1. Install Google Analytics: View visitors in real time

Why use Google Analytics?

• Free and powerful

• It can accurately track visitor sources, behaviors, and interests.

• Supports real-time viewing of visitor activity.

Installation steps (even beginners can learn)

1. Register a Google Analytics account

2. Add your independent website and generate tracking code.

3. Paste the code into the website's <head> ` tag.

4. Once you're in the backend, click "Real-time > Overview" to see real-time visitor statistics.

Practical skills

• Pay attention to visitor sources: search engines, social media platforms, direct access

• Pay attention to real-time visitor numbers and dwell time. If visitors from a particular channel have a short dwell time, it indicates that the content is not engaging enough.

• Determine page attractiveness by combining bounce rate.

2. Examine the source channel: Which channel has the best traffic generation effect?

In Google Analytics or the AB Guest backend, you can see the source channels:

• Search Engine Optimization (SEO) : Visitors enter through search engines such as Google and Bing.

• Social : From WeChat, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.

• Direct access : Enter the URL directly or bookmark it to access the website.

Tip:

• Traffic from search engines typically has a high conversion rate, but requires continuous SEO optimization.

• Social media traffic is flexible, but it requires coordinated content and activities.

• Direct access indicates that your brand or advertisement has a certain level of recognition.

We can directly see the source of visitors:
