How to check whether our website is performing good?

Just wonder is there a way to measure our site performance? I have no idea where to get this data from? Any idea? Please help. Thanks

 

exactly what kind of stats are you looking for? IF just basic stuff use Google Analytics.

 

"You don't have to be a Fortune 500 company to build an excellent web site to promote your business and deliver real value to your customers

 

Google Analytics is what I use. Its free plus it tells you where your traffic is coming from.

Awstat in your Cpanel is what I use also to compare what Google Analytic is picking up but nothing is completely accurate when you use free tool but these two are good enough for my business

 

Google analytics can cause problems with SEO and page ranking - particularly if you want to do affiliate marketing.
Guru's like Greg Jacobs (of Mage) suggest never using google analytics
Instead I use the free open source Piwik for tracking - then everything is under your control - http://piwik.org/

 

Wow thanks good to know that!

 

Nice discussion.... Ty for answered..

 

Hey I just installed Piwik on all my sites. Thanks for that great advice! Wordpress also had a plugin too so that helped. Open Source is much better.

 

A simple but yet powerful method is rely on statistic software. The free and details is Statcounter free account.

 

There are loads of tools:
Google Analytics
Alexa Site Ranking
Google/Yahoo/Bing Webmaster Tools
You can even track the number of sales but I'm not sure if this applies to your situation or not.

 

I use statcounter. It really works great to let you know what keywords your traffic is using to find you, what pages the traffic visited and much more.

 

For my 99 sites, I used Google Analytics and Piwik.

 

histats(dot)com .. register, add ur site.. get ur code place it on your pages.. and you'll get what you need.

 

I personally believe in google analytics. They have worked really fine for me. There is no harm in trying it and then checking if it works for you or not.

 

This will be useful for you - Measuring Website Success

 

I currently use Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Tools and Raven Tools. GA merges into Raven Tools so you can track keywords better.

 

I use Google Analytics and some SEO related sites to check my site time to time.

 

if you are the owner of website use google web master and analytic tool to see your site performance

 

Google Analytics tells you how many people came to your site.

There is also software that monitors where you are in the search engines and reports how you've risen or dropped.

 

other then name, source please?

I see sources all over the net that say otherwise.
