Every website has a control panel. Most site owners do not know how to access
this vital component of your legal website. This article is accompanied with a
video tutorial to show you how simple it is to use your control panel to see
your traffic and more importantly, discover where they were just before entering
your site.
For legal sites, many will contact you by phone, but it still pays to know how
to access your control panel to measure your traffic and determine where
visitors were, just prior to entering your law firm's website.
Whether putting out a direct mail piece, a TV spot or newspaper ad, to assess
effectiveness of driving traffic, you must access your control panel stats. To
do this, you usually add an extension to your URL and a security screen will
appear for your user name and password. If you do not have this information,
your webmaster can supply it.
This is imperative to ensuring that your legal website is effective in bringing
traffic to your law firm’s site. Without enough traffic, you will not be
obtaining the maximum benefit from the Internet.
Keep in mind, if done the right way, many law firms have found the Internet to
be their most cost effective media investment. We had one Los Angeles law firm
release their expensive Yellow Pages ads in favor of our directories and their
own sites. They calculated the cost to secure new clients through the Internet
to be much more than the phone book.
Having knowledge about your legal website traffic stats is very easy. Just a few
minutes viewing our video tutorial should put you well on your way to moving
your website to the next level in performance.
Depending on your bandwidth there may be a few pauses in the video as it loads
different segments. If you want to pause or replay the video, use the controls
