Last month, we started discussing website stats.

I described what web stats actually are and showed you how you can see your stats on the CommercialVoices.com site. This month I'll go over those numbers using one member's actual numbers (anonymously) as an example.

So we bring up the page for this member's stats (let's use Member X as a
name) - again by using the URL
http://commercialvoices.com/platinum/MYPAGE/stats.php, where you replace
MYPAGE with your CommercialVoices.com username - and we see the following info:

Platinum Stats For: Member X
Year Hit Count
2005 723
2006 459

This shows us total number of hits to Member X's page for both 2005 and 2006.

We can click on the year 2005 to see the monthly breakdown and we get:

Platinum Stats For: Member X
Month Hit Count
September 225
October 153
November 201
December 144

So in September Member got 225 visits to his page, in October 153, etc...

We can also click on the month September to see the actual pages that were visited that month and we see:

Platinum Stats For: Member X
Page Hit Count
contact 52
bio 51
clients 44
demos 43
free 35

So again, Member X had 52 visits to his contact page, 51 to his bio, 44 to the client page, etc...

Now once again, we can click on a specific page (say the bio page) and we get a very long list of info (shortened version here):

Platinum Stats For: Member X
Date Time IP
Sat Sep 17, 2005 19:22:30 70.51.208.105
Sat Sep 17, 2005 19:22:37 70.51.208.105
Sat Sep 17, 2005 19:24:02 70.51.208.105
Sun Sep 18, 2005 22:16:51 65.93.217.27
Sun Sep 18, 2005 22:16:59 65.93.217.27
Sun Sep 18, 2005 22:17:12 65.93.217.27
Sun Sep 18, 2005 22:18:22 65.93.217.27
Mon Sep 19, 2005 01:12:04 64.229.16.74
Mon Sep 19, 2005 01:12:18 64.229.16.74
....

This shows all the dates, times and IP addresses for all the visits to that page in that month.

So that's great -- all that information is available to you as part of your Platinum Membership to CommercialVoices.com.... so what do those number really mean?

I'll be going over how to interpret these number in greater detail next month! In the meantime, more happy stats!!

Cheers,
Bruce
