Do you know the answer to these questions?

• How many visitors are you getting, per day, per week, per month?
• Where are your visitors coming from?
• What part of the World are they in?
• What words did they type into a search engine to find you?
• How else are they finding your site?
• What browsers are they using?
• What links are they clicking on?
• What links are they not clicking on?
• How long are they staying on your site?
• What pages are most popular?
• Which pages are least popular?
• What page do visitors usually exit your site from?

Think about how beneficial this information would be to you in determining the success of your online presence.

The simple fact is that many people fail to check/monitor their site's performance yet it is essential to the continued success of any online business that it is optimised to perform to it's maximum capacity. It is only through accurate monitoring of how your site is performing that you can ensure this continued optimisation. Customers on the Web have so many options today - if they cannot get what they want in one place, they can, and will, get it elsewhere.

We offer a complete tracking solution where we monitor EVERY aspect of you site traffic, down to the finest detail. We provide you with a monthly report detailing your traffic, where it comes from, and how it behaves once it is there.

Using this data decisions can be made for improving your site design, layout, your keyword strategies, your marketing campaigns and anything else that we believe will improve your product and service.

For Example

If your site is achieving 1000 visitors a day but only achieving 20 or even 50 sales or leads from those visits, there is great room for improvement. Our analysis lets you make these improvements.

If it is Broken, Fix it!

It is considerably easier and cheaper to increase your sales to existing visitors than to try to attract newer ones.

A further benefit of this monitoring comes from determining how well your online advertising spend is working for you. Determining the eventual profit to you of visitors coming from paid sources i.e. Google ad-words, banners on other sites, etc can help you determine whether or not these expenses are paying a dividend or not.

In order for your website to appear online you must have a webHost. A Web host stores all the pages of your website and makes them available to computers connected to the Internet. Your domain name, such as "thesingingduck.com", is actually linked to an IP address that points to a specific computer. When somebody enters your domain name into their browser's address field, the IP address is located and Web site is loaded from your Web host.
We offer a range of hosting packages that suit whatever needs and requirements you may have. All of our hosting packages offer the following features:

• Email antivirus filtering
• Email spam and spyware filtering
• Uncapped mailbox sizes
• Mailing lists
• Autoresponders & forwarders
• Domain parking and Domain Forwarding

Packages are available in both Linux and Windows platforms - please note that your particular type of website may dictate which you can choose.

We have packages available from €8 per month, fully maintained. We can help advise you which package would best suit your needs depending on requirements such as bandwidth, space, domain allowance etc.

Ever heard the term 'If you build it, they will come'?
Well, unfortunately, that does not apply to Websites. The truth is that once you have your Website in place and online there is work to be done to get visitors to visit it. The process of designing a site to maximise traffic from search engines is termed Search Engine Optimisation or SEO.

Increasing your ranking in the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask Jeeves, etc can be a complicated one involving skilled use of many web disciplines. 'Ranking' refers to your site's position when a person does a search for a particular word or term. A high rank would place you in the first few 'non paid for' positions.

At its simplest, SEO involves the careful adjustment of the wording and content within your site to match terms your target audience are likely to use when searching the web for your products. This is called Keyword optimisation, and it is very important that your site's content and structure has been laid out optimally. As a customer of thesingingduck.com your site will have such a structure as part of it's initial design. For customers with pre-existing websites , it is very important that this issue is addressed. Potential customers need to be able to find you easily. The cost of Keyword optimisation of your site depends on the size and complexity of the site, but costs are very reasonable - even on large sites. View our pricing guidelines here.

At it's more complicated, SEO involves a systematic multi-tiered strategy involving tools such as Keyword optimisation, linking/back-linking, marketing, Blogging, Community building, and much more. Getting your site to appear in the highest positions in the search engines takes time and effort over months. Staying there is a continous process also. Costs for this type of service are obviously higher due to the sheer volume of work involved, but returns are greater due to the increasing ranking your site achieves, thereby ensuring more potential customers visit your site.

Many companies specialise in SEO alone. Thats all they do! For this service of increasing a website's ranking in search engines, and thereby increasing traffic, they charge thousands - per month. A spend of ,say, a thousand euro per month is only good value though if that investment results in thousands of euro per month in extra sales.

So how do you decide how much to spend on SEO

A few factors to take into account when deciding on how much to spend on search engine optimisation are:

1. How many extra visitors will a higher ranking bring me?
2. Out of every 100 extra visitors, how many can I convert into customers?
3. How much is each of these customers worth to me?
4. Finally, how much of a loss is it for a potential customer to not find my site, or to find my competitor's sites long before mine.

Think about it like this, if it costs 20 euro to get a person to your site and you make 100 euro from a sale to that customer, that is good business. If you save the 20 euro cost, and so forego the 100 euro from sales, is that good business?

Only you can make that decision.

Another type of Optimisation that is relevant to a website's profitability is site optimisation. Consider the 4 points raised above. If the answer to question 2 - were quite low it would be very worthwhile to reassess the structure of a site to find out just why the conversion rate was so low. Getting new visitors to a site is fine, but if many of those hard-earned visitors are not being converted into paying customers, there is something that needs to be addressed other than just traffic. A site with a conversion rate of 10%, getting 1000 visitors a day is failing to sell to 900 people a day. Spending money on SEO to attract more visitors may not be the best approach here. Improving the customer experience to raise that 10% would be cheaper, easier, and would yield much better long-term success.

There is a phrase we always keep in mind when building sites.

Every visitor is a potential customer
Every customer is a potential repeat customer
Every repeat customer is a potential referrer
Every referrer is a potential affiliate
Every affiliate is a potential source of all of the above.
