Notes• Almost every major web site has something like a tracker. These are sometimes called "hit counters" or
"visitor logs". Not only do these logs keep track of every time a page is viewed, they also show where the visitor came from and then where they went to next.
• Monitor site traffic - Google Analytics is a free service that enables you to monitor traffic sources and activity via a simple script that you can copy and paste into your site’s header. This is particularly useful for sites that have large lurker populations and/or are geographically dispersed. It’s also a good way to see which parts of a website are being read — and which are being skipped over.
