	This area will allow you to take a look at the visitor statistics for your website in detail via our collected server side data. Please note that this will not track any activity while you are logged into your account - these are strictly external page statistics!

	Statistics are now more accurate because bots and spiders will no longer be calculated into hits/visits. The overall statistics will seem lower than if this were not the case, but will be considerably more accurate.

	The information you see when first visiting this area is the '''Overview''' section displaying ''Page Views'' and ''Site Visits''. Page Views display the number of times individual pages have been viewed. Site Visits report how many times people have viewed your website.

	~~====Where to Find:====~~

	~~This area can be found in the "My Website" section of the [[Toolbar]].~~


	~~====Other~~ Statistics~~:====~~

	In addition to the information shown on the Overview page, you can also take a more detailed look at your Page Views by clicking on the '''Page Views''' tab. This will allow you to take a closer look at your Page views for a shorter time period with a '''Daily Breakdown''' to show you Page Views and Site Visits by the day.

	~~You can find out what your '''Top Pages''' are by clicking the "Top Pages" tab.~~

	~~[[Image:Statstoppages.PNG]]~~


	'''Entry Visits''' refer to the entry page for a visit to your website, so if a visitor comes to your ''/about'' page via a Google search, then to your ''/'' (home) page that's 1 visit, 2 '''Page Views''' (one for each page) and the Entry Visit would be tracked on ''/about''. The above screenshot shows what this area will look like in this scenario. This statistic is intended to helps you see where people are coming to initially when visiting your site.



	~~Finally, you can view referring information to find out where your visitors are coming from!~~

	~~For example, if a visitor finds your site via a Google search, you will see this address as the '''Referring URL''' as well as the page they were linked to specifically.~~

	~~This is helpful in determining the effectiveness of an advertising campaign, or when your site has been indexed by certain search engines.~~


	~~====I Need More Statistics!====~~

	Need further depth for website statistics? Our statistics are meant as a good source for the common user to determine when and where their page views are occurring, however in some cases other members may require more detail. In this case, we ask that you configure [http://www.google.com/analytics/ Google Analytics] with your site.
