search engines for keywords
relating to their site. This tool allows you to view the keywords
used to reach your site, ranked by their popularity. This can help
you identify keywords that are working, and those that aren't, so
that you can optimise accordingly. For example, if you know a
particular keyword is generally very popular for your type of site,
but sitestatisticsweb indicates that it ranks low among the keywords used
to reach your site, then there is an opportunity there to optimise
for that keyword and generate more traffic from it.
You can
also group keywords according to the search engine used, to focus in
on results from specific engines.
Of course, you can also
drill down on a keyword to view specific visitors who used that
keyword, and magnify them for more detail.

used to reach your site, the visitors who used them, and what search

visitor who used that keyword.

Visitor Paths

and the navigation path they took through your site. You can use

Time Spent
This tool shows you how long your visitors are
spending on your site ¨C find out what percentage of your visitors
stay for various periods of time. This stat is important, as it can
help you determine how much ¡°pull¡± your website has for visitors ¨C
if your visit length is typically low, you may wish to find improved
ways to keep your visitors on your site for longer.
You can
drill down on specific visit lengths to view those visitors who
stayed for different periods of time ¨C drilling down on short visit
lengths and magnifying those visitors will show their navigation
path, which may help identify why they only stayed a short time.

more detail on that visitor.

Country Stats
These stats allow you to
identify the geographical location of visitors to your site. Asides
from the fun of seeing all the different places your visitors come
from, this tool can be useful in identifying if you need to be
catering more toward international visitors. For example, if a large
number of visitors are coming from another country, it may be worth
investigating translated versions of your site, or whether you
should accepting that country's currency (if you're an eCommerce
website).
