14. Tales From the Real World Web sites are somewhat of a status symbol in the real world, with organizations scrambling just to get something—anything—online, so they can claim they have a web presence.

19. Insight: Monitoring A Website Most organizations track the number of hits on their site. This practice is good, but more important is the number of unique visits in a designated time period. Other tracking information includes how people get to the site (where they are coming from), what they do once they get to the site, how long they stay around, and what features of the site are getting the most use. Webmasters can also monitor what keywords people are typing in to find the site in order to make the links with those keyword clusters even stronger.
