I never realized that my web host provided me with the way to check on the number of visitors that come to my website.  I guess I must’ve missed the fact that they offer website statistics software to help their customers measure and analyze the website traffic their website receives.

So today, I decided that I would take a look at the statistics from the visitors that my website collected to see what I could do to increase my search engine rankings.

Looking through the statistics I found that my website was a little more popular than I had thought, and a lot of my traffic was coming directly from the search engines.  Looking down the page, I noticed that many people were finding me under the search terms that I expected them to, but there are also other phrases that I had not thought of that were driving people to my website.

From now on I think that I will be paying more attention to the statistics in an effort to increase the visitors are coming to my website.
