Internet marketers are one of the most metric obsessed groups of people in the world and that’s a fact.  For good reason too, because using website statistics to monitor the performance of your membership software is one of the most effective ways to see where people are coming from, where they are going and how they are leaving.

As a result, membership software and website statistics should be seen as pretty much essential.  The good news is, website statistics are actually free, and this means – all you need to do is figure out what the terminology means and then apply it to your membership software.

Website statistics are essential for effective marketing, because without them you really cannot market your membership software.  The best packages are even able to integrate with CPC and PPC ads so you know exactly what ads are performing, and you can follow the visitors trail all the way through the membership software until they actually buy a subscription.

Websites statistics are not just a metric to help you boost visitors to your site, but they are also a way for you to look at the sites quality.  One very important statistic included in website statistics software is known as the bounce rate.

The bounce rate is when visitors browse to your site and membership software, then immediately leave.  Often this can be a clear indicator that your site or membership software is not working.

Website statistics are no longer tools for geeks, but highly functional, easy to use pieces of web based software.  One of the best packages currently on the market is Google Analytics.

Google analytics works well because it is one of the best analytics tools out there, due to not only the way it records information about your membership software, but also the way it delivers it in an easy to use and understand format.
