About Rachel
- Rachel Elnaugh
- Bakewell, Derbyshire, United Kingdom
- ...is one of Britain’s highest profile female entrepreneurs. Having started her working life as an office junior, at the age of 24 she created the market leading experiences brand Red Letter Days on a shoestring budget from the front room of her home. Red Letter Days went on to generate over £100million in turnover in the 16 years that she ran it, and in doing so pioneered the UK's £250 million experiences sector. This earned her an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2002, as well as being short listed for the 2001 Veuve Clicquot Businesswoman of the Year award. In early 2005, Rachel shot to fame as one of the original Dragons in BBCTV's BAFTA nominated cult business show Dragons’ Den. After the well-publicised crash of Red Letter Days in 2005, Rachel became heavily involved in the Small Business Sector and recently won the IAB 'UK Champion of Entrepreneurship' award for 2008. Her unique Entrepreneurial Profiling Test was launched in 2007 and you can take the test free by visiting www.rachelelnaugh.com. Rachel's first book 'Business Nightmares' was published by Crimson in May 2008.

"not sure if that is good or bad" - I would say it is very good.
Do you have analytical software to see where your visitors are coming from, how long they stay and how many visitors there are ? If you do not know whether it is good or bad I suspect you do not but you could get some good ideas about how to improve your visitor numbers even further by seeing current stats.
I find Google Analytics http://www.google.com/analytics/ useful - just a bit of code to add to each page of your site. It's quite useful for looking at trends as well. Does anyone else use Google Analytics and any views on it?

Yes I have this on my website but not on my Blog - all sounds quite technical to me - but thanks for the feedback and I will look into it!

Oh great, I disappear for a few weeks and I miss Christmas...bugger!

Google analytics is good, but doesnt track a lot of what you need.
The best option is to have your blog run on your own webspace so that you can use your web stats to follow everything. It's quite amazing what you can learn if you examine your webstats once a month. (Those that don't do it should look at their webstats now)
Another option is to use a paid for blogger like Typepad which will give you better stats and more control.
Rachel, I have decided to have another go in the new year. Could you email me details of your mentoring service. Any help is always welcome.
Ian
You need to give me your email address
