Overview of Bitcointalk Traffic Analysis
Introduction:
Analyzing website traffic for Bitcointalk can provide valuable insights that can help forum members to understand how big we are and obviously we can inform Crypto businesses to make informed decisions about advertising their projects on the forum.
As an SEO professional, I have all sorts of tools which allow me to see different metrics of a website to analyze and improve. I always wondered why admins never thought of to have an SEO audit for the entire forum, I understand it's an old forum but having an SEO audit and some simple tweaks can increase our online experience by 100x. That being said let's start with the last last month's stats.
Traffic stats for February 2023
1.3 Million visits with 552.1k visitors. Although visits gained up to 8.63% compared to January 2023 but 2.97% drop of unique visitors basically makes it even. We had very similar traffic activities comparing to previous month. 56.53% bounce rate on a forum is a lot to be honest. The average visit duration is not bad. It means there are people who spend almost a whole day on the forum.
Last six month's traffic flow and takes
Does anyone have any explanation why on the earth there is a dramatic drop from September last year to October last year? From 3.9M monthly visit to under 1M which is almost 75% drop, not a very normal behavior. Is this because of the Bitcoin price? I can not remember when it started to drop from $50k then below.
Form October to until now, it's moving steady which is a good thing.
81% of the forum visitors are from Desktop which again proves if we had a mobile friendly version then we would have at least 10x visitors on the forum.
It's very simple, most of the visitors who stay longer time are people who know the url and visit the forum by typing the URL directly on their browser. They may have bookmarked the pages too.
Even without proper optimization, Google is providing 32.89% traffic. Duckduckgo is also popular around the community. I think these small percent of people are really concerned about their privacy.
No office but it seems Colombian nations who are the most numbers as visitors do not like mobile device at all LOL. See 100% are on desktop when they are visiting the forum
Would you like me to continue it for every coming months?
Opinions please.
