That’s what our Google analytics report says this morning anyway, which we’ve just published on our front page 🙂

So even after the fabled evictions, about 1,007,000 people visited and didn’t come to the forum!!

What is that as a percentage change from when the rogues were here?

Majority in the forum as it happens, in terms of page impressions at least.

Growth in the last 12 months has been from just under 600k to a million.

Nice response there Pie, let the Singletrack bashing begin 😉

Always wondered if I was unique, now it’s been confirmed.
Imagine that, over a million unique people doing the same thing… 😉

Well done, but they aren’t unique – they are all middling (IT) managers with an Audi, a coffee maker and set of “chef’s” knives.

Unique user is an individual IP address as measured by Google (It’s not us doing any measuring). The Google report states ‘1,007,195 people visited this site…’. But I don’t say that. All that can be measured is IP addresses or in basic terms, individual computers*

* I know it’s not quite as simple as that and there’s all sorts of things that alter the numbers, like 1 IP = lots of people on a network at work or IP addresses changing each time some users login etc… But as far as the internet is concerned a Unique user is at least a reasonably standard measure that can be used to make comparisons between websites. So it’s as close an approximation to a measure of people as is generally available.

Hmm interesting and er well done

How are unique visitor figure generated?

If it’s by IP address then unless people visiting the forum have a persistent IP they would generate a unique IP address the next time they visit – no?

Unique visitors by cookie and up address? Sadly, the growth in mobile devices is making this number a bit difficult to assign weight to. I’m not sure how that one can be resolved other than by enforcing log on.

Thanks Mark, my question was a genuine one. I was wondering if it referred to activity levels or other factors. That makes sense, and suggests that all is going well with STW! Good to see.

Although as I block Google Analytics from saving Cookies and running scripts, I’ll appear as a unique visitor each time I visit 😉

I stand corrected then. Tom’s just confirmed that too 🙂 I guess that’s better than IP addresses
and more accurate. Bonus! I’m even happier now 🙂

Aren’t you supposed to publish your cookie policy more clearly now?

So serious question then.

How busy does that make STW compared to similar sites.

Eg other cycling sites or wider forums in general?

Well done to the stw team – you put a lot of work into the site and put up with a lot of, errrm, dissent from people on here.

IP addresses are pretty hopeless for tracking people e.g. Cambridge University has 30k students who will all share a dozen or so IPs to browse the web from college systems.

Look, however it’s calculated, there are folk in wherever stw is based with erections that’ll last all week. And for that, we should be thankful.

There’s a good website to look at if you want to make comparisons..
http://www.alexa.com

I think it’s actually owned by Google. You can make relative comparisons between any website on there.

The caveat with that site is that the stats all come from a downloaded toolbar installed on users browsers. As such the sample size will be restricted. But it’s still an interesting way to judge the traffic of a website and we’ve noticed that it does seem to match a lot of our own measured numbers too.

How have you found the near doubling over the last year to have affected bounce rate, I would expect it to have gone up but what sort of percentage?

Likewise how has time on site changed?

So if I login from home, from my iPhone and from my work PC I take it that counts as 3 ‘individual users’?

Anyway whay matters is that the figures are going in the right direction, the absolute number doesn’t matter.

Bounce rate has increased by 7% over this time last year. The current rate is in the report in the story on the front page. Time on site is in there too. That has dropped by about a minute over this time last year. Again the current rate is in the report 🙂
