In my never ending quest to have 1% of the metrics-obsession of zynga, I’m going to just brain dump loads of web stats and see if anyone can drawn more epic conclusions than I can.<\/p>\n
For the last two weeks (27th feb – 12th march<\/strong>), here are some analytics web stats for positech.co.uk<\/p>\n There were 32,500 visits<\/strong>, and the bounce rate was 66%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 32%<\/strong> was direct traffic, which is interesting becauise I’d assume that was forum stuff, but the forums aren’t tagged by analytics at all. Weirdly, the top content for direct visits, with 10%<\/strong> of the total is the Kudos homepage. I bet this is a link through some [code] tags on a pirate site, hence no referrer. Oh joy.<\/p>\n If I look at new visitors, their top destination is Gratuitous Space Battles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If I look, in general at visitors to the GSB homepage, the bounce rate is 44%<\/strong> which isn’t so bad. 24%<\/strong> of those who stay go to the demo page next, which is also a good sign.<\/p>\n When looking at the demo page itself, 18%<\/strong> of people bail out here, the top move for people who don’t is the demo download link, other people visit other parts of the site. That’s pretty good.<\/p>\n The second most popular page on my site is the positech homepage itself. It has a bounce rate of 45%<\/strong>, which could be lower, considering there are so many possible destinations from there. Scarily, the top destination from the homepage is actually this lil ol blog here<\/span>. Very surprising, I’d expected the top result there to be GSB. Should this bother me?<\/p>\n Quite a few people click the small icons going to pages for affiliate sales. Harvest:Massive encounter got over 200 clicks in 14<\/strong> days. There were zero sales, and generally affiliate sales are very low. I am strongly minded to remove all that from the front page, and concentrate on my own games, especially as I now have showmethegames<\/a> to promote the general indie scene.<\/p>\n Looking at visitors, I can see that firefox is #1, followed by chrome. Internet explorer has just 23.8%<\/strong> of visitors. Specs-wise, the most common screen res is a scarily low 1024×768, followed by 1280×800. This seems to me that it is mostly laptop and netbook surfers. I surf a lot on my laptop, but work on a massive four trillion pixel monitor.<\/p>\n Demographics wise the top visitors are from the US, then UK, Canada, Germany, This is all good, and due to me changing the settings on my ad-campaigns no doubt.\u00a0 Stats are awesome, the top state is California, and the top city is San francisco. You SF surfers are busy, with a shorter time on site than average :D. Scarily, if I look just at users who visited the GSB buy page, the #2 country is Brazil. I can’t find any sales to Brazil, so one can onyl hope thiose Brazilians tell their German friends they should check out the game…<\/p>\n I know… I need to get a life or something :D<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In my never ending quest to have 1% of the metrics-obsession of zynga, I’m going to just brain dump loads of web stats and see if anyone can drawn more epic conclusions than I can.
