How do I know how many people have visited my site
Web hosting companies will usually provide you with several ways in which to track the performance of your web site. Usually this will be in the form of a report which details how many visitors you have had in a given period, where they arrived at your site from, which pages these people looked at, and how long they looked at them for. Reports such as these will help you fine tune your site, increasing the length of their stay, and hopefully spending more time and money on your site. Things like this will also help you with maintenance, and can help improve your performance within search engines.
