In this article, I'm introducing two analytical tools for measuring website traffic. One is Google Analytics. It provides a free block of javascript code that you can insert into the head of an HTML page. The tracking operation functions by retrieving data about the page request and sending this information to the Analytics server. In the Google Analytics page, you can find in-depth details about visitors on your website, including page views, locations, traffic sources, real-time activities. A feature I find extremely helpful is that you can add multiple users or administrator accounts so that the website owner does not need to share his or her owner account credentials to other helpers, such as moderators who help to maintain the website. The other web analytical tool I've used is http://web.51.la. Same as Google: A free block of javascript code that needs to go within the head of each HTML page. It offers the majority of functions as Google Analytics except the multiple users per account feature. In addition, 51.la allows visitors to view the web traffic if the website owner permits, and the charts illustrated are easier to read than Google Analytics. The downside is that the language 51.la uses is Chinese. You need to be bilingual to get the most power out of it.
