I’m now actively working on that other site as I try to get it under control. What I’ve learned about the folks who visit the collection of web sites I manage is this:
* They love looking at and downloading pictures
* They are overwhelmingly Windows / IE users
* Search engines play a large role in how people find a site
* Less than 1/4 of all the web pages on a site are ever visited
These shouldn’t be surprising facts, but they appear to be startling when weighed against several different sites. The results are consistent, regardless of traffic volume.
Next up: learning how to get a forum/bulletin board up and running effectively!
