Either you’re newbie or seasoned webmaster, getting tonnes of traffic to you website is your utmost priority. You’ll realized the importance of traffic to the website you’re building or managing over the years, to the point that determine your website survival on the net. Getting traffic is one thing, and to determine how much traffic required to be the authority on the area your website focusing into is another thing. With millions of website out there nowadays, climbing to that rank is no longer an easy task. Just forget 1 man show website, it won’t be there. Why?

1 million unique visitors permonth is not sufficient to push website to be on top 1000 websites on earth. At least 4.1 millions unique visitors are required to get there…  yes 4 millions plus my friend according to the study conducted Pingdom.com. That’s a lot lot of visitors you need to have. Giving the fact that more users are now online from all over the world, that number not going to just stay there, it will surely increase over the years.

So the stat is there, you know what it takes to be there. To be the top website on earth, you need 450 millions visitor permonth, and you have to beat Facebook for that corwn. So here is the stats. Hit the source link below to know more, including the charts.

  • To become a top 1,000 website you need at least 4.1 million visitors per month.
  • To become a top 500 website you need at least 7.4 million visitors per month.
  • To become a top 100 website you need at least 22 million visitors per month.
  • To become a top 50 website you need at least 41 million visitors per month.
  • To become a top 10 website you need at least 230 million visitors per month.
  • To become the number 1 website in the world? Then you need more than 540 million visitors per month. (Good luck with that.)

Impressed With Google F1 Result Query

gp malaysia fi result Impressed With Google F1 Result Query

OK, now I’m impressed!! How brilliant Google Search it is.  Or to be more accurate, kudos to engineers who had engineered this stuff.

Well, I’m looking for GP Malaysia F1 result, and just by querying ‘F1‘ as the key-phrase, Google Search lists the driver standing directly on the query page result on the spot, without even needs me to browse the website. That’s  genius one, Google!

It seems that it can read my mind, erm. Sorry  if this looks outdated to some of you, but I can’t just let it slip out of my radar.  Btw, so there you go my first post after 1 week in ‘hibernation’ mode.

Google Analytics Master Class KL Malaysia (GAMC KL)

It’s been 2 days past since the Google Analytics Master Class Malaysia held in Hilton Kl Sentral, but only today I can squeeze some time to have this post published. Blame iPad & iPod Touch that steal most of my time off.

Google is massive brand in this world. Being the first timer to Google event at this scale, I would say that I’m very much lucky to be there. Unlike in the US, it is once in a while that Google organizing event in this part of the world.

I myself have been tracking my websites using Analytics since 2007. Unfortunately, it is mostly to track statistic, keywords, popular contents and Google Adsense revenue only.  Google Analytics is beyond all those things, which is even small statistic tracking website can offer. Analytics’s sophisticated feature are capable of providing an insight of your website based on the data collected over the time. And that’s what this courses main objective is. It’s not over exaggerate to say that your website’s data is your goldmine.

With overwhelming respond to this course, I hope to see Googlel organizing the same course but with more advance content next year. If you’re webmaster, advertiser, ecommerce developer , entrepreneur, this is your chance to improve what you have not so successful before by using Analytics. Watch this space to stay up to date with any events that going to happen in this region.

Here are some photos taken during the events, enjoy!
