Following up on popular requests (well, Derek), I’ve added some website stats this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

These should be taken with a grain of salt — actually, a bucket-load of salt.<\/p>\n

We are increasingly using Clicky to measure our web traffic and that’s the only system we use on the campaign pages.<\/p>\n

The Clicky code has not been placed on every single page on LabourStart.org (the news site), but it should also give a good indication of the number of actual visitors to the live<\/em> section of the website.<\/p>\n

So, why is 1&1 giving a much larger number?<\/em><\/p>\n

Hard to tell — some of that is, strangely enough, “internal traffic” from 1&1’s own servers, a lot of it will be robots and spammers.<\/p>\n

Over time, we’ll put the Clicky code on even more pages on our site to try to make sure that we’re not missing anything, but we’re certainly not missing traffic to our home pages in the various languages.\u00a0 (Except French, which only moved over to the new system in mid-month, and is therefore missing Clicky stats for the first part of the month.)<\/p>\n

Starting next month, we’ll be able to compare, to note any increases if they happen.<\/p>\n

Already, interesting to note fairly high traffic from countries which don’t play a big role in our campaigns, but seem to come visit our news pages — Indonesia and India in particular.\u00a0 I can’t really explain the surge in interest from South Korea to our campaigns pages — it didn’t translate into people signing up to campaigns in Korean, though perhaps they were directed to a different language by a link somewhere.\u00a0 (75 people from South Korea did sign the English language message to Ban Ki-moon.)<\/p>\n

The most important day, all three sets of statistics agree on this, was Monday, 23 September — the day we launched our campaign targetting UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.\u00a0 Somewhere between 12,000 and 34,000 trade unionists visited LabourStart on that day.<\/p>\n
