Every 3 months or 5,000 miles without fail I take my truck to get its oil changed and to make sure that everything is running smoothly. In fact I just can’t help myself I will rearrange everything to make sure that I take my truck in to get its regular service. My brother is no different with his car. I think that maybe its because our dad was so crystal clear on the fact that we had to make sure to take care of our vehicles so that they could take care of us on the road. Dad taught us to make sure all the fluids were at the proper levels; the tires at the right pressure, and that all the lights were in working condition.

So why don’t we take time to make sure that our websites and blogs are running correctly? How come we just put them up and forget about them? You should always make regular checks on your website and blog to make sure that they are operating at the optimum level for peak performance. What do you check if you have never had to check your own website before? Like our dad taught us how to change our oil, check the oil, and make sure everything was in working order we are going to teach you a few things that you need to check. Rest assured if you have never done it before we offer a free 20 minute website tune-up where we can go over the items you need to check on your website.

What are the items that you absolutely have to check on your website or blog? Here is list of must have items to check.

• How many unique visitors are coming to your site - this number should be going up if you are adding content, doing real estate pay per click, and adding your website to directories. If it isn’t you have a problem.
• How many leads are you getting - this is a number you want to track every single month. You want to see that your efforts are paying off in increased leads. Check to make sure all of your contact forms are working.
• What are your most popular pages - knowing what people like is important because if you have pages they like you can write similar pages or modify those pages so they visit other portions of your website or visit other posts on your blog.
• Who is sending you traffic - knowing who sends you the most traffic allows you to send them a thank you e-mail or post about them so they can see a little return for the traffic they are sending you.

Keep in mind that you can use free tools such as Google Analytics to track these items for you in an easy to use dashboard format. There are other great tools out there to track results but this one is free and very easy to use and implement.
