Hi Trish,

We are offering a similar subscription 3rd party app that shows current and active visitors/members online, it's currently in beta. We will also have a version for this which logs daily visitors on our future release.

So what you are telling me  there is no app on NING that logs my visitors for me?

Hey, Trish. You could pay Ron for his services. Or you could set up Google Analytics. It's free. I use it and can see traffic here on Creators.

I have one more question guys, "what do you think about search engine marketing"

Register.com offers this service as a monthly fee - not cheap - but they will list my site on all the engines-is this worth it?

[Trish White]

Thank you Eric, but I went on Google - I have an account but saw no where on the site which explained how I can put up analytics - I saw where you could add different buttons and badges etc. but no explanation to add analytics - 

Head banger!!!

Hi Eric,

I have been exploring google analytics and discovered that I do have an account - yet it doesn't give me much information - as a matter of fact it says I have no visitors - yet I am running a very active site everyday with over 1,000 members - something is up and I don't know how to solve my problem.

At least I have the account - thats a step in the right direction! now can you come to New York???????

You'll need to make sure you enter your Google Analytics number into your code.

Eric,

I dont understand your comment - I have the account - so please explain to me what you are saying about where I enter my Google Analytics number into my code - your answer is very cryptic as I already have an account set up and I don't know where to go after that. Who should I ask on NING to help me?

Woopra is also good. I use it in tandem with GA.
