Today I want to tell to you about statistics for websites, to be exact about its{her} language. Yes, the web – statistics has language and before to start to collect the data from the site, it would be desirable to teach{learn} this language. Usually this language like to use at forums, blogakh, clauses{articles}, in programs of statistics i.t.d. Communicating on forums, I noticed, that some people use this language, and do not understand, about what they speak.

Hello, dear reader!

Today I want to tell to you about statistics for websites, to be exact about its{her} language. Yes, the web – statistics has language and before to start to collect the data from the site, it would be desirable to teach{learn} this language. Usually this language like to use at forums, blogakh, clauses{articles}, in programs of statistics i.t.d. Communicating on forums, I noticed, that some people use this language, and do not understand, about what they speak.

Because of it there are various unpleasant situations: since problems in dialogue and finishing{stopping} that, that at them absolutely works nothing. And, apparently, it is necessary to teach{learn} only language and all will be normal. But in any measure I understand these people, they simply do not have opportunity of it{him} to teach{learn}, there is no necessary information. But to you has carried more: in this clause{article} you can learn{find out} the most basic words of this language. So, we read, we get acquainted and freely we communicate. We shall start.

Let’s begin with the most used concepts a hit and a host. Many people brag, that type{collect} huge quantity{amount} is hit. I hurry you to please, that quantity{amount} it is hit still means nothing and to draw sudden conclusions still early. At each loading web – page in a broad gully the file on the server enters the name a hit. A hit (from. English hit – hit). In different systems the given parameter can be called differently: show, viewing or loading. But we shall name it{him} simply a hit. He represents a variable the counter, value which each time increases on 1. But hits enter the name not only when the web – page was loaded. When on page there are figures, they are loaded as separate files, and for each loaded figure one hit will be charged.

Let’s assume, that we have web – page which contains three figures. After its{her} loading 4 hits “will be charged”: one for page and three for figures. Thus, it is possible to draw a conclusion, that quantity{amount} it is hit, the quantity{amount} of visitors and the information which they give not such significant is far from being it. Many do not understand it and at forums there are inscriptions similar to these: « my counter has shown me, that at me 256 is hit, means on my site 256 visitors » have gone. No! It radically is not correct.

Other business a parameter of number of sessions or numbers unique visitors (host) – all this words which mean the same concept.

Separate (unique) visit – visiting of a site by one person during set time (it is usual 1 day). I.e. irrespective of, how much time the given user came on your site and how much he has opened pages, he will be considered only once.

Here the counter already tries to count, how much particularly people came on a site. If the same person came on your site three times the counter will show only one host.

To make it it happens not so that simply. The matter is that those people, which have no constant access to a network the Internet (and them not small quantity{amount}), have no also the constant IP-address. Each time, when they dial to the provider to get access in the Internet him{it} it is appropriated{given} new IP. T.o. The same person can go on your site, then be separated and try to go repeatedly and it already there will be two different persons. But do not worry, there are also other ways to calculate the visitor. But now we shall not press in technical details of how it to make. It already a subject absolutely other clause{article}.

Above I have mentioned interesting abbreviation IP. I believe, that among readers of the given book people which do not know, what is it such can find. Specially for such people my explanatory. Any computer connected to a network and wishing to communicate with other computers, should have unique IP address. If this address there was no, that, as though then it{he} was found with other computers? Looks IP the address approximately so: 127.12.232.78

That mean these figures, already technical subtleties, for gathering statistics it is not necessary for you to understand it. The special program should understand it.

Audience (quantity{amount} of users) site – quantity{amount} of visitors which have seen{overlooked} a site during certain time (day, month, year, i.t.d.)

One more definition which very much often meets in a network. A referral – web – page, under the link from which there has come the visitor. We admit{allow}, that at any forum there is a link to your site. This page will be a referral. Thus, we can learn{find out} from what sites there come visitors on your site. Also it gives the information on what sites refer to you and where it is the most favourable to leave links.

Popular pages – webs – pages which have a maximum quantity of viewings among other pages of a site.

Ways of visitors on a site is that sequence of viewing of pages of a site in which they are looked through by visitors. For example, all over again the user has gone on the main page, then he has passed on page with books, and last place where he was section of clauses{articles}. In a result the way of the visitor can look approximately thus: Index.html-> book.html-> stati.html. This parameter is important enough.

And last definition which to you is desirable to know keywords and phrases are those words and phrases on which visitors find your site through search machines.

As you can see not too it is a lot of words. If further, to you to meet one of these words, and you will not know his{its} value, can open this clause{article} and see, that it means. I hope, that, having read given clause{article}, you have learned{have found out}, something new to yourselves. If it so then my problem{task} is executed.

Successes and good to you of parameters of statistics.
