Low Cost, Effective Results to Increase Website Traffic
For as little as $49.95 monthly, you can analyze your visitors, track and test your advertising campaigns, and improve your conversion rate and ROI on your website. Price includes your monthly hosting and also the domain name renewal yearly if you host your site with us.
Your Website Traffic Statistics registers visits and views of site pages. Your website allows you the opportunity to collect information about every visitor. Some of this information can be invaluable to assist you in understanding how visitors find your site, what they need, what they were looking for when they came to your website, how they navigate through your pages, where they leave, and when (and why) they return. Employing a web analytics program may be as serious as a decision to completely alter your marketing strategy from what you learn!
There are two ways to obtain website traffic statistics and information. First, it’s possible to retrieve visitor data by reading the server visitor logs. The second method is to use a real-time visitor tracking system or a comprehensive web analytics program.
Every visitor's request is recorded by the server in its visit log. It looks something like this:
127.0.0.1 - computer [ 05/Sep/2007 : 11:55:32 -0900] " GET /apache_dr.gif HTTP/1.0" 200 2326 "http://www.thisisanexample.com/now.html" "Mozilla/3.08 [en] (WinXP; I ;Nav)"
There is some readily useful information in this server access log. Many log-analyzing programs are able to parse these server logs and display the information it contains in a user-friendly form that you can access if your web host provides the method. But if we take a closer look, this process does not truly present useful information for your marketing and understanding of how best to convert your website into revenue. Log analyzers cannot give you detailed and distinctive information about the repeated and unique visits to your website, transaction cycle time, technical details of a visitor's browser, screen size and operating system, the effectiveness of your advertising campaigns and marketing, keywords they used to find you and which sites were the referrers, etc.
For these reasons the best solution is a web analytics program.
Web Analytics provides Real-time visitor tracking of your website traffic statistics. This allows you to analyze the data and provides you more information than simple server logs do because the data is gathered instantly at the time of the visit and immediately from the visitor's computer. That’s why this type of approach is called “real-time” visitor tracking.
The statistics are obtained from program code, which we embed into the source of your web pages. Your web page code tells the browser to show the page statically on the vistors screen and simultaneously perform certain other actions as well.
This process and code remains invisible to the web surfer that is viewing your web page. The data is passed to our Web Analytics tracking center and is stored in our secure database. When you request the statistics for your site, the data is then organized into the necessary report to provide you with detailed information about the traffic that visits your site. No personally identifiable information is collected from the visitor and the visitors privacy is protected at all times.
We then organize this data into comprehensive reports that are readily available at anytime by using a special login program we provide you. The data is then useful for you to understand how to improve your traffic conversion, make more sales and increase the overall success of your website. More importantly, as this entire process can be rather complex, we break it down into understandable terms and assist you in determining the steps necessary to improve your success. This is not just some automated software program like most others are offering but a real-time assistance program to help you be successful.
Some of the benefits of the Web Analytics program are:
Understand your visitors more clearly. Find out how they browse your site, what they were looking for, and what makes them leave the site without wanting to come back!
Evaluate the commercial efficiency and ROI of your site. Find out how well each incoming traffic source performs in terms of revenue generated, registrations made on the site, subscriptions, newsletter sign-ups etc.
Get full details on each transaction made and see a comprehensive audit of the path a visitor takes to become a buyer or perhaps more importantly, the path a visitor takes to not become a buyer.
Find out if you are wasting money on page design, site design, pay per click programs, etc., or if you can improve upon those ingredients and if so, how.

In order to be truly successful proper site analysis is imperative. Fierce competition pushes web sellers to seek out ways to promote their websites online so that people find them in the search engines rather then their competitors sites. Search engines can bring a massive amount of web traffic to your site. Without proper traffic analysis of your website you never know whether your online Web store is giving you maximum return or whether it could work better. If you invest in paid advertising, without proper analysis you can only guess at how effective your investments really are and your money might be better spent elsewhere.
Example:
Imagine, you are paying monthly for three ad campaigns in local newspapers. If you use a special link on each ad you would be able to track the response from the individual ads in a basic log analyzer provided by your web host. But you won’t know if the visitor the ads directed to your site has made a purchase on your website. Therefore, you are in the dark as to how the visitors convert into sales from each of the ad campaigns - that is until you combine the campaign tracking with some kind of sales tracking like a web analytic program will provide. In addition, you won't know the path the visitor takes through your site, how long they stay on any given page, or much anything at all. Web analytics will give you those answers.
Our Web Analytics program gives you not only the fullest possible view of your web traffic, but also the most convenient reports on every visitor detail including where they came from, how they navigate through your site, how many times they complete a transaction, and how often they return. More than that, our program helps you summarize your Web analysis data and then displays it in trends and charts that are easy to follow. This makes understanding your market much simpler and provides you with the groundwork to make strategic decisions about your marketing, your site design and your return on investment. This is how the most successful companies become successful on the Internet today and how they continue to maximize their success. With our program you also receive your own login to your reports area where you can view your real-time traffic on a daily basis and access all of your reports, so you are never in the dark as to what is going on or how the program is working for you.
How much does the web analytics program cost?
Check around and you will find that generally Web Analytics are very expensive services. Even though we carry virtually all of the same certifications and training as others do in this field we have not chosen to charge the average rate of $90 per hour for personal service, leading to monthly minimum charges well into the thousands or the monthly charges averaging thousands of dollars. We have always said that we are the "Champion to the Small Business" and our principles hold true to keeping our costs as low as possible while still providing the highest quality of services. Of course, our service is designed to help small businesses compete effectively against big business on the Internet.
Rates are $49.95 per month for the basic Web Analytics service plus .69 per each 1,000 page views over 16,000 page views. A small site generally will not have over 16,000 page views and will only pay the basic rate. Our basic service is usually best for most smaller sites and it covers a lot of territory. You receive over 90 reports that are organized into eight different categories and provide you an in-depth analysis of your website visitor with real-time tracking.
For most of our customers, this is the best choice, unless you sell goods or services online and pay for advertising such as PPC or want to track conversions then you need our Commerce plan which is $79.95 per month and .89 per 1,000 page views over 12,000 per month.
There is also an initial set-up cost for each service. Basic is $275.00 and Commerce is $375.00. With this service we require monthly payments in advance on recurring monthly billing with a major credit card. Valid credit card required to be on file for monthly billing of page views. We also require ftp access to your site in order to set up the system to track your visitors real-time.
Don't be fooled by similar sounding services with slightly lower prices. There is a big difference between a big corporation offering you a purely automated web analytics tracking software system with limited reports and then leaves you to install and figure it all out and our proprietary service which is installed for you, has over 90 different types of reports and also incorporates the professional and personal ongoing monthly guidance of a CIW Certified Professional and Web Analytics specialist. We want to help you be successful and we take a personal interest in your success. We believe it's about good business and that is why Adtastic Hosting is the Champion to the Small Business.
We employ a CIW Professional Certified Webmaster and Web Analytics specialist to provide you a detailed personalized monthly analysis of your site conversion included in this service. This will help you to understand the information the service provides you and know how to best utilize it to help your website be successful.
We provide volume discounts on page views for our customers with highly-trafficked websites. We provide a 4% discount that is automatically applied if the monthly number of page views is higher than 28,000. The maximum discount we provide is 40%, which is effective if your site enjoys 5,000,000+ page views per month.
Please note that monthly page views are rounded up to the nearest thousand. If you are switching from the Basic to the Commerce plan, changes will take effect at the beginning of a new month.
