Web analytics tools allowed users to track visitor traffic and help determine the effectiveness of their article across several objectives. The tool can help authors improve the performance of future submissions and analyzing the past behaviors of their articles by tracking visitor traffic. Parameters include a graph showing the number of visits over different time frames, the keywords their readers used to find their articles (shown by number and total percentage), and the referrer through which their readers arrive at ArticlesBase.
