3 Days of Google Analytics

Analytics is starting to report some numbers for my little craigslist search companion. Here’s a peek:

First off, due to TOS reasons, this isn’t a $ making project. My goal always has been to help guitar collectors find stuff on craigslist. With that in mind I’m pretty happy with the current pages/visit and time on site numbers. The bounce rate’s nice and low too.

So, initial indications are that the ~90 visitors/day are searching for a few things and hanging out for a little while. I’d like to get the pages/visit higher though. I had one session where a user searched for “charvel” guitars and visited 170+ pages. I can’t remember how I got to that stat but here’s another chart…

So 60+ folks visited 20+ pages. Not bad…

I’m considering this whole project a lesson in usability. People like it and I’m trying to learn & measure whatever I can in order to increase value for users while educating myself on user experience.

If you’ve got feedback lemme know yo.
