Measurement Why It Isn’t Enough
Visitors Unless you remove them, can include employees Just a traffic stat – doesn’t measure visitor value Double counts
Unique Visitors Like total visitors, may include employees Just a traffic stat
Pageviews Shows the page was served, but doesn’t indicate action
Unique Pageviews (Uniques)
Pages/Visit Is this really indicative of your goals? Know your personas.
New Visits Subject to cookie deletion
Time on Site (Visit Duration)
Tabbed browsing and server timeouts make these difficult to track with accuracy
Bounce Rate
