Help to manage your website

You need to be able to manage and maintain your site, so that you can be able to adapt any part of your business if its not working.  Thankfully, there are many things that can help you do this.  Today we will be looking at some of them.

Useful tips to help manage your website

Google Analytics

This is a great tool that you should be using for your website.  Google Analytics allows you to track every aspect of your website to see how it is performing.  This is vital for your business as it allows you to pinpoint the different parts of your website that are working and which are not.

Google Analytics lets you track how many visitors you have had, where in the world your visitors are from, your top content, most visited pages, traffic sources that are sending visitors to your site, new visitors, bounce rate, average time on site, keywords and so much more!

To try to build a successful website without Google Analytics is like fighting blind.  Knowing exactly how you are performing on a day-to-day basis is vital for success.  You can clearly see if you are producing content that is attracting visitors.  Perhaps one particular blog post was really popular, you could do a follow up on that particular subject.  

Backup your website

Backup, backup, backup!!!  I'll say it again just to make it clear what I'm trying to say.  Backup, backup, backup!!!

Making regular backups of your website is SO important!  There are plenty of things that can go wrong with a site that can result in you loosing everything, such as; getting a virus, a hosting problem, someone hacking your site, etc.  There are ways to prevent these things happening, but its comforting to know that should anything happen, you have a recent backup that you can republish. 

So, don't say that I didn't warn you, backup, backup, backup!!!
