A wonderful year
Posted by Adrian on February 9, 2009 – 10:47 pm | No CommentsThe new ELFM website went live just about a year ago. We thought you might want to know a few facts and figures from our first year…
The visits are currently going up – 1507 visits this month – that’s 39% more visits than in the previous month.
Adds up to a total of 16,671 visits in the year. 93% of our visitors are from the UK – half of them from Leeds but we have had visitors from 74 different countries
We get visitors from 3 sources – split about equally – people who know coming direct to the site; others from search engines and we are getting almost a third of our traffic from direct referrals from other sites too – including our myspace (well done Andy) but also east north east homes; hilary benn’s website, moonraking, brigshaw school, heads together, common agency, Odi’ site, Temple Moor Radio (thanks Elliott), loads from what must be a kurdish site jebar.info … and 545 visits in the last year direct from leeds music forum – well done Andy and Ed.
So it is definitely worth asking other websites to link in to us – does us good for our google rankings too I believe.
Top 15 posts in descending order:
1) Kurdish Night (with a massive 3564 page views!!!)
2) Bubba
3) Brigshaw School
4) East Leeds Got Talent 2
5) Temple Moor first steps
6) Out of Armley
7) Halton Moor/Osmondthorpe Gala
8 ) Maggie 8
9) Tony Benn at Garforth
10) Connecting Communites
11) Doreen Lawrence
12) Halabja
13) The Finnlys
14) Odi
15) Listen Again to Temple Moor
Top tags people used (apart from the ones that make the site work like schedule, next broadcast etc:
1) Kurdish
2) Easel
3) Gipton
4) Young People
5) Moor Music Festival
6) East Leeds Got Talent
7) Local Talent
8 ) Music
9) Post Office
10) Community
(Can anyone tell I’ve been spending too much time on google analytics?)
Anyway – after a year we are in a very strong position and just about to do a whole new set of re-developments to the website. Watch this space!
