Another feature of Visitor Stats 2 that makes it stand out is the ability to separate your products, articles or FAQ's from your normal pages.

Instead of trying to find your products amongst all of your pages, you can easily compare just your products. This means you can find your most popular product (or article, FAQ etc) effortlessly, or compare them against each other.

Compare Articles, FAQ's, Products, Gallery Images and Products in Cart completely separately from normal pages.

In the table above I can see that 6 Articles have been looked at today by 134 visitors, an average of 22 visitors to each Article.

Other information you could gather would be number of Products, and how many Products where added to the cart, so you can see the product uptake, or:

• Products
• Products Added to Cart
• FAQ's
• Articles
• Screenshots images
• Gallery images

Normally you would only see your most 'Popular Pages':

But adding Custom Pages shows you any kind of pages you decide to add:



Such as Articles...

FAQ's...

or Gallery Images...

 

Articles, Products, Products in Cart, Gallery Images, FAQ's are all things I am separating on my own websites, but you could expand this to anything you want.

I have some great examples of Products, Products in Cart but decided not to show them as the products were of an adult nature. Please email me if you want see how you can use Custom Pages to show these type of pages.

Once you have your Products separated, you can compare them to your Most Sold Items

Each page, whether separated as a Custom Page or not, has a profile where you can see how long the page has been active since, number of visitors, entry, exit, averages etc.

As well as all of the visitors to this page:

Just place one line of code above the Visitor Stats 2 include line on the page you want to separate.

The code:

// Visitor Stats 2 $vs_page_type="Article"; include("visitor_stats/visitor_stats.php");

This adds an 'Article' page to your 'Custom Pages' section. Simply change the name of $vs_page_type to whatever you like (see ideas below).

NOTE: The page will still show up in your normal 'Most Popular Pages' section, but will also show up in the 'Custom Pages' section.

Some of the most useful Custom Pages I have used so far have been:

• Products
• Products Added to Cart
• FAQ's
• Articles
• Screenshots images
• Gallery images
