    10 Creativity Tips for Writing Your Speech
    “Creativity is the ability to see beyond the obvious, shift perspectives, and explore ideas in new ways.” Joan C. King, Ph.D, author of Cellular WisdomThe worst speaking experience I ever had was in front of 450 witnesses. What made it memorable, for all the wrong reasons, was that I was out of control. It took me forty minutes to cover my first 20 minutes of material.

    Basically two options are available to you and these are: using a log analysis package or subscribing to a remotely hosted trafficlogging service. A remotely hosted traffic logging service may be easy to use and is generally the cheaper option of the two. In fact, you can get a powerful free tracking tool at: StatCounter.com. Other reliable tracking programs include WebTrends.com and HitsLink.com. These services do not use your log files. Typically a small section of code is placed on any page you want to track. When the page is viewed, information is stored on the remote server and available in real time to view in charts and tables form.

    A good traffic logging service provides detailed statistics pertaining to the following:

    • How many people visit your site?

    • Where are they from?

    • How are visitors finding your site?

    • What traffic is coming from search engines, links from other sites, and other sources?

    • What keyword search phrases are they using to find your site?

    • What pages are frequented the most - what information are visitors most interested in?

    • How do visitors navigate within your web site?

    Knowing the answers to these and other fundamental questions is essential for making informed decisions that maximize the return on
    investment (ROI) of your website investment.

    The most important aspect of tracking visitors to your website is analyzing all the statistics you get from your tracking software. The three main statistics that will show your overall progress are hits, visitors and page views. Hits are tracked when any picture or page loads from your server on to a visitor'ss browser. Hits, however, can be very misleading. It is quite an irrelevant statistic for your website.

    The statistic that is probably the most important for a website is Page Views
