Blue Compass: Your Source for Vacation Destinations? - July 21, 2010

Website analytics are a wonderful thing. They allow you to see who is visiting your website, where they are located, how long they stay, what pages they look at, and so much more. We help make sense of these stats in easy-to-read reports for many of our clients, so of course we also follow our own website performance.

 

A great stat to watch is "referring sites" (websites that link to your site) which can be a wonderful source of web traffic. Occasionally we notice visitors sent to us from a site like GolfShoppingGuide.com. Upon closer inspection, it's easy to see why: 

 

 

Many years ago, our website - Bluecompass.com - was actually "the premier electronic marketplace for resort accommodations," offering cabins, condos, inns, and other lodging options to vacationers. 

 

 

We aren't mistaken for a vacation company too often these days, but tracking our web stats cetainly leads to some interesting info.

Advantages of Moblie Sites

Everywhere you turn, you see someone on a mobile device. With an ever-growing mobile browsing market, you would think that most sites would appeal to this new growing audience. But as of  right now, most sites simply use their full site as their mobile site. This might save money, but it loses potential customers quickly.

 

Having an easy to update mobile site will be a key component of future web marketing. "Over the past two years, Google's mobile search volumes have grown more than fivefold, at an accelerated pace. In the first three months of 2010, people with smartphones with "full" WebKit browsers (such as the iPhones, Android devices and Palm Pre) searched 62 percent more than they did in the previous three months," reported Google in May 2010.

 

Need a mobile site? Blue Compass can help. Ask about our current mobile site results - they are astounding!
