How Effective is Cruise Deal Watch?
Cruise Deal Watch is open about how it performs for its visitors. This is important because we want you to know how effective a site such as this actually is. We're constantly looking for new ways to engage with people looking for their next Cruise, and we are strong supporters of social media and other channels to reach our audience.
Many cruise websites operate as a front for travel agencies and don't publish any analytics. Well, we're different because we aren't a travel agency. We constantly monitor the internet for the best Cruise Deals in much the same was as search engines such as Google scan for a variety of subject matter and sites. How we perform is key to promoting growth in our services.
Amongst all the technical data we gather, the most important metrics tell us if visitors are finding what they are after. So we're most interested in the time spent browsing, the number of pages viewed, which cruises were viewed, how they were found, and which deals attracted a click-through to the serving agency. We're also interested in how effective our social media channels are and from where our visitors came.
