Web traffic is traffic which is getting generated on the internet or on your Local Area Network (or LAN)
Several web hosting companies provide a web traffic statistics monitoring software (some are free - for some, you need to pay for). This will help monitor the usage on your Local Area Network - it will download the software and upload the statistics pertaining to the traffic that is generated on the web. It will help monitor the IP traffic between the Internet and the Local Area Network. If there happens to be a new connection, the system will be able to detect and monitor it. It will help to count the upload and download traffic of the computer. In short, it will create a traffic monitoring system.
This system can monitor the upload and download of each network interface. If your system goes down, it could help in running a special program. It could also assist in informing you the status of your websites by sending you an email.
One of the best methods for web traffic monitoring is through Google Analytics (what is more, it is completely free), it provides various important and relevant data such as views per page, path track (such as the page on which the surfer entered and finally the page from where he exited), user sessions, the number of visitors on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, the time spent on each page, the number of pages on an average visited by each surfer etc. Other important information that it provides is the browser through which the surfer has visited your website, the geographical location, the connection speed of the processor which the user is using, the screen resolution etc. All this will enable you to modify your website after gauging the type of visitors which you are getting. The idea is to make it more convenient for your existing frequent visitors and also to entice other casual visitors to visit your website for longer, more productive visits.
Having a systematic, scientific, periodic check of your website traffic will only assist you in ensuring that your website is doing well - if not, to take corrective measures before it is too late.
Efficient web page tracking software programs come with an easy interactive option where the user, if he is finding it difficult to use or does not understand something, can get online help quickly and in a language that he can understand (without being too technical).
There is no doubt (like in most fields) that the majority of people (atleast fifty three percent) still prefer to use the "free" option for web tracking software (where there is absolutely no payment to be made), another approximately eighteen percent use software where a nominal payment is needed and only about thirty percent use software where there is a definite, substantial payment to be made.
