Some of you may be curious about the growth of the site since it was founded. Now that I have a full three years of data (August of 2014 through July of 2017), I can show you some things. It might be cool to update this every August with stats from the previous year. The numbers below are from the beginning of August to the end of July:
Unique visitors:
2014-15: 73,466
2015-16: 70,806
2016-17: 80,394
Keep in mind the reason unique visitors was higher in Year 1 than Year 2 is because of the coaching search period after Muschamp was fired. The traffic during that time was monstrous.
Pageviews:
2014-15: 3,646,668
2015-16: 3,967,487
2016-17: 4,815,436
So, from Year 1 to Year 3, Unique Visitors only rose 9.8%, but Pageviews rose 29.5%. People are simply surfing a lot more.
Sessions / Pages per Session / Average Session Duration:
2014-15: 486,629 / 7.49 / 12.14
2015-16: 516,575 / 7.68 / 12.20
2016-17: 627,067 / 7.68 / 12.17
Sessions are up 27.2% from Year 1 to Year 3.
Some other interesting things. This certainly shows a sign of the times - the devices used to log in to Gatorchatter:
2014-15:
Desktop: 60.0%
Mobile: 26.3%
Tablet: 13.7%
2015-16:
Desktop: 55.5%
Mobile: 32.6%
Tablet: 11.9%
2016-17:
Desktop: 45.4%
Mobile: 43.7%
Tablet: 10.9%
In Year 1, desktop usage was the majority over mobile devices at 60/40, but in Year 1 that ratio is now 45/55. More people are logging in on a mobile device.
More to come.
