We thought that RCA fans might be interested in some impressive statistics for the club web site.
For the period 21 February to 23 March our web site, not including the Fans Forum, had 3,460 visits, of which 22.66% were new, and 10,108 page views. The visits were from 1,024 unique visitors. The average time on the site is 2 minutes and 40 seconds. We've got quite a low 'bounce rate' - people landing on the site and simply going after looking at one page - of 14%.
The most popular page is the home page followed by fans, reports and matches.
Here's a snapshot from the main usage report summarising the information.
Sunderland RCA are quite international! Obviously the majority of visits (3,378 out of 3,460 for the month) are from the UK, but we have had 'non-bounce' vists from France, Ireland, Australia. In total, we have had visits from 21 countries.
Less exotic, but more significant, is our spread of vsists in the UK - in the last month 3,378 visits from 119 locations. The map below shows the spread.
