As we've been talking with other companies about JustGoFishin, it's common to find to have some people inflate there number of visitors to there site. Some knowingly, others unknowingly. I just had a company on the phone today tell me that they will get 9 million hits this year to there website. I told him that we will have about 2 million visitors to JustGoFishin. He quickly changed the subject to something else.
I just like to be straight with people and hopefully educate them along the way. When you have 1 visitor navigate to your website that will generate anywhere from 50 to 150 hits. Heavily advertised pages will generate many hits with one visitor.
At JustGoFishin, when we say were getting 5,000 visitors a day thats what we mean. We don't throw up a smoke screen and pump ourselves up by converting our visitors to hits. We could say that we get 50,000 hits a day, but we don't... that would be deceptive. We choose to measure our performance by how many actual visitors are coming to JustGoFishin.
We watch our website popularity ranking by visiting alexa.com. Alexa.com is simply a listing of all websites on the web sorted by traffic. So you can go there and see how JustGoFishin.com is ranking. You can also see how your own website is ranking.
Just for kicks we did a comparison of other well known websites in the Texas Coastal Bend.
As you can see JustGoFishin has a very strong ranking. Compared to other sites in our area. We hope this helps in taking the mystery out of how a website is performing. We hope that Everyday is a Great Fishin Day.So when someone is telling you how much traffic they are getting on there website... checkout Alexa.com.
