Unique Visitors: The
actual number of people visiting the Expat Finland
site per month.
Number of Visits: The total
number of separate visits to the site per month.
From the figures above you can see that approximately 75%
of Expat Finland visitors are return visitors.
Pages Viewed: The total amount
of pages opened by visitors.
Ad Impressions: The total
amount of pages containing advertisements opened
by visitors.
Hits: Statistics
for 'hits' have been intentionally omitted. 'Hits' refer
to the total number of files downloaded
(ex. visiting a page with 20 images counts as 21 'hits'-
the page file plus the 20 image files. 10 visits to the page
count as 210 'hits'). Claims such as "250 000
hits a day!!" do NOT reflect the amount of people
using the site.
Origin of Expat Finland Visitors
- Direct (typed in) links are rising, partly in
response to the increasing number of people subscribing
to the Expat Finland Newsletter. 'Word of mouth'
is also a contributing factor.
- As rankings rise, Expat Finland's prominence creates
greater traffic from search engines.
- Awareness of Expat Finland's value as a resource has
prompted an increasing number of sites to link to www.expat-finland.com
