Well, I just found out that the stats I run through Google don't include any browsers that don't have Javascript enabled (which is a lot). I ran them for the last month directly off my server's logs, and they look a LOT better.
So, to restate the stats in the first post:
5994 Absolute Unique Visitors
1,179,727 Pageviews
57,810 Visits
21.01 Average Pageviews
00:21:22 Time on Site
8.06% Bounce Rate
What does this mean to you?
5994 unique (different) people have visited this site since 10/13/09, and have viewed (in total) nearly 1.2 million pages. The average visitor looks at 21 pages per visit, but 8% of visitors only look at one page (this is a very good bounce rate!). About 12% of the pages viewed are viewed by first-time viewers. These are really good stats for only being 13 days into November.
What does this mean for our sponsors?
We currently have 7 sponsors with rotating banners at the top of the forum. Each sponsor's banner has been viewed approximately 169,000 times in the last month, by nearly 6000 different people. Sounds like a good deal to me.
