4 Tools I Recommed In Monitoring Your Website’s Traffic & Popularity
Last week, I blog about using social bookmarking to increase your website’s traffic, Today I would like to follow up on that and provide some tools that you can use to monitor your website’s traffic and popularity. There are different ways you can measure the popularity of your website and each tool caters to different needs. Personally here are the 4 tools that I like to use, of course there are more such as Quantcast, Compete, FeedCompare etc. but I believe the 4 tools here can provide you with a good measurement.
- Alexa – the most popular traffic ranking source, and you can look up page views and reach.
- Yahoo! Site Explorer – This provides a more detail inspection of your site. It ranks your site’s popularity based on how many web pages are linked to them with their “Inlinks” features.
- Technorati Blogging Central – As blogging is more and more popular, Technorati a leading blog search engine tells you how popular your blog is by the number of links that links to your blog.
- TweetVolume – Since Twitter is getting more popular, TweetVolume allow you to find out how many tweets have mentioned your search terms.
Let me know if you are using the tools listed above and how you are finding it. If you would like to mention others that are not here, feel free to do so and tell us a brief description and how it has helped you in monitoring your website’s traffic.

Another idea is to use a tool to check whether the website is even available. There are low-cost external monintoring services that can help determine whether end user’s are able to connect. One such tool is Dotcom-Monitor, located at http://www.dotcom-monitor.com.
