Comments on: How many pages per visit? http://agylen.com/2005/12/06/how-many-pages-per-visit/ Ugo Cei's Weblog Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:39:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Paul http://agylen.com/2005/12/06/how-many-pages-per-visit/#comment-903 Paul Fri, 30 Dec 2005 09:48:42 +0000 http://agylen.com/2005/12/06/how-many-pages-per-visit/#comment-903 But would you not say that 'stickiness' in the traditional sense of websites isn't necessarily what's important/relevant for a blog? I would imagine most blogs are consumed through RSS feeds (mine certainly are) -- the sheer volume of traffic makes it so. Although I do often take a look over other articles, I tend not to, unless it's lunch or sometime where I'm looking for inspiration and decide to take my mind off what I'm solving directly for a little while. It's an interesting issue though -- one that I don't think's been covered that much yet: how to incorporate this kind of readership analysis into RSS feeds. Using web analytics is only a portion of the story. Mind you, that could be because my average page per visit is slightly above 1.0 right now :) But would you not say that ’stickiness’ in the traditional sense of websites isn’t necessarily what’s important/relevant for a blog?
