Visitors

[CHfather]

Maybe others are curious about this, too, although I realize it's probably a question for the board's moderators/admins.

I notice that every day there are more than a hundred visitors to the board.  Do we know whether there's any kind of pattern to their activity?  I'm just wondering whether there's any way we could be sure that we're making it as easy as possible for them to get what they are looking for.  Do we know whether it's mostly the same people coming back, or is it mostly new visitors every day? (I figure maybe IP addresses would tell something about that(???).)

Just asking primarily out of curiosity, and partly from a desire to be sure they're as likely as possible to find what they need.  I have no idea what kinds of analytics are available/in use for this board.  If there's any kind of useful analysis that could be done but for which "manpower" is lacking to conduct it, I'd be happy to volunteer.

In most boards the guests are members, that will add to guest count before they login. But for some reason most of the board software I have seen counts logged in as guests as well (double count). I have always wondered how something so little can't be fixed. One thing might be nature of our condition, when in cycle people log in and post but other times they just follow not logged in. Dunno.

It could also be legitimate users checking the board from roaming devices, iPads, phones etc.   I've done that before and just read the board as a guest because either logging in was a pain in the A, or didn't feel like taking the time.
