Google Analytics & Site Stuff

Two weeks ago I decided to give Google Analytics another try. It’s changed quite a bit since I originally set up my account, and it’s all for the better. After getting some data to parse, I have to say it’s one of the better site trackers I’ve used.

Unfortunately, the picture it paints is dreary. The average visit time is just a hair over one minute, and more than 80% of visitors view one page and then leave. 90% of visitors are new, which seems nice, but the largest draw continues to be two posts that I made about “Real Dolls” from a couple years ago.

As I’ve lamented before, the site is being pulled in a hundred directions, and it’s impacting readability and quality. Divvying up the posts from here onto multiple sites would take ages, and I like being able to access everyone from a single back-end.

So I’m going to renew my efforts of creating multiple front-ends for the categories. Mostly, I want to separate the “motoring,” “politics,” and “health” categories into their own mini sites.

We’ll see how it plays out.
