So what’s so cool about 3,000? The Tri-State BBQ Festival web site hit a little over 3,000 visitors in the past month. (3,098 in 31 days to be exact.)
That’s awesome news, and nearly a 100% increase over the previous year (Dec 26- Jan 27). I must be a numbers geek, because the Google Analytics fascinate me! For example…
For example,Facebook refers more people to the site than ALL search engines combined!
Google is preferred as a search engine 5:1 over the next closest used search tool bar (Yahoo). 
Now for the fun stuff —
- Each person spent an average of 2 minutes and 17 seconds on the site.
- While 95.59% of the visitors live in the US, we also had visitors from Canada, India, Australia, Germany, China, the UK, Russia and Brazil.
- In the US, we had visits from 38 of the 50 states! The top ten? Of course, Alabama lead, followed by Florida, Georgia, Texas, Ohio (!? Ohio had 27 unique visitors in the past month!), Tennessee, NY, California, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
- The average visitor looks at 2.44 pages before leaving.
- The pages viewed? Top three- Home page (where this blog is), Competitors page and Ticket Page.
And that was just the PAST MONTH! I can’t wait until we get closer to the BBQ Festival. We should have numbers much higher than this during March and April!
We are constantly updating information, adding teams and vendors and will be posting the sponsors logos after the January 31 deadline. So please check back and let your friends know about the site!
