I almost forgot to publish statistics for December 2018!  The SealFAQs site is doing well but in 2019 I won’t be publishing statistics every month.  January 2019 views are at record highs so far.

SealFAQs statistics for December 2018.  December was a good month although not as good as November and October.  I blame the holiday season for the drop in viewers.

SealFAQs has been officially launched for a full year now.  In December, unique visitors dropped quite a bit from November and October.  Here are the statistics according to Awstats (Advanced Web Statistics).

SealFAQs had 2269 unique visitors during December and a total of 3970 visits (1.73 visits/visitor).  Visitors averaged looking at 2.2 pages per visit.  Bandwidth was 2.0 GB.  So the visits per visitor increased but pages per visit dropped a little.

Visits per day during December averaged 128; the most visits in a day was 196.   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 and this drop off also occurred during the holiday season.

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

The average time of a visit decreased to 272 seconds in duration but 84% 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 8 different keyphrases having 17 different words.  As in the past, piping plans were the most common search words.

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.
