A website’s value could mean many different things depending on the owner’s goals. The website may strive to promote a cause or an opinion of the webmaster. Also a website’s value may be dependent on how profitable it is to the owner. Either way the best determination of value depends on how many subscribers or visitors you have coming to your site. So we can see that by increasing web site traffic we will be able to increase our web site’s value.
First off do you even know your website’s value? Do you know how many visitors come to your website daily or monthly? How long do they stay or where do they go after leaving your website? These are among many of the questions that go into determining a web site’s value. Google Analysis is a great place to break most of that down and you can spend all day getting reports in any form you want. I use Google Analytics every day for my sites and I highly recommend it. If you just want to see a quick breakdown of your site’s value I recommend you go to SiteLogr which will not only give you a quick look at the value but you can enter your competition’s site and compare. Try both of them out and include them in your arsenal of tools.
Building more traffic to your website includes such things as obtaining backlinks, posting to forums, and participating in other forms of SEO and that is covered throughout this site. But again I stress that you should use the tools I’ve suggested earlier in the post to determine your website value and visit them every day to see how your work is helping raise the values.
