It seems to me that there is a real niche in website analysis because all that seems to exist now is a Tower of Babel. I mean for those like myself who runs a blog or website and wants to track your audience.
There are all these various numbers-visitors, unique visitors, pageviews, page impressions. What I notice is that there is so much difference in how different trackers seem to measure traffic.
My blog is on Blogger and it tracks pageviews. I will admit with no problem that in the past I've used online companies that claim to send you traffic.
This traffic would show up in Blogger's pageviews. However, I've just started a campaign that allegedly sends me 750,000 unique visitors and whatever they're sending me is not showing up in my pageviews on Blogger.
I'm also trying Open Tracker to keep track. They are showing a completely different number than Blogger. When I pointed out this the guy says I'd have to take that up with Blogger. Yeah, thanks, that's really helpful.
Meanhile this company that's sending me the traffic can't be reached by phone and seems to answer
Don't even get me started on Google Adsense and Facebook. Adsense dropped me 2 years and no one can explain why or what it would take to get back on.
Listen-if you're a tech geek who knows any answers-not just telling me to read some link-but actual answers out of your own mouth I'd be willing to pay for that information. I got to think there are others too.
Because right now in web analysis you just have a bunch of companies talking past each other with no clear ability to compare their stats.
When you ask them they just say 'Well I can't help what Blogger, Adsense of Open Tracker do, I can just ell you what we do.'
But how do I figure out if what you do is worth anything? Where is the accountability?
