Background
We operate the site www.beautifulaccommodation.com
We feature around 500+ accommodation options on our site, each of
which has their own page on our site, located in the root directory
(see one example at www.beautifulaccommodation.com/honeyeater.html)
Aim
We are seeking a web stats service that will allow us to report
periodically (weekly AND monthly, preferably) to each property
individually on the number of unique visitors have viewed their page.
Other stats including country of origin etc would be a bonus.
The Challenge
We need a service that can:
(a) Track each page as a separate entity and report to each
accommodation owner as an individual (not show site-wide stats)
(b) We tend to favour cookie-based services that measure unique
visitors (as opposed to log file analysis) but are open to
suggestions.
(c) offer an automated system to email the report to the property (OR
email a reminder for them to log into a page to view the data but we
would prefer just to email them to save them the extra step);
(d) It needs to be a cost-effective solution (we don?t mind paying,
but from few services we have looked at, it would require individual
accounts and this becomes very expensive for 500+ properties);
(e) It needs to be a service that is free of advertising
Conclusion
There are thousands of sites like ours on the net that represent a
range of accommodation (or whatever) that must want to report to their
clients on the performance of their own listing so we are sure there
must be services out there to help!
Successful Outcome of the Google Answers Project
We would consider this Google Answers request to have been
successfully answered by the referral to us of service(s) that
directly fulfil the criteria set out above (as opposed to a service
that offer stats reporting but cannot fulfil our requirements for
individual reports for individual pages, sent to individual clients
directly). |
