Understanding Web Site Analytics
What are Web Site Analytics?
 When we put data on the internet, we can track
how that data is used or consumed by users
 Web analytics is the measurement, collection,
analysis and reporting of internet data for
purposes of understanding and optimizing web
usage
 Web Analytics shows us how people use our data
or our web site
 Helps companies see what is popular and what is not
 Helps e-commerce sites see what is popular, where
customers drop off, and if they abandon the web site as
they move through the system
 Web analytics can show us how people share data off our
site
Terminology
 Hit - A request for a file from the web server. Available only
in log analysis. The number of hits received by a website is
frequently cited to assert its popularity, but this number is
extremely misleading and dramatically overestimates
popularity. A single web-page typically consists of multiple
(often dozens) of discrete files, each of which is counted
as a hit as the page is downloaded, so the number of hits
is really an arbitrary number more reflective of the
complexity of individual pages on the website than the
website's actual popularity. The total number of visits or
page views provides a more realistic and accurate
assessment of popularity.
 Page view - A request for a file, or sometimes an event
such as a mouse click, that is defined as a page in the
setup of the web analytics tool. An occurrence of the script
being run in page tagging. In log analysis, a single page
view may generate multiple hits as all the resources
required to view the page (images, .js and .css files) are
also requested from the web server.
Terminology
 Visit / Session - A visit or session is defined as a series of page
requests or, in the case of tags, image requests from the same
uniquely identified client. A visit is considered ended when no
requests have been recorded in some number of elapsed
minutes. A 30 minute limit ("time out") is used by many analytics
tools but can, in some tools, be changed to another number of
minutes. Analytics data collectors and analysis tools have no
reliable way of knowing if a visitor has looked at other sites
between page views; a visit is considered one visit as long as the
events (page views, clicks, whatever is being recorded) are 30
minutes or less closer together. Note that a visit can consist of
one page view, or thousands.
 First Visit / First Session - (also called 'Absolute Unique Visitor' in
some tools) A visit from a uniquely identified client that has
theoretically not made any previous visits. Since the only way of
knowing whether the uniquely identified client has been to the
site before is the presence of a persistent cookie that had been
Terminology
 Visitor / Unique Visitor / Unique User - The uniquely
identified client that is generating page views or hits within
a defined time period (e.g. day, week or month). A uniquely
identified client is usually a combination of a machine
(one's desktop computer at work for example) and a
browser (Firefox on that machine). The identification is
usually via a persistent cookie that has been placed on the
computer by the site page code. An older method, used in
log file analysis, is the unique combination of the
computer's IP address and the User Agent (browser)
information provided to the web server by the browser. It is
important to understand that the "Visitor" is not the same
as the human being sitting at the computer at the time of
the visit, since an individual human can use different
computers or, on the same computer, can use different
browsers, and will be seen as a different visitor in each
circumstance. Increasingly, but still somewhat rarely,
visitors are uniquely identified by Flash LSO's (Local
Shared Object), which are less susceptible to privacy
enforcement.
Terminology
 Repeat Visitor - A visitor that has made at least one previous
visit. The period between the last and current visit is called visitor
recency and is measured in days.
 New Visitor - A visitor that has not made any previous visits. This
definition creates a certain amount of confusion (see common
confusions below), and is sometimes substituted with analysis of
first visits.
 Impression - The most common definition of "Impression" is an
instance of an advertisement appearing on a viewed page. Note
that an advertisement can be displayed on a viewed page below
the area actually displayed on the screen, so most measures of
impressions do not necessarily mean an advertisement has been
viewable.
 Single Page Visit / Singleton - A visit in which only a single page
is viewed (a 'bounce').
 Bounce Rate - The percentage of visits that are single page
Terminology
 Page Time Viewed / Page Visibility Time / Page View
Duration - The time a single page (or a blog, Ad
Banner...) is on the screen, measured as the
calculated difference between the time of the request
for that page and the time of the next recorded
request. If there is no next recorded request, then the
viewing time of that instance of that page is not
included in reports.
 Session Duration / Visit Duration - Average amount of
time that visitors spend on the site each time they
visit. This metric can be complicated by the fact that
analytics programs can not measure the length of the
final page view.
 Average Page View Duration - Average amount of
time that visitors spend on an average page of the
site.
Terminology
 Active Time / Engagement Time - Average amount of time that visitors
spend actually interacting with content on a web page, based on mouse
moves, clicks, hovers and scrolls. Unlike Session Duration and Page
View Duration / Time on Page, this metric can accurately measure the
length of engagement in the final page view, but it is not available in
many analytics tools or data collection methods.
 Average Page Depth / Page Views per Average Session - Page Depth
is the approximate "size" of an average visit, calculated by dividing total
number of page views by total number of visits.
 Frequency / Session per Unique - Frequency measures how often
visitors come to a website in a given time period. It is calculated by
dividing the total number of sessions (or visits) by the total number of
unique visitors during a specified time period, such as a month or year.
Sometimes it is used interchangeable with the term "loyalty."
 Click path - the chronological sequence of page views within a visit or
session.
 Click - "refers to a single instance of a user following a hyperlink from
one page in a site to another".[8]
 Site Overlay is a report technique in which statistics (clicks) or hot spots
are superimposed, by physical location, on a visual snapshot of the web
page.

Unlike Session Duration and Page View Duration / Time on Page, this metric can accurately measure the length of engagement in the final page view, but it is not available in many analytics tools or data collection methods.  Average Page Depth / Page Views per Average Session - Page Depth is the approximate "size" of an average visit, calculated by dividing total number of page views by total number of visits.  Frequency / Session per Unique - Frequency measures how often visitors come to a website in a given time period. It is calculated by dividing the total number of sessions (or visits) by the total number of unique visitors during a specified time period, such as a month or year. Sometimes it is used interchangeable with the term "loyalty."  Click path - the chronological sequence of page views within a visit or session.  Click - "refers to a single instance of a user following a hyperlink from one page in a site to another".[8]  Site Overlay is a report technique in which statistics (clicks) or hot spots are superimposed, by physical location, on a visual snapshot of the web page.
