Analytics: August 2019
Analytics shows a decrease in all numbers compared to August of 2018, but shows an increase in users, new users, and sessions from last month. Our total users have gone down by 8.9%, compared to 2018 and the session duration is down by 9.8%. However, numbers are looking up since July, as we have gained 835 visitors.
The number of organic searches has remained the same since last year; however, the direct links have gone up by 2.5%. The number of people coming to Wonderful Machine through social media has wildly increased. This is a good reflection of how we are promoting our photographers and work through social media. While referrals seem to have gone down, traffic through email is on the rise.
The majority of Wonderful Machine’s audience is in the United States, with 63.61% of all visitors. India comes second with 749 users, followed by France, the United Kingdom, and Canada making up the top 5 countries.
