I suppose testing and tracking should be an obvious thing that people need to know about, but over the years traffic generation has always seemed the 'obvious' topic of interest. Personally, I use a tracking script I installed on my sites as well as the AWStats on my Cpanel and I find the combination very powerful. Knowing who's visiting, where from, when, how often and why is a pretty good base of information. With that information you can offer more of what your visitors want and perhaps re-work what they don't want. I'll be honest - some of the things I've seen have surprised me, but I can't argue with the numbers. In fact my most popular site is one I didn't spend much time on. How's that for ironic? And it's not this site! I was surprised at Frank’s results, too, John.

The result surprised me, when “tracking” came out on top but now I am a convert. Even simple stats that you get from the Awstats on the c panel of your server will allow you to see the pages on your website that are attracting visitors. Here is a neat little video.
