Hi Friend,

Dave and Aaron here. Welcome to issue #68 of the "Your
Journey to Freedom" newsletter.

Another great week has passed... and other week closer to
reaching your goals.

We've got another bumper issue for you this week and if
your serious about making your business work, we suggest
that you begin to implement what you learn today... not
tomorrow!

"A persons success cannot be judged solely based on their
level of knowledge, but rather on how best they use that
knowledge"

Listen... we know from experience that generating an
online income is not easy. When first starting out, it
can be a difficult, frustrating and lonely job, and the
thought of quitting goes through your mind about 3 times a
day.

But just remember that when all the hype stops, when all
your friends are saying "I told you so", when you're
sitting in the silence with only the faint sounds of your
computer whirring in the background, you're not alone.

We're here for you!

So if you have a question or would like some guidance,
just give us a yell and we'll do what we can to help.

That's what we're here for :o)

===================

Just recently we spent some time in an online forum that
we regularly visit and there was a thread being discussed
about New Year resolutions for 2005. Just for you info,
here's a sampling of some of the posts that we found...

- I will donate at least 10% of my earnings to an account
  that I will later use (in 2006) to start my non-profit
  organization.
- I will retire my mom.
- I will buy my family a gorgeous Mercedes/BMW (haven't
  decided which one yet).
- I will have my teeth fixed.
- I will be debt free.
- Ensure each day that I have time for my wonderful wife
  and that her needs for love and cherishing are met.
- I will make myself accountable to local friends and
  ensure that my life is kept in balance.
- I will make at least three more good friends.

Now how many of these people actually follow through with
their resolution and achieve their goals is not important.
What is important is that these people know what it is they
want.

Like they say...

"You can't get what you want, if you don't know what it is
you want"

So before you tuck into this week's issue, stop for a
moment and reflect on what it is you would do if failure
wasn't an option.

Once you've done this, resolve to make it happen... then
do what it takes to succeed... and never look back!

===================

We get a number of enquires on how people can learn all

We learned the hard way... by trial and error... and
destroying several computers in the process! :o)

bunch of worthless ebooks. They are genuine.ly informative
and should be very helpful to you if you're trying to get

Understanding Your Website Traffic Stats!

If you want to know how much traffic is coming to your
site, which pages are bringing the most traffic, where are
your visitors coming from, and when is traffic coming in,
you just have to analyze your website's statistics.

Nowadays, most web hosts utilize Webalizer, a powerful
program that processes your raw traffic logs (long, text
based files with information about your traffic), and
generates meaningful reports presented in the form of easy
to understand graphs and tables. Other hosts may use
different traffic analysis tools, but they all work and
present the information in a similar fashion.

We'll show you, step by step, how your web site statistics
can answer almost any question you may have about your
traffic:

How much traffic is coming to my site?

The two most important parameters are:

a) Number of Visitors
b) Number of Page Views

The Number of Visitors shows you how many users come to
your site and request a page. The visitor can move around
your site visiting several pages, however he will still be
counted as only one visitor. An exception to this rule
occurs in the rare occasion when a visitor takes more than
half an hour (or the amount of time set by your host) to
click from one page to another, in which case the program
will register two visitors.

The Page Views parameter indicates how many pages have
been requested. It is a very important number because it is
indicative of the "stickiness" of your site. Stickiness is
a good thing: if, for example, your statistics show 10
visitors, but 50 page views, it means that, on average,
each visitor has viewed 5 pages. A large "page views per
visitor" ratio usually means that your site is so
interesting and valuable that users are inclined to "stick
around" and explore.

Other somehow important parameter, especially if you have
bandwidth restrictions, is the Kilobytes Transmitted. Sites
with a lot of pictures, or sites that allow downloads
(reports, ebooks, audio files or video) will incur in
significant bandwidth usage. If you operate a plain HTML
site but still show an abnormally high bandwidth usage, you
may need to optimize your images to make them less heavy.

Finally, a less important measure (although it was heavily
hyped in the early days of the web) is the number of Hits.
Hits represent the number of files sent to a user after a
page request. If a page has 30 pictures, one single visit
will trigger 31 hits: thirty for the pictures and one for
the page itself.

Through where on my site is traffic coming in?

You may be interested in knowing which pages of your site
are bringing in the most traffic, since not every visitor
will come through your home page.

Your traffic statistics will show you a list of the most
popular entry pages to your site, ranked by number of
requests. Sometimes, internal pages can bring in more
traffic than the homepage itself. This may happen when a
particular internal page is very well optimized and
regularly shows up at the top of the search engine results
pages (SERPs), or when it offers such good content that
other sites link directly to it.

You will also find a list of the most common exit pages
(the last page your users visited prior to leaving your
site).

How is traffic coming in?

Your traffic statistics will show you a list of referrers.
Referrers are those URLs that lead a user to your site.

Referrers are ranked by the number of hits they produce.
That is why the vast majority of referrers will be URLs
from your own site (since HTML pages usually contain
embedded links to other objects such as graphics files,
they generate a large number of hits). However, if you
filter out your own pages, you will see what external URLs
are bringing in visitors to your pages.

External referrers generally fall into two categories:

1. Pages that have posted a link to your site, and
2. search engine referred traffic.

You will also find an entry in your referrer list named
"Direct Request"; it shows you the number of times somebody
accessed your pages by either directly typing your URL in
the address bar, by using a bookmark or by following a link
on an email message.

Analyzing your traffic statistics will also tell you what
keywords are your visitors using to find your pages through
search engines. This is extremely important since it will
tell you if your selected keywords are working or not. It
may also bring to your attention keywords that you may have
not thought about. You may then use those keywords to
further optimize your pages and bring in even more traffic.

When is traffic coming in?

You can also find out when are visitors coming to your
site. You will find statistics by month, by day and even by
hour. This can be useful in a variety of circumstances.

For example, if you publish new content, you may want to
release it during the moments of more traffic. Your
statistics will help you by identifying the days or hours
when more people are likely to visit your site.

Finally, you will also have access to other interesting
data, like the IP addresses of your visitors, the browsers
they are using, and even the countries they are coming from.

Altogether, the information you gather from your website's
traffic statistics will provide you with a wealth of
valuable insights, so that you can continuously fine tune
your internet marketing strategy to bring more traffic to
your site.
