SEO & Statistics
Exposure and analysis.
Search Engine Optimisation:
Pepperio will automatically create a dynamic sitemap of your site for use by some of the major search engines such as MSN, Google, and Yahoo.
This goes on 'behind the scenes', and most users won't even be aware it is happening. But if you use Google's Webmaster Tools (or an appropriate alternative) to analyse your site traffic you can use this feature to increase the search engine's ability to crawl and index all the necessary pages of your site.
Here's how (Google Specific):
1. Within the webmaster tools screen, click on 'Add a sitemap'
2. Choose 'Add general Web Sitemap' from the dropdown menu.
3. Enter this suffix to the url you want to submit; /sitemap.xml.gz, ie if your site domain is www.yoursite.com, the url you enter is www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml.gz.

Urchin Statistics:
Pepperio includes Urchin Analytics to provide detailed analysis and statistics on the traffic through your site. To use Urchin you will need to log-in here with the username/password combination supplied to you.
To view detailed stats for your site, click on the numbered domain name/s listed. This will take you through to a new screen where you can view information based on Traffic, Pages and Files, Navigation, Referrals, Domains and Users and Browsers and Robots.
More detailed information is available at the bottom of every Urchin screen, which explain the terms used and an overview of what is being described on each screen.
