Site Stats for First Half of 2011
Here’s a look at visitors and pageviews for Walker Tea Review for the full weeks extending from 2 January to 25 June 2011.
A few points about the dashboard stats:
- a significant portion (over 70%) of traffic is new visitors. This means visitors are not other, established tea bloggers or the same tea retailers checking-in to see their reviews. These are new eyes of tea drinkers
- people stay and look around. An average of nearly 4 pages are viewed by each visitor. People are doing research- looking for places to shop, comparing quality and prices
- A majority of visitors don’t watch videos in their entirety. The average visitor spends about 3 minutes on the site, so visitors often do a quick check of scores and prices. This breaks down to less than a minute per page
A few points about the pageview stats:
- this averages to 159 pageviews each day
- again, these are new visitors looking for info. Tea retailers and other tea bloggers already know of Walker Tea Review and are direct traffic who spend less time on the site
- I did not employ Google Ads during this period, so these are organic search results
A few points about the map stats:
- 70% of visitors are U.S. based, or sent via a U. S.-based server
- the NYC region remains the single greatest source of traffic, with the busiest traffic region extending from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania
I share these stats for:
- tea retailers and tea industry folks who want more of a snapshot of what tea blogs actually bring to the table. Who knows, maybe some of you want to submit a tea for review or want to advertise to reach a targeted, niche audience of tea drinkers.
- bloggers who want info or interaction. You want to know if your blog is keeping up with the digital Joneses. I showed my cards- will you comment and share yours? If you like what you see, lets talk about working together.
Most of my audience remains U.S. based, which jibes with my intended goal of supporting U.S. tea customers.
