Web Site Traffic Statistics - 2 Reasons Why You Need More Than One Web Form

You've got your web site and your blog up and running. The website even has a Web Form on it to collect names and email addresses. You're all proud of yourself! Until someone asks you how many variations of Web Form you have created. How many VARIATIONS of web form? Why on earth would you need to create more than one? To gather web site traffic statistics - that's why.

And why do you NEED to gather statistics?

1. So that you know where your traffic is coming from.

Remember the way you just added the web form to your website and put a link to that website on your blog? Well, it's good to know which page your visitor arrived at first - your website or your blog.

AWeber describe this as Ad Tracking. Basically, you have one List (and one confirmation email) but more than one Web Form - one for each page your visitor could arrive at. You give each Web Form a different Ad Tracking name.

You will then be able to check which page your visitors arrived at first by checking "Ad Tracking" in your Suscribers statistics.

2. So that you can Split-Test your Web Forms - to test different headlines, colours, submit button text, how much information to ask for, etc.

With AWeber you can add code to your web site to automatically rotate different web forms and tell you which one generates more subscribers.

To do this you need to create a split test, decide what % of the time you want each form to appear, copy the HTML code you are given and paste it into your website.

The statistics can be seen on the Web Form page.

You will be amazed at the difference to your results if you spend a little time studying your web site traffic statistics. And it's not difficult - is it? Once you know how.
