What Reports don't tell you

Let me squash a myth before we go any further: contrary to common belief, Reports, or any other web analytics package for that matter, doesn't offer a prescription to propel your website to the very top of all search results, nor does it prescribe the magic pill that would compel people all over the world to ditch their favorite websites and flock to yours.

I'm sure you'd be overjoyed to receive a bulleted list from Reports every morning that goes something like this:

  • Add five more pages to your site with such-and-such content; that's what people are looking for.
  • Change the background color of your web pages to light blue and change the font from Verdana to Georgia. That should attract 63 additional visitors every day!
  • The third word on the 24th line of the Services page is spelt promtp. It should be prompt. By the way, the copy on the Services page is just pitiful. Replace it with this: [new copy here]. Not only will this increase traffic by 11%, your visitors will start clicking on the AdSense ads on the web page as well.

Unfortunately, Reports can't generate such a list. They merely present site statistics in an easy-to-understand format. What you do with those numbers is entirely up to you.
