Why track traffic to your website? By the way, we're not talking about having a cheesy view counter display on your homepage. No, this is about business.
So here's why you should do it:
-You can evaluate the effectiveness of your marketing efforts. The perfect example is Kathryn who posted a press release on the net and was able to track how much traffic it brought to her site. By the way, she uses this company and really likes it:

-You need to know where your traffic is coming from and why. Is your internet marketing working or not? Which methods are more effective? Tracking will give you that info.
-You need to know what users like and don't like about your website.

I am back up and running! New computer is on order but i have all my files in front of me, whew-that was close. Your new mantra should be 'backup, backup' - saved my sanity it did.
Greg - i never know where on the blog to look for any questions posed specifically to me, any advice? You are our blog-master!
glad to hear all your work is safe. i had a similar thing happen to me, and i went to buy an external hard drive right away to back up my files.
as for when questions come up for you, i could title a post 'questions for maria.' that way, you would just have to look for that post title. does that work for you?
