Hi all,

While updating the Q4 goals [1] for the Wikipedia.org Portal Team today, I wanted to see where we currently are with the bounce rate of visitors to the portal and found some really good news on our dashboard [2].

Back in December 2015, we had approximately 60% of our visitors to the portal page arrive and then leave without doing anything (bounce rate). We also had about only 30% of the portal visitors doing a search on the page and other actions were much lower. 

Now, as of March 22, 2016, our bounce rate is down to 44% and the searches are up to 42%. Which is a very nice improvement (due to many explainable and unexplainable things) and it shows that our numbers are certainly moving in the right direction. Woohoo! 

Check out this image [3] for the pretty dashboard stats picture.  :)

Happy Friday!

Deb
