Spring is here, and with rising temperatures come rising web traffic numbers! In March, wonderfulmachine.com brought in a total of 19,514 sessions from 13,039 users, a nice upswing from last month. Our bounce rate is also down a few points from last month, which is great to see. Check out our March overview below:
As usual, the U.S. pulled in the most traffic this month, with a total of 12,925 sessions. The U.K. and Canada followed in second and third with 1,071 and 732 sessions, respectively. Mexico made an appearance on our top ten locations, coming in with 136 sessions. Take a look at our views by location below:
This month, wonderfulmachine.com had 12,665 searches for photographers, meaning an average of just above 400 photographer searches per day.
We also wanted to include our top pages for March. This is a great way to see the popularity of individual pages and see if any particular pages have high bounce rates or exit rates. On some pages, we expect to see high exit rates (such as our photographer profiles), and on others, we expect to see very low exit and bounce rates, such as our Find Photographers page with 23.5% bounced traffic and 9.6% exit traffic. In comparison, Our Expert Advice article on Photographer Bios made the top ten this month with over 700 page views, but with a bounce rate of almost 90%, because most of that traffic is finding the blog post organically and entering that post (which you can tell by the high entrance rate of 92%) and then exiting off the site.
Our photographer profiles brought in a total of 20,055 page views, leaving each photographer with an average of 28.7 profile views. From there, our photographers saw a total of 8,666 click-throughs to their websites, which averages out to 12.4 clicks per photographer. Our average click-through rate was 43%. New York City-based fashion and portraiture photographer Kelsey Wagner had the most clicks to her website this month with 44, followed by Jacksonville-based aerial and architecture photographer Ryan Ketterman with 43 and Los Angeles-based celebrity portraiture photographer Sally Montana with 42. Here are our top ten clicked photographers:
