When you have a web site of any size or shape, you come to realize that statistics, in various forms, are important to watch. They let you know how well you are doing, and what type of content seems to be the most popular. With all the different types of statistics to watch, I thought I would go through the top five that you should keep you eye on the most.

Domain Name Typos
People often say it is a good idea to register domain name typos. Why? Well, when somebody accidently types in the wrong domain name, you want to make sure they still get to your web site at large. For example, did you know Google has Gooogle.com registered?
