Any decent web host should provide you with web site statistics, and probably some application for analyzing the data. With that it is easy to see how many page views you get, how many unique users, what pages people go to, etc. It is also easy to see where a person came from when they clicked a link, since referrer data is logged by the web server. So you can see how many people come from a given site or a given page on another site. In this way, you can easily see how many came from Google or Yahoo or wherever. You can see how much the traffic from that site has changed in the last week or month or whatever. You can also see the specific search strings they used to find you, since that is part of the referring URL at google. It can be pretty interesting, and really helpful for helping you to maximize the usefulness of your website. (and sometimes weird, I noticed in the LD stats the other day that a small number of people were referred to LD from a site called extremeblowjobs.com. I can only guess why there would be a link to LD there.) kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
