Google Analytics for the 12 months of 2024
We enjoyed over 5,400 Visitors in 2024, of which just over 5% were Returning Visitors, and over 5,200 were New Visitors. As we pay nobody to promote the website, do not pay Google to list or rank or click-per-view, all the visitors come to our website via their own computer, and who land on our Home Page. Undoubtedly many visitors do not stay on the website long, but Google Analytics reports that the average views per visitor was 7.36 pages (i.e. at least 7 pages) and remained on the website an average of 2 minutes and 25 seconds.
Amongst the most enthusiastic Visitors were some 937 individuals who spent an average of 58 minutes and 15 seconds of engagement time per session. on the website.
Over the sixteen years we have maintained this website, the ranking amongst those countries which contributed the largest number of visitors, the USA has always been #1, followed by Germany at #2, then various other European countries and our home country Australia. China has slowly risen in the rankings, but we were astonished to see that in 2204 the country where the most visits occurred was Poland! China and India have now reached the top ten countries as well. How times change.
Where visitors arrived on our website
The "Landing page" is what it suggests, the page on our website upon which a Visitor "landed" -- the first page they saw. The " 1 / " below is our Home Page, where most people started. Which pages they subsequently visited thereafter was not trackable.
You can see below top ten Landing Pages for calendar year 2024:
The Landing Page is not the same measurement as a web page that was the most popular for visitors. That chart showing the top ten visited pages is below. Page "1/" is our Home page. Ranked second was our Poster Gallery, which is the main purpose of the website. Third was our Poster & Book Shop, and interestingly, Ostland Film GmbH was ranked #4 over all. Our new book Hitler Youth Quex – A Guide for the English–speaking Reader was popular and the book is selling well.
Onwards and upwards!
