Web Tracker / Site Tracker / Visitor Tracker
What exactly is a web tracker (also known as a visitor tracker or site tracker), and why do you need one?
The idea behind a web tracker is very simple and has been around for many years. Essentially you place a small piece of code on your website, when someone visits your website, that small piece of code is executed and the visitor's public details (ip address, browser, operating system, referrer, page title and url etc) are analysed and stored for reporting to you later.
The great advantage of web trackers are that they are better at tracking 'real people' as they track browsers NOT server requests. This often means a web tracker will have a significantly lower count than standard log file analysis. But it offers a more realistic figure of the visitors to your website and far more detail.
Some important benefits of the system!
your website home page URL to get a small piece of code that you can place at the BODY section of your webpage for visitors tracking purpose. The application is also responsive to screen. There are options where you can change the width, visibility of the tracking system and other important settings in the tracking code generated. |
