July stats
It’s time for the monthly analytics summary again! After 15 months of seeing traffic lower than 2006 levels, we finally surpassed our traffic levels from July 2006. What is even more exciting is that we had 7,669 more visitors this year than we did last year for the month of July.
All three of our focus areas (admission, alumni and Central College Abroad) continue to see more traffic than last year. While our focus areas are seeing more traffic, our non-focus areas like the student life section of the site are also seeing more traffic. Most notably, the campus life homepage saw 326 more visitors than the admissions homepage as students are beginning the transition to campus.
I posted last week on how we added a link to the department Web sites to the homepage of the Central College Web site. This didn’t significantly alter the amount of traffic to the departments Web site since it was only done a week ago, but we did not see such a drastic drop-off in the summer as we did last year. Since we added the link to the homepage we have only had 7 of 59 total visits from the Central Web site.
