October was the best month, so far, of 2018.

SealFAQs has been officially launched for ten months now.  In October, unique visitors increased quite a bit from previous months.  Here are the statistics according to Awstats (Advanced Web Statistics).

SealFAQs had 2634 unique visitors during October and a total of 3769 visits (1.43 visits/visitor).  Visitors averaged looking at 2.3 pages per visit.  Bandwidth was up to 2.4GB.  So the visits per visitor and pages per visit has remained about the same for several months. This means that many visitors do not make a return visit and also look at only a few pages.

Visits per day during October averaged 121; the most visits in a day was 166.   As usual, most people visit during the week and the middle part of the day.  There has always been a drop off in visits on the weekends.

By far, the most visitors are from the United States and distantly followed by India and China.

The average time of a visit decreased to 304 seconds in duration but 80% of all visits are still for less than 30 seconds.  It does appear that some people are logging in and staying on the site an hour or more – forgetting to log out or reading/studying?

Access to SealFAQs via search engines was based on 16 different keyphrases including, as usual, several searches for information on piping plans.

I check SealFAQs for comments every day.  Almost no one has submitted a real comment but several bits of spam or faked comments show up daily.  The lack of comments and discussion continues to be troublesome to me.
