If you can’t measure the success of the your website or blog through conversion rates, what’s a qualitative way of finding out if it is effective or not? Avinash, a web analytics and usability guru explains three greatest survey questions that every web master must know:
- What is the purpose of your visit to our website today?
- Were you able to complete your task today?
- If you were not able to complete your task today, why not?
Using the What Would Seth Godin DO (WWSGD) wordpress plugin, you can add these questions at the end of all your posts to find out how visitors are using your website.
I’ve personally reduced it to two sentences:
- What is the purpose of your visit to our website today?
- Were you able to complete your task today? If not, why not?
It just looks easier to read. Try it out. You’ll be intrigued by what you will learn.
