Analyze Yesterday’s Traffic Sources (Mini Challenges for Marketers)

So, understanding where your website traffic comes from is crucial for refining your marketing strategy. By analyzing yesterday’s traffic sources, you gain valuable insights into which channels are driving the most visitors and, more importantly, which ones are delivering the highest quality leads or conversions.

Start by reviewing your analytics dashboard—Google Analytics is a popular tool for this—and identify the top referrer for the day. This could be a search engine, social media platform, email campaign, or direct traffic.

Once you’ve pinpointed the top referrer, dig deeper into the data. Examine the behavior of the visitors from this source. Are they spending a lot of time on your site? Are they visiting multiple pages?

Are they converting into leads or sales? Understanding these metrics will help you assess the quality of the traffic and the effectiveness of the referrer. This analysis isn’t just about numbers; it’s about patterns.

If a particular source consistently drives valuable traffic, it’s a sign that your efforts in that channel are paying off, and you may want to allocate more resources to it. Conversely, if a referrer is bringing in traffic that doesn’t engage or convert, it might be time to reconsider your approach in that channel. Regularly analyzing your traffic sources allows you to make informed decisions, optimize your marketing efforts, and ultimately, drive better results.

By coincedence, I was just checking if my traffic went up again to my africa site, because I have been creating some ads on Facebook again, and I noticed a lot of bot traffic from China/ukraine, etc.

Had a chat with chatgpt about that first, a lot of blalblabla, to be honest, came out of that, lol, but I did contact wpx's hosting if they can block those bots.

I think it's probably better to get rid of them from my stats, if I want to reapply for Journey.

This was their response, and now I'm even more confused hahaha

" Hi Lizzy,

Thank you for reaching out.

If you would like to block the traffic for a specific country, your website needs to be pointed to our XDN.

We can then escalate to our System administrators for further review and advise if that would be possible.

Please let me know if I can help with anything else."

If anyone could tell me if I should fix this or not, cause I can imagine lots of sites having this issue anyway. thanks:-)

I can't advise you on what to do, but here is an explanation from WPX, as to what their XDN does. https://wpx.net/kb/wpx-xdn-why-does-your-website-need-it/
