A social site for poets in Sydney.
In my day job I help businesses with their website strategy – I'm what's called an information architect. That's right, have a good laugh.
Anyway, one of the things I do is keep an eye on website statistics to see how sites are performing. This being a member site I thought it might be of interest to y'all to have a sneaky peak at the monthly numbers.
Here's a few things I've noticed in this month's report.
Inbound search keywords
The top ten keywords used on search engines to arrive at Sydney Poetry (after sifting out direct hit terms like "sydney poetry") are:
Not surprisingly inbound search seems to mostly be about poets and events.
What's it all mean
The time on site and pages per visit are really healthy – a lot of commercial websites spend bucketloads of money on content and marketing to get to figures like that – we just have poetry. It's great to see the site means this much to people already.
The figures also show the relevance of the weekly email – members are clicking through to the site when it arrives and checking out the details. Another thing I noticed after starting the email is that people are adding things to the site.
Overall this is a picture of health.
Let me know in the comments if you find this interesting, or have any questions about the numbers.
