Google Analytics provides extensive reports and stats about your website such as visitors, page views, bounce rate, top keyword search, referrals, popular contents, etc… I started using Google Analytics several weeks ago to track web stats for Shanghai Tech Writer.  Thought I’d start sharing a few interesting stats about this blog.

Thoughts About Stats from This Month:

  1. Bounce rate of 25% means that 25% of all visitors find this blog irrelevant to whatever they were searching for and leave. The lower the bounce rate, the better/more relevant your blog is. 25% is actually a really good number because that means the majority of visitors (many first-time visitors) find this blog relevant / interesting. My personal blog and food blog on the other hand have bounce rates around 65-70%!!! 
  2. Based on the top 10 keyword search, it looks like people are interested in reading about technical writing and photo templates.
  3. Thanks to a few good referrals that brought visitors interested in what I have to blog about.
  4. Unfortunately, people have an average attention span of 3 minutes 13 seconds before they move on to something else.
  5. Shanghai has the most visitors of all cities. Um . . .  I think that was me.
