THE ESSENCE OF TAXONOMY SITEMAP

The classification of extraordinary level of information that is currently available in the internet is cited as “taxonomy”. In order to make it readily available to the visitors of the site, it is better to create a taxonomy sitemap. The provision of taxonomy enables the user to find and access information with ease.

In order to attract a wider range of would be customers websites, incorporation of taxonomy sitemap on the website would be beneficial, since the users of website find it difficult or impossible to locate what they are trying to find, despite the availability of abundance of information available in the internet.

More often than not internet search forms show scant results that give a negative impact for the user as well as to the company that is paying money for advertisement. Surfers have to make a second guess at keywords to arrive in the direction of sites to obtain the information.

Low levels of patience and skills to complete their second guessing search, will only make them to give up a particular key related item and move on their search. Eventually web sites devoid of taxonomy sitemap will have to face loss of revenue.

Since the beneficiary of the sitemap taxonomy is the users who utilize the contents, the website concerned should bear in mind about the needs of the surfers.

The inception of sitemap taxonomy entails a trial and error method operation. When putting together sitemap taxonomy keyword terms are of essence, since wrong keywords will result in the user not being able to find what they are looking for.

There are several important factors that have to be taken into consideration before creating the sitemap taxonomy. Generally; sitemap taxonomy should consist of basic terms that are easy to search for by the user rather than a jumble, which a user may detest

The uniformity of structure makes it easier to navigate the website .Limitations of actual items under use should be a round two to seven or eight subjects.

Continuous fine tuning is essential although costly in terms of time the long terms benefits are immense.

THE ROLE OF WEB ANALYTICS TO WEBSITE OWNER

A web analytic is in essence is a quantum indicator of the behavior of the visitors of website. It is indicative of the performance of the website and from these reports and trends it is possible to implement more effective programs, for enhanced sales.

Web analytics are based on Log files and java script and the third method is the combination of the two whereby more relevant data is obtained.

While the log files of server will log several files for each visit page tagging script will as a whole seen by the visitor.

Unique or new visitors is recognizable by the log file like the time spent on the website and the favorite key word phrase .to arrive at the website and the country of the origin of the visitor, file type etc. Data transfer is recorded is maintained in the log file with precision and by viewing these in web analytics programs viz Webalizer and Awstats which analyse raw log file data in graphics.

While log file is usually available in the server page tagging is an outsourced option where visitor’s data is captured by provider’s remote server. Since page tagging requires
JavaScript to be installed in every web page there is the possibility of the visitor’s not to allow the script to run. Hence a log file has no such hassles. In log files certain parameters hits and page views are not as accurate as page tagging. Log file records visits by search engines where as page script don’t.

Log file web analytic records failed visits too whereas page tagging takes into account only when a web page is displayed.

To critically analyze the strength and weaknesses of the web site the feedback provided by the web analytics of visitor is invaluable. From these data it is possible find which pages are visited most and which key words are most related to the web site concerned.
