Having the right website or product is the natural way to attract the right audience. However, to (1) retain and(2) grow your audience and website visitors you will need a website visitor tracking tool to focus and improve different website visitors metrics.

Of course, all this is possible after implementing and tracking them with your website visitors tracking tool as KISSmetrics, Mixpanel or Google Analytics.

Maybe you already found this too. All existent web analytics tracking and reporting tools are full of metrics and dimensions. There are hundreds of them! In this post i will introduce the ones that radically matter, again, to retain and grow your website visitors.

And, as i promised in the title, today metrics are radically simple and short. Two website metrics that works for anyone.
