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
