Stats Stats Stats
First thing I want to recognize is that I know at this point, I don't need to be caught up in stats. I also realize that most of my stats are coming from WA members who I have asked to review something I have written. Because of this I don't look at these things often but I do want to be familiar with these tools so I know what they mean when it will matter.
The first stat I see is my bounce rate which is 50%. Not surprising since most of my visitors are WA members. For those who don't know (I didn't), bounce rate measures the number of people who arrive at your site, then leave your site after viewing just one page (instead of going on to explore other pages on the site). This will be a helpful stat later because it will tell me if my content is engaging enough to make people want to stay and find out more.
Out of my 26 sessions, there were 20 users. Which means 76.9% were new users and 23.1% were returning users. Those 20 users viewed a total of 58 pages (or maybe they viewed a page more than once) between the 19th and the 21st of September.
AVERAGE PAGES
Average pages per session were 2.28 with average session duration lasting 4:15.
I guess that's not too bad, even with my readers being WA members.
I won't bore you with the rest. I just got a little excited as I tend to do about any progress. :)
Thank you for taking the time to read.

Bounce rate is one of those stats people don't often talk about. When I visit a fellow WA members site, I always visit at least one other page so they get no bounce from me :)
Looks good. I honestly don't look much at the stats. . . . YET. I'm still concentrating on building my sites.
I try not to but I did want to know everything was working ok and this was the first time it showed position. So now I will dutifully ignore them again and get back to work lol.
My latest shoe post is at #5 on Page 1 of Google. At least that's what the site ranker in Jaaxy says. LOL I wish I could get my WA site to rank like that. Almost all my shoe posts rank well. I think it's because of the narrow niche. Love your graphics, BTW, especially Mr. Bounce Rate!
:) thanks! That's cool, page 1. Go Carla! Don't sell yourself short, you've got some cute shoes on there. :)
If you get a chance, look at today's installment. In my opinion, the best in the very dressy flat world!
I definitely will. And soon as I start making some money at this, I will be making a purchase :)

I usually visit other pages as well. Great input Steve!
