The official launch of the new SouthSideBusiness.com was less than 3 weeks ago. But October has already beat the previous 12 months in terms of visitors, number of visits, pageviews per visit and total pageviews. I'll post actual data on Tuesday.
The stat you've probably heard the most is "hits". I could post a very impressive number for "hits" as well, but it doesn't tell you a whole lot. A "hit" is any request for any file. If you have a page with 3 sections and a total of 10 images, a single 30 second visit to your page could generate at least 13 "hits".
We're off to a great start. I expect to see traffic continue to grow. Among other things, the new set-up allows for meta-tags and meta-descriptions for all articles, images, even ads. That makes the whole site much more search engine friendly. In the previous set up, the pages were displayed as jpg images, meaning the text within the pages would not turn up in searches, yet we still drew pretty good traffic.
Have a great weekend everyone, and a safe and fun Halloween!
