About the Blog

The thoughts and theories of a guy who basically should have gone to bed hours ago.

I know, I know - what's the point? But look at it this way - I stayed up late writing it, but you're reading it...

Let's call ourselves even & move on, OK?

Familygreenberg.com Health Check - May Edition


I may be falling behind on my ISBS Tech Guide (I'll start again soon, I swear!), but Google Analytics has provided me the tools to create two monthly features. This is the first of the two - the site health check. Rather than explain it, I'll just show it to you:

MetricAprilMay% Change
Visits1,7921,441-19.59%
Pageviews2,1322,563-16.82%
Pages/Visit1.431.48+3.45%
Avg Time on Site40 sec.46 sec.+15.00%
Bounce Rate80.75%78.42%-2.89%
% New Visitors91.63%88.48%-3.44%


Digging into the data a bit more (I won't bore you with details), it seems that overall visits and pageviews on the site dropped in May because Billy Joel's touring wrapped up (in April, roughly 900 of the 2,563 pageviews were Billy Joel related; in May, that number was roughly 450, which accounts for the net difference in pageviews on its own).

On the upside, people are staying longer, leaving after one page ("bouncing") less often, and returning more often. So all in all, things are going pretty well.
