Blog Statistics

Hi Everyone!
This month (April), I celebrate 6-months as the Crane Ridge Book Club Blog-Master (WOW, that sounds SO official!). I have had a wonderful time thus far!

When I began maintaining the blog, I was curious as to the traffic our site gets. This was partly due to Jan's comments about her Google search - for those who don't know the story, Jan Googled "co-ed book club" and OUR site was #4 on the list of results - so, I installed a statistics tracker on the site.

The tracker has been able to capture statistics starting November 8, 2007. Since then, we have had over 200 visits to the site with 91 "unique visitors" (individual computers who have visited the site). Here's a quick snapshot of the reports I receive.
It's been so exciting to see how the site's traffic ebbs and flows (especially around meeting dates). Also, the detail of the statistics received is amazing... it calculates everything from how someone got to the site, to number of minutes spent viewing, to where the visitor is from. For a "geek" like me, this is pretty cool stuff. If you'd like to see more stats, just ask - in the mean time, I won't bore our members who are pure readers with my numbers mumbo-jumbo.

Looking forward to sharing future site milestones with you!

Cheers,
Jill
