General Site Statistics and Analytics

Adding a tracking code to your site helps you track detailed statistics about the visitors to your site. Having this information can help you make informed site design improvements and drive targeted traffic (Web Analytics on Wikipedia).

We recommend using Google Analytics (http://www.google.com/analytics/), unique visits, traffic sources, highest hit content and click tracking (where are your users clicking). Google will provide a snippet of code to paste into our system.

Tracking RSS and Podcast Subscribers

Amplify Websites itself does not track feed subscribers, but by using services like Feedburner (http://www.feedburner.com/), it is possible to track subscriber counts and other information. Services like Feedburner can be helpful for all types of content feeds: blogs, audio podcasts, and video podcasts alike.
