New at Motigo Webstats: Share your counter

motigo magazine2011-03-25T12:04:39ZWordPresshttp://blog.motigo.com/feed/atommmirosavljevichttp://blog.motigo.com/?p=12242011-03-25T12:04:39Z2009-12-22T12:53:19ZAs you might have realized, we have been quite busy in the last months working on many cool new features for webstats. Now we’d like to make motigo available to even more webmasters in their own language.

We know how important it is for yourself and your visitors to use website tools in your own language making them easier to use and understand. From now all motigo services are also available in Italian. We are now really multilingual and available in six different languages!

The motigo site and service pages are always shown by default in the language of your browser. You can change the language anytime by using the “language” menu on the grey bar at the top of the pages.

If you have any questions you can contact our support team anytime :-)

The live counter updates automatically so there is no need to reload the page to update the numbers. It is displayed to all visitors who have Adobe Flash Player version 9 or newer (which covers 97%-99% of all users). Even if some of your visitors don’t have Adobe Flash Player, there’s no reason to worry – ALL visitors will be registered  :)

Want to get a live counter straightaway? You only have to replace the counter code on your website:

1) Login at Motigo

2) Click on “Webstats” on your account overview

3) Select the counter for which you would like to have a live counter and click on “Show html code”:

show_html_code_en

4) Select the option Live Counter and copy the counter code. Now you only have to replace the counter code on your website with this one and the new live counter will be displayed on your site.

select_code_en

All new counters will get the live counter code as default. If you’d rather have the small webstats icon your page, you only have to select the “Small icon” option to get another code.

Actually a good idea, but there’s a lot of time and effort involved in it. Approximately 150.000 hours are spent every day by users around the world trying to decipher CAPTCHAs. Sometimes they use distorted images like wavy letters or a background with a strong pattern, which makes it difficult for humans to read them too. ReCAPTCHA, which we use on motigo, aims not only to make this easier but also to give this lost time a useful purpose.

reCAPTCHA uses real words instead of the code fragments used by conventional CAPTCHAs. The words used by reCAPTCHA are words, which computers could not read when digitalizing a book. So, when you type a reCAPTCHA, you are actually helping to digitalize a book. Read more on the reCAPTCHA website .

On http://recaptcha.net you get a free key for using the service on your website. In order to use reCAPTCHA, you need a public/private API key pair. This key pair helps to prevent an attack where somebody hosts a reCAPTCHA on their website, collects answers from their visitors and submits the answers to your site.

recaptcha3

To use reCAPTCHA, you only have to add a few lines of code to your website. For detailed instructions on using reCAPTCHA please visit reCAPTCHA’s website.

Page Views and Visits – what is the difference?

Page views is the view of one page in your website – every time a page is loaded, this is considered a Page View. It doesn’t make any difference if it is the same user visiting the page or not.

Visits are the number of individual visits to your website. This statistic is based on recognition of a browser cookie in the visitor’s browser. Therefore, the visitor is not counted again if he has already been visiting the site within the last 24 hours.

You can read more about the difference between Page Views and Unique Visitors here.

Still have questions? You can contact Motigo’s support team anytime!

Write the name of each of the main items (products, topics) of your website on paper cards. Give each user a set of cards ask him to sort them thematically. This will help you find out which topics belong together in the eyes of your users and tells you where they expect to find the information they’re looking for. Use this information to determine the menu and navigation structure of your site.Paper Prototyping helps you test if your site structure makes sense. Draw your website on paper. Do not concentrate on design issues, but only on the structure: How are website pages organized hierarchically and how are they linked to each other? Let your test users perform real tasks with the paper prototypes and watch their reactions. Ask them also for feedback and suggestions.
Interviews to find out more about user-experience. Ask your test persons about one aspect of your website. If you conduct written interviews, it is recommended to use closed questions with predefined answers (yes/no, I agree totally/ I agree partially/ I disagree). If you interview your test users personally, you can use open questions where users can reply freely. Interviews will give you important feedback and will help you look at your website through the eyes of your users.Thinking aloud will give you high quality feedback during testing. Let your test user perform a task and ask him to explain his decisions. What is he doing? Why did he choose this option and not another one? How is he feeling? What is his opinion? Thinking aloud will give you important information about the user’s mental and emotional interaction with your website and can give you many good ideas for improvement.The Five-Second-Test is a fast and easy way to test the functionality of your website. Here, you let your test user perform a certain task again (for example, if you sell products, ask the person to tell you how he would go about buying a certain product). Let the person look 5 seconds at your website without scrolling or clicking on links (you can also use a screenshot). After that, ask the person to tell you what he remembers from the website. This will show you what catches the user’s eye and tells you if your images, titles and banners are sending the right message to the users. On the next step, ask the test person to perform the task. If he has difficulties or takes too long, this means your site is confusing and needs restructuring.]]>13
