Web Traffic Analyzer
Analyzing your web traffic statistics can be an invaluable tool for a number of different reasons. But before you can make full use of this tool, you need to understand how to interpret the data.Most web hosting companies will provide you with basic web traffic information that you then have to interpret and make pertinent use of. However, the data you receive from your host company can be overwhelming if you don't understand how to apply it to your particular business and website. Let's start by examining the most basic data - the average visitors to your site on a daily, weekly, andmonthly basis.These figures are the most accurate measure of your website's activity. It would appear on the surface that the more traffic you see recorded, the better you can assume your website is doing, but this is an inaccurate perception. You must also look at the behavior of your visitors once they come to your website to accurately gauge the effectiveness of your site.There is often a great misconception about what is commonly known as "hits" and what is really effective, quality traffic to your site. Hits simply means the number of information requests received by the server. If you think about the fact that a hit can simply equate to the number of graphics per page, you will get an idea of how overblown the concept of hits can be. For example, if your homepagehas 15 graphics on it, the server records this as 15 hits, when in reality we are talking about a single visitor checking out a single page on your site. As you can see, hits are not useful in analyzing your website traffic.The more visitors that come to your website, the more accurate your interpretation will become. The greater the traffic is to your website, the more precise your analysis will be of overall trends in visitor behavior. The smaller the number of visitors, the more a few anomalous visitors can distort the analysis. The aim is to use the web traffic statistics to figure out how well or how poorly your site is working for your visitors. One way to determine this is to find out how long on average your visitors spend on your site. If the time spent is relatively brief, it usually indicates an underlying problem. Then the challenge is to figure out what that problem is.It could be that your keywords are directing the wrong type of visitors to your website, or that your graphics are confusing or intimidating, causing the visitor to exit rapidly. Use the knowledge of how much time visitors are spending on your site to pinpoint specific problems, and after you fix those problems, continue to use time spent as a gauge of how effective your fix has been.Additionally, web traffic stats can help you determine effective and ineffective areas of your website. If you have a page that you believe is important, but visitors are exiting it rapidly, that page needs attention. You could, for example, consider improving the link to this page by making the link more noticeable and enticing, or you could improve the look of the page or the ease that your visitorscan access the necessary information on that page.If, on the other hand, you notice that visitors are spending a lot of time on pages that you think are less important, you might consider moving some of your sales copy and marketing focus to that particular page.As you can see, these statistics will reveal vital information about the effectiveness of individual pages, and visitor habits and motivation. This is essential information to any successful Internet marketing campaign.Some websites have exit pages, such as a final order or contact form. This is a page you can expect your visitor to exit rapidly. However, not every visitor to your site is going to find exactly what he or she is looking for, so statistics may show you a number of different exit pages. This is normal unless you notice a exit trend on a particular page that is not intended as an exit page. In the case that a significant percentage of visitors are exiting your website on a page not designed for that purpose, you must closely examine that particular page to discern what the problem is. Once you pinpoint potential weaknesses on that page, minor modifications in content or graphic may have a significant impact on the keeping visitors moving through your site instead of exiting at the wrong page.After you have analyzed your visitor statistics, it's time to turn to your keywords and phrases. Notice if particular keywords are directing a specific type of visitor to your site. The more targeted the visitor - meaning that they find what they are looking for on your site, and even better, fill out your contact form or make a purchase - the more valuable that keyword is.However, if you find a large number of visitors are being directed - or should I say misdirected - to your site by a particular keyword or phrase, that keyword demands adjustment. Keywords are vital to bringing quality visitors to your site who are ready to do business with you. Close analysis of the keywords your visitors are using to find your site will give you a vital understanding of your visitor's needs and motivations.Finally, if you notice that users are finding your website by typing in your company name, break open the champagne! It means you have achieved a significant level of brand recognition, and this is a sure sign of burgeoning success.
Effects of Ringgit De-Peg on Property Market
So now our currency the ringgit has been de-peg. Most Malaysians should be buoyant about the rising value, somewhat akin to the pre-financial crisis days of the early 90’s.
Some observers had immediately mentioned the obvious benefits – cheaper imported vehicles, less to pay of overseas education, more frequent holidays abroad and savings for local importers.
The downside – the exporters and plantation sector will be hit by this turn of events.
But what tidings for the property and construction sector?
Most market analysts have yet to released an in-depth study of the long term implications. But in a nutshell, a few negative consequences can be foreseen.
Foreigners have to pay more – The government has been promoting ‘Malaysia My Second Home’ recently. But due to the de-peg, foreigners now pay more, thus making property investing in Malaysia less attractive. Although the FIC has relaxed some of the rulings of late, I believe Malaysia may lose some of its competitive edge in this sector. Many high-end condominium projects are heavily marketed to Singaporeans, Hong Kong residents and Australians.
Cost of construction to increase – The property and construction industries are strongly intertwined. It is also a known fact that the Malaysian construction industry relies heavily of imported materials from overseas, like steel coil, heavy machineries, lift equipment, construction plant, extruded metals, etc. Higher construction costs means higher property prices. However if the ringgit gets stronger against the exporting companies’ currency, then the cost will be slightly reduced.
Malaysian companies overseas – the Malaysian economy is well supported by a number of construction companies operating in countries like India, Vietnam, China and Indonesia. The de-peg has in actual fact reduce the value of the contract agreed upon, and thereby making it harder for our companies to maintain profits. As always in construction tender, profit margins are known to be paper thin. And these projects are very susceptible to huge overhead of operating outside the country.
However, most industry players say that it’s not all bad news. The overall knock on effect of the improving currency value will bound to improve the property market. How much, however, remains to be seen.

Property-Deciding on Your Market
Quoted from the book called Property Ladder by Sarah Beeny. The tagline said “How to Make $$$ from Property” (they actually used the pound symbol, as it was a British publication).
This is the summary of the section called ‘Deciding on Your Market’:
‘The market for buying or renting properties can generally be split into the following categories. Their relative important will vary depending on the area. To work out which sector of the market you should be targeting your property towards study the market descriptions below. You should also check out the local amenities to see who the shops and services are gearedto and bear this in mind to help you identify the market.’
The Market (summarized)
Students – ideal rental market, near college/university, don’t expect top qualityYoung professionals – first-time buyers or professional rental sharers, comfortable surroundings, decent-sized rooms, good transport links.
Older professionals – second-time buyers, expect high quality finishes and an eye for designYoung couples – house buyers, kitchen and garden important, near schools and amenities.
Growing families – house buyers, plenty of separated living space, large garden, established residential area
Downsizing households – smaller home, bungalows popular, comfortable surroundings, low-maintenance.
‘The key is to appeal to as many of these market categories as possible. The greater the number of these different groups interested the more likely you’ll be to get the sale at the price you want. The ideal situation is to have two or more interested buyers – you have a greater chance of achieving your asking price and getting a speedy sale.’
