Just a quickie if you need to replace NL (New Line or Carriage Return) in CFMX;

<cfset text = replace(text,'#Chr(10)##Chr(13)#','<br>',"All")>

The people we (web designers/developers) create work for are always really interested in web traffic – LOTS of web traffic. But there is one thing that many web designers/developers and even our clients don’t consider, is the quality of traffic.

We (developers & clients alike) love counting page-views and unique visits but from my point of view, if the traffic you are attracting is poor, who cares if you get thousands of visits a day!

How can we determine the ‘quality’ of web traffic?

1. Length of their visit…
2. If you sell a service/product what your ‘conversion rate’ is…
3. How many bookmark/’add-to-favorite’ your website.
4. How many people visit your website by directly typing in your web address.
