WoW Hunters Hall October Traffic Report

I did a little digging, and it turns out I totally missed the September traffic report. This was because I am massively lazy, which I think we can all agree is a suitable excuse. So with a one month absense, here is the traffic report for WoW Hunters Hall in October — how many people come here, what they read the most and all that good stuff.

Eidotrope of OutDPS had a great idea some time ago to try to do some research into just how significant WHH is to other hunter bloggers — find out how much traffic they get from the WHH, and what kind of impact it’s had. I think this is a phenomenal idea, unfortunately there are two main problems: the first is the difficulty in getting other bloggers to divulge their analytics data. Don’t get me wrong, I could probably sweet talk it out of several people, but it’s a challenge. This leads us to the second, bigger issue: I am massively lazy. It’s in my mind, but we’ll see whether I get around to pursuing it. Encouragement is encouraged.

Traffic Overview

In October WoW Hunters Hall had 39,249  visits and 80,935  page views, with a total of 21,669  unique visitors. This is significantly fewer visits than August, and fewer pageviews; however, it’s just about the same number of unique visitors, implying that just as many people are using WoW Hunters Hall, but are visiting it less often. Interesting.

The majority of WHH traffic came from referring traffic from another site (50.19%) — however in August that was over 70% — far more people are now coming directly to or searching directly for the WoW Hunters Hall. Search engines brought in 30.68% of traffic, and the majority of that was for branded phrases (searches for a variation of “WoW Hunters Hall”).

This was enough traffic that the wee ad you see over on the right raked in $3.59, which is going straight into Frostheim’s getting trashed account (and is why he drinks so seldom).
