is unique visitors just measured by ip address?
if so does the iphone when running on 3g give out a different ip address every time?

Its the hotter weather, its killing our Opels lol. But no.

Interesting figures Peter. I also noticed the increasing visits, but decreasing pageviews and time spent on site. Have you changed any of the search engine tags or what ever they're called. Maybe people are searching Astra and google is sending them on to Opelaus.com. If you can follow what i mean. Either way its good advertising isnt it...

[Vectracious]

do you reckon the 9% increase in new visits was due to that thread about the crotch rocket hitting that calibra and all the users from crotchrocket.org.au coming to look at the thread? :p

Bounce rate is the percentage of visitors that come to the site, then leave straight away without visiting any other pages. So for example some click a link of google and it took them to a page, they read that page and then left opelaus domain to go to another website, then that woudl count as a bounce.

a bounce rate of 20% is good. there's nothing to be concerned with this number. only top websites like can ge sub 20's.....

After working as an eBusiness Analayst for a while and looking at web metrics, i can say that 'the' most important stat to be looking at is "Visits". Unless your really trying to refine the performance of the site, dont bother with page views or time on site.
