Tracking Visitors:

Tracking site visitors is very rewarding for both students and teachers and can provide valuable data to your school. The most basic means of tracking the number of visitors to you site is to place a counter on your home page which automatically increments by one every time the file is accessed by a visitor. Instructions on how to add this counter can be accessed at our Web Site Interaction section.

Another straightforward but much more telling means of tracking your site, is to register with an online tracking service. These services provide comprehensive online reports; including daily, monthly and yearly statistics on your site's number of unique visitors, the domain names of the visitors, countries of visitors and the URLs of sites providing referrals to your site. A small monthly fee is charged for this service or the fee is waived by agreeing to place a small advertising banner on your home page. SuperStats, www.superstats.com, for example provides one of the most easy to use and comprehensive online tracking services.
