Web Analytics

Compete.com is a new Web Analytics tool that I really like which allows you to measure your competitors traffic. Until recently though, I was not aware of its limitations for Canadian websites. I think you will be as disappointed as I am to learn that compete.com is not capable of evaluating site’s traffic for multi-level domains, such as .bc.ca or qc.ca, which we are all familiar with in Canada. I have also been informed from a Company rep that the tool only tracks traffic from U.S. internet browser population, which is also a major drawback.

Therefore, if you try to assess a Canadian site’s traffic with most of the traffic naturally coming Canada, the results might be distorted. Apparently, they are aware of the issue of reporting on multi-level domains and they are working towards a solution. I am hoping they will include Canadian users population in the next version as well. Don’t you worry, I will keep you in the loop as soon as I hear more about it.

Here is an international example between HelloBC.com and BonjourQuebec.com, 2 similar sites in scope and purpose

Most Web analytics tools such as Google Analytics provides anonymous web traffic information. You know where your visitors are coming from, what kind of keywords they use, how much time they spent on your site, which search engines they used and so on. This information is useful and you can keep track of your traffic progression over time. That’s great. But, what if you would know which companies are visiting your site? Your site traffic would then become a fantastic lead generator and you would be able to phone the people who just visited your website, in real time. I (We) just found that company (thanks to James Sherrett for the find). They are DomoDomain.com.

Here is the DomoDomain tool description:
Domodomain turns your Ad Campaigns and your website into a lead generation machine by automatically capturing detailed information about business visitors, in real time and without visitor registration. Domodomain transforms otherwise “invisible” website clicks into actionable sales and marketing intelligence with no software to install. Domodomain transforms the concept of Web Analytics, from a statistical analysis tool into a window onto visitor browsing experience, generating intuitive and useful information for sales and marketing teams.

I signed up for a 30-day free trial this morning and I must say that I am really impressed about the quality of the information I received so far. If you are already engaged in any form of web promotion, I highly recommend that you try this tool. Yesterday, I knew there were between 50-100 people who visited my site. Now I know who these people are. A picture is worth a thousands words

Here are my leads for today:

DomoDomain also provides a dashboard with similar information that you would find in a typical Web Analytics software. The implementation of the tool is a very easy and short process. Give it a try. If you want more information on how you can turn your site into a lead generator machine, feel free to communicate with Joshua M. Gold, Esq. at joshua{at}domodomain.com. He is a really nice guy who speaks French and English.
