The Proof is in the Pudding
Having a specialized structure that leads to great content which is optimized for search engines and social media is nice... but does it actually get the promised results? Here are some analytics from a customer.
These charts provide absolute numbers but also make use of Google's benchmarking for similar sites - in this case Forums. (note: Google had a benchmark aberration on Aug 28 where you see the odd spike).
Total Visits
As you can see the Social Q&A site outperforms the benchmark by almost 500%. This is largely a result of search engine optimization as you'll see…
New Visits
The site gets over 30% more new visits than similar sites because it is optimized for Google and social media. You can see that almost 60% of the overall traffic is new visits.
Pageviews
The site gets over 277% more pageviews than similar sites because it is engaging and fosters great loyalty in terms of repeat visits…
Loyalty
This loyalty report shows that over 21% of the visitors come back more than 50 times a month and more than half of those come back over 200 times a month!
Note: These Twitter results are more likely double the actual shown because only visitors from the Twitter page itself are reported as Twitter. Twitter users typically use a Twitter client rather than the Twitter page itself.
We introduced an an automatic Twitter stream for people to follow about a month ago. It still only represents about 1% of visits but they spend over 5 minutes on the site for every visit.
