Who do you socialize with online?

Do you have business contacts on the internet?

What resources do you have with your online business?

Do you believe you can be successful online by yourself?

Would you prefer to have a reliable and trustworthy network of contacts?

All these questions and yes there is a point for asking you for all of this information.

You see I do have reliable and trusted online social networks and these people make a difference in my internet projects. You need to build a network of contacts, which will give you the opportunity to have a group of people to discuss strategies with as well, a group who will provide you with honest yet constructive criticism.

In my opinion this is necessary as a part of your online strategy. Your online experience is not always going to be a straight forward journey. You will have hurdles and roadblocks to overcome. You will be tested in ways beyond your imagination, to see what strategies you put in place to overcome these obstacles.

Web Site Analytics – Are You Getting Visitors From Prisons?

A key point of analytics is understanding the multiple channels sending traffic to your website. Google,Yahoo,MSN and Ask are the primary sources for direct traffic for 90% of the websites.

Web Site Analytics is a key component to your online success. This is a subject that needs attention because you are the executive of your internet business. You are in charge of the succcessful outcome of your business and its web presence.

Understanding your web business deals with more than just knowing how many visitors you have each day. It is crucial to understand, at minimum, terminology, what to look for and to know how to analyze key data taken from log files.

Even if you are using analytics software solutions it is important you understand what the software is telling you. You may not see yourself as a web analytics guru at your online business, but if the only thing you decided to learn was key performance indicators (KPI) that knowledge alone would provide you with important data to make informed decisions.
