Straight out of the hive is 103 Bees, an analytics tool that focuses on organic search engine traffic. This free online application delivers metrics that web masters can use to build traffic from search engines by increasing their rankings and discovering keywords. If you want to learn more about how you can optimize your site for search engines to boost traffic, then using this application will be as sweet as honey.
103 Bees lets you view the latest search terms used to find your site, along with ranking and landing page information for each term. The Related Keywords tool also displays related keywords for each search query, allowing you to broaden your keyword list. Users can also find out the search engines that deliver the most traffic to their sites. 103 Bees also contains colorful graphs that display your search engine traffic metrics visually. One graph helps you differentiate between your most popular keywords and “long tail” keywords. Another graph compares traffic from search engines with traffic from site referrals and paid advertising. All these tools are undeniably useful for SEO planning.
Users need to have minimal knowledge of HTML to paste the JavaScript code on their site. Don’t worry if you’re unsure about where to paste the code - the 103 Bees site contains a short guide on how to do this.
The 103 Bees site runs on most web browsers and their analytics service is free for sites that have less than 100,000 visitors per month.
