New Site Administrator dashboard

A new user-friendly dashboard for Site Administrators provides key statistics, presented in an easy-to-understand graphical interface. This information is vital to gaining Web site performance knowledge, such as:

Web traffic reporting. Owners can see how much traffic is going to their site and learn how to increase it by subscribing to various site promotional services.
User and e-mail resource reporting. These Web site owners can learn which users are more active with their mailboxes, and allocate resources accordingly.
General site overview. Site owners can take a snapshot of site usage and status, so they can manage their site more efficiently
