Photographers could make great use of the feature rich Clicky Web Analytics which is a detailed, real time web statistics service.
What are the most popular keywords the website is found via Google searches, which pages constitute top content (most visible), which photograph was viewed by most visitors, what percentage of visitors “bounced” or bailed out (left the site without clicking on more than one page) and from which pages plus there are many more uses.
After reviewing these visitor statistics over time changes can be applied to the text or photo content of the website and new strategies can be tested out to receive more visitors, business and revenue.
But first things first: most unfortunately sometimes websites of photographers are not even visible on the internet!
Some photographers, models, makeup artists have 100% flash websites which cannot be spidered / read by search engines. Flash websites are the most beautiful and most professional ways to showcase photographs but they are also almost completely invisible in search results.
Good news: no website traffic means no web analytics is needed. Bad news: usually no website traffic is not a good thing.
The way to fix this invisibility problem is to add text to the website, either under the flash content or on separate pages in a blog.
But only after that is done we can discuss Clicky Web Analytics service.
Why Choose Clicky Web Analytics
Clicky Web Analytics has some excellent, dynamic features unlike some of their “more static” competitors.
Real time web stats are a great thing, with Google analytics you have to wait 24 hours for the data to be visible.
Another thing to consider is that some experts and a growing part of the general public thinks Google already has access and is storing way too much personal information.
Clicky offers all the classic web analytics features plus some truly impressive advanced very web 2.0 like goodies: Google Maps integration, desktop widgets, web statistics via RSS feed, TagCloud, FeedBurner RSS stats integration, ability to track visitors who have disabled JavaScript which is one of my personal favorites.
It is possible to put Clicky Web Analytics on your MySace page!
This is a big deal because MySpace does not allow JavaScript. The way Clicky “gets around” this is by offering an image based tracking system.
The image based tracking system does not have all the features but it does offer useful visitor statistics on MySpace.
You might have seen those world maps on people’s customized MySpace pages where a dot represents the visitor’s country and that is all the statistics available. Clicky can do a “little better” than that!
For Wordpress.org blogs there is a handy plugin, for Wordpress.com blogs the image based tracking system is the option, for Typepad and Blogger simply copying and pasting the code is needed.
Clicky also offers a generous affiliate program.
