Monitor Your Customers with Web 2.0

Knowing your customers is vital to understanding nearly everything about your business — your product and service offerings, your marketing plan, and your customer service. If you run an online business, there are various tools to help you monitor your customer's activities and help you sell more successfully.

The arrival of Web 2.0 has opened up many new ways that you can monitor how your customers interact with you and when they do it. Advanced web analytics help you track everything from unique visitors and most popular pages to processed and abandoned sales. Google provides an interactive analytics package at an attractive price — free.

How does monitoring web traffic fit into Web 2.0?

Because it allows you to tailor your website to better suit your customers' needs and, hopefully, attract new customers. In a former web world, web stats were used to try and determine which keywords your customers used to find you. Once you had keywords, you could target those keywords aggressively or target new keywords that you hadn't thought of.

However, Web 2.0 brings much more to the table than just simple traffic monitoring. Most importantly, it has revolutionized how you interact with the traffic coming to your site. By focusing on how you can customize a user's experience, you'll be transforming your site into a Web 2.0 mold.

Another great way to take a peak at your customers is to setup a blog.

By publishing a blog, you will get immediate feedback on your posts. Do visitors respond critically? Or do they sing you their praise? Why not use visitor feedback to build your next product or service package? Instead of trying to figure out what your customers want, let them tell you what they want.

Already have a blog? Setup shop on MySpace and FaceBook.

These two sites have tremendous reach and will give you near instantaneous feedback on your products and services. Again, you have to be willing to accept feedback and decide for yourself what amount of feedback warrants a change.
