With site analysis added to its mobile analytics service, Bango now provides the two metrics metrics Managed care A popular term for standards by which the quality of a product, service, or outcome of a particular form of Pt management is evaluated. See TQM.  most sought after by website owners: the number of unique visitors and conversion rates from mobile marketing campaigns.

Results of a recent survey of more than 550 mobile website owners, commissioned by Bango, showed that the "most important" data point for them is unique visitor count. Respondents In the context of marketing research, a representative sample drawn from a larger population of people from whom information is collected and used to develop or confirm marketing strategy.  gave the following answers to the question: "Which of the following mobile web metrics are important to you?"

* The daily/weekly/monthly number of unique visitors to your mobile website - 80%

* Conversion rates/effectiveness of mobile marketing - 71%

* New/repeat visitors - 58%

* Information about the handsets your visitors use - 54%

* Location - 50%

* The mobile networks used by visitors to your mobile website - 41%

To provide the highest levels of accuracy, Bango provides two different techniques for capturing mobile metrics - link tracking for campaign analysis and page tracking for site analysis.

The new site analysis feature is easy to implement - one line of html code is placed in each page to be tracked without the need to install anything on the server. A site summary report provides a high level view on the key metrics for a mobile website, including unique visitor numbers so it's easy to see how the mobile site is performing.

Bango Analytics operates as a hosted service, allowing mobile website owners anywhere in the world to connect their sites to the Analytics service in minutes and start getting results free of charge for up to 100,000 page visits per month. Try it at www.bango.com/analytics.

    How it's done

    Capturing an accurate picture of the number of unique visitors is more complex on mobile than on the PC web. Cookies aren't reliable on mobile phones and IP addresses belong to the network operator rather than the end user.

    For each individual that clicks on an ad or browses a site, a privacy protected Bango User ID is created, compiled through sophisticated WAP gateway (Wireless Application Protocol gateway) Software that decodes and encodes requests and responses between the smartphone microbrowsers and the Internet. It decodes the encoded WAP requests from the microbrowser and sends the HTTP requests to the Internet or to a local  profiling, data from browser browser

    Software that allows a computer user to find and view information on the Internet. The first text-based browser for the World Wide Web became available in 1991; Web use expanded rapidly after the release in 1993 of a browser called Mosaic, which used
     analysis, session information and network interactions. This unique user ID enables Bango to distinguish between new and repeat users and therefore quantify precisely the number of unique visitors.
