(Page 1 of 4 )
In part one, you learned the important concepts and steps for installing and integrating CrawlTrack into your website. In this part you will learn how to maximize the use of CrawlTrack in dealing with website statistics. You will also learn how to maximize the security of your website.
Before you read this tutorial, make sure you have read the first part and that you already have CrawlTrack fully integrated into your website. This is required for you to understand this part.
Interpreting and Gathering Website Statistics Data
First, you need to log on to your CrawlTrack account. To log on, since CrawlTrack will be installed in the root directory of your website (for example, http://www.thisisyourwebsite.com/crawltrack3-1-1/), type the URL address into the browser and press enter. You will then need to enter your username and password. After a successful log-in, you will see the CrawlTrack Dashboard.
In the Dashboard, you will see 8 major sections of web statistics data with the three most important parts.
The first part is Visitors. This shows the number of visitors to the website in a certain time interval (the default setting is one day/current day). You can customize the period of data collection. Just go to "Period Choice;" a drop down appears with the following elements:
1. Day
2. Last 8 days
3. Week
4. Month
5. Year
6. Everything
Setting the period not only affects the Visitors data but other parts as well (like the "server load," "crawlers" and "hacking attempts" sections.)
The data presented in the Dashboard à Visitors tab is self-explanatory and similar to Google Analytics. In order to see the details of the "Visitors" web analytics data, click the "Visitors" link. You can then view the detailed statistics; for example the "browsers used by visitors," "origin visits," "website and other search engines," etc. The details page of the "Visitors" section should look like the screen shot below:
To browser another section of data, click the "Home" icon. This will take you back to the dashboard panel again.
