    When i have read our stats i am at a loss to really comprehend them since i have nothing to compare them with. Libcom has provided their own stats. Should it be lined up alongside this forum or with the home-page of our website? I am not too sure.

    Now could our Internet Committee members now say for the numbskulls like myself where we are stronger than Libcom and perhaps where we are not in relation to their figures. This will help to give us all a better picture 

    Apart from the figures, Libcom make some observations of how things are trending ie Facebook becoming the main traffic source. I am guessing that our own visitors reflect this also so is there something we can do to capture more traffic?

    Very interesting stuff. I've added SPGB stuff there which caused a minor flap with at least one user. As long as the stuff is good quality and not just spamming I think it appropriate and a good way to engage with others outside the party and outside party channels. Some of the SPGB content there is original and fairly exclusive as it is not widely published elsewhere on the internet.

    Well this year we had a total of 646 252 visits, an increase on last year of 37%.Libcom this year had a monthly average of 275 727 and increase of 4% on the previous year.So we are growing faster than them this year but there website gets a whole lot more traffic, as it has a whole lot more content.Excluding search engines most of our referrals came fromBBC.co.uk (0.65% of all visits)Facebook (0.54%)Twitter (0.51%)76.8% of traffic comes via Google.

    The BBC source is obviously because of our election campaign in May. Another reason why we should continue contesting seats, since it has a higher response rate than the two major social media sites. Which is something that surprises me. Is there anyway of determing the average stay of vsitors from Google so we can determine if they are either clicking to us in error and quickly departing or actually reading our web-pages?

    And, no doubt, down to the story about the party's 'resources' which carried a link to our website…http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-33478400

    Forgot about that bit of coverage, Gnome…No doubt by using dates, the IC could distinguish which had the greater impact …
