Our website has begun to gain a lot of traffic over the past few months. Here are some of the current stats and information about them:

Month........ Unique ..... Visits
Jan 2008..... 220......... 337
Feb 2008..... 339......... 498
Mar 2008.....308.......... 463
Apr 2008..... 277......... 473
May 2008.... 1572....... 1933
Jun 2008..... 1684....... 1989
Jul 2008...... 547......... 916
Aug 2008.... 422......... 718
Sep 2008.... 641......... 1264
Oct 2008.....934 ......... 3040

The information above shows just how much our website is growing and how people in the area are becoming aware of the site. The column to the right of the month that says "Unique" is the number of visitors that have visited the site for the first time. The next column "Visits" is the number of times people accesses the site. Also note that July and August declined. It is believed this was due to the vacation time of the year. You should also note that October had a large spike. This should be due to people staying home more due to the economy, school starting back, and they are beginning to look for things happening in and around the Wetumpka area. Visitors should continue to climb during the next few months due to the holiday season.

This next information segment tells how long visitors stay on our site. Remember, some people are just coming on to find out certain information (such as an event time) then leave. Others, as you can tell, stay on the site looking around for quite a while. So far it is about 50% quick visits and 50% long visits.

0s-30s ..........#1023...... 33.6 %
30s-2mn........#381........ 12.5 %
2mn-5mn.......#644........ 21.1 %
5mn-15mn .....#376........ 12.3 %
15mn-30mn...#286........ 9.4 %
30mn-1h........#167....... 5.4 %
