    As a wedding services provider I have listings on other sites. I get some leads, but no business. When I tried to find out about traffic statistics, I couldn’t get traffic information for my services through the sites. Traffic stats should help me target my promotions. What could I do?

    Think about the customers who buy your wedding services. Are they local, regional, farther? This information can help you create a marketing plan you can control instead of relying on a linking site that doesn’t appear to get you known. What are your thoughts readers?

    Getting traffic hasn’t been a problem. But it takes me so much time trying to get people to come back to my site. Is there something I can do that won’t take me a lot of time?

    Methodblogger readers, what advice can you give Pat?

    Hey, you’re a voice of reason in the swirl of traffic stats. I found that by concentrating on how visitors got to my company’s site gave me a way to show my supervisor how we could shift a few dollars we wouldn’t have thought to do otherwise. Keep up the good work!
