Bay Area Web Designer Marissa Berger Presents Five Ways to Track the Success of a Website

Concord, CA (PRWEB) November 17, 2011

Marissa Berger, founder of Marissa Berger Interactive (mb/i), a San Francisco Bay Area web design firm, presents in her blog five quick tracking mechanisms which can be used to monitor a websites performance:

1) Unique E-mail Address: This can easily identify the lead source of e-mail inquiries. Instead of using info@ for everything, determine which sources are important and give them unique email addresses. They can all forward to the main address for ease of use.

2) Unique Phone Number: It is now easier to own multiple phone numbers with Google Voice, Vonage, etc. The same concept applies as with e-mail addresses; identify what is important to track and put those numbers (and the appropriate voicemail messages) in place.

3) Unique URLs: Use the Content Management System (CMS) available on the website to create new pages and assign unique URLs. The unique URLs can later be used to track the traffic of any kind of marketing performed online or offline.

4) Forms: If applicable, capture visitors information when giving out downloadable items or complimentary services. Give each form a different source name to keep track which items or services are more popular.

5) Google Analytics: This is a free service which provides a great deal of data on how the site is being used. Site owners and managers can make educated marketing decisions based on this data. Web developers can offer assistance on interpreting the results.

Give your website a chance. Put tracking mechanisms in place and learn about your online audience, says Berger.

By developing an approachable interface between the Expert and the Consumer, information is passed on in a manner that is easier to comprehend and to incorporate into activities of daily living.

Given how complex health and wellness issues can be, the focus of be is to address this problem by providing information from physicians, nutritionists, personal trainers, yoga instructors, and other health and wellness practitioners in an integrated and personable manner.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) February 19, 2007

Classes in Town, a national web-based company headquartered in Austin, TX, announced the official launch of its website, http://austin.classesintown.com. The Austin-centric site is the first of a planned national network of websites. The Classes in Town, Austin site provides a free and local online resource for educational providers to list classes, courses, seminars, trainings and workshops. The site will be replicated in other major cities across the country as a one-stop online source for listing and finding classes.

Founded by Steven List, an Austinite and entrepreneur, the family of Classes in Town websites fills an untapped market in the education and training industry. "The country's biggest cities are hotbeds for culture and learning," said List. "In Austin alone, hundreds of workshops and classes are held each month. But, until now, they were hard to find.
