I have done some basic reports on the IORR.org web traffic. More than one million people visited IORR last year. Actually closer to two million people online last year. Every month these people visited IORR an average of half a million times, with a peak of +30% in visits during the summer tour per month. See number of visits and where the people come from below. There are visiters from almost every country in the world, more than 130 countries in the list.
Update info: The following is just 50% of the IORR web site traffic:
I did not add all parts of the IORR web to the above analysis, but when I did another analysis adding another part of the IORR web I got these numbers:
As you see the last week of March is increasing a lot, simply because those pages that I did not add to the above measures are now also included. There are tens of thousands of pages on IORR with more than ten years history so it is easy not to take all parts of the web into account when doing a quick reasearch into the actual visitor numbers...
I keep all analysis of the IORR web on an anonymous level due to respect of the privacy of the individuals, but it is quite interesting to see how some visitors spend their time on IORR. Some numbers from the IORR visits yesterday, i.e. from one single day:
15 persons spent the entire day on IORR, doing 10 or more visits on IORR. A visit is defined by half an hour breaks. Visitors having more than 10 visits i.e. coming in on IORR more than 10 days are extreme superusers, they are 100% hooked on IORR. They do nothing else, not much. Then we have those who are very very hooked on IORR, with 4 or more visits during the day. Yesterday there were more than 700 powerusers, i.e. people who went into IORR four times or more during the day, typically one time in the morning, two times during the day, and one time in the evening.
The most busy single person on IORR yesterday had 783 clicks i.e. was browsing around on IORR clicking on 783 links (pages), spending several hours on IORR. Still this was less than 1% of the total number of clicks - page views - yesterday.
There were 208 people staying on IORR for more than one hour non-stop clicking and browsing yesterday. In normal business life for a web site that is the most valuable visitors for a web site i.e. those who are your best customers. The average visit duration on a "standard" web site is 6 minutes, give or take 1-2 minutes.

This is a quick cut&paste of USA numbers. Last week.
I believe AOl is a provider i Virginia so these numbers
don't make so much sense when you look into browsing private.
If a customer had asked for this report I would have made it 9am t0o 5pm
and then I would have seen the actual states where people come on IORR.
There might be a major provider in CA too probably
Evenings I believe lots and lots in USA are on AOL etc right?
I will do the real 9 to 5 report later...
United States 27,485 33.81% 121,899
California 4,349 5.35% 20,434
Virginia 3,494 4.30% 16,302
New York 3,385 4.16% 15,598
Unknown 2,063 2.54% 6,538
New Jersey 1,673 2.06% 8,337
Illinois 1,302 1.60% 5,275
Pennsylvania 1,279 1.57% 5,917
Texas 1,139 1.40% 5,033
Massachusetts 1,006 1.24% 4,213
Florida 712 0.88% 3,075
Georgia 611 0.75% 2,884

I feel better knowing I'm one of many who didn't post.
I'm quite new to posting and message boards in general - I'm a bit shy about it sometimes, but its great finding a whole (worldwide) community of fellow Stones fanatics, so I'm slowing trying to ease myself from reader/lurker to poster!
Maybe I've break out of my reserved character and try and introduce myself to other IORR people tomorrow at Leicester Square.

Just an example. We had a customer with a landing page that should drive traffic to a sales site. They used a button as a link to where they made their business. We measured the time from people landing on the first page and until they klicked the button. Then we made two version of these pages and found out that the button was slowing down their customers on an average of 26 seconds. I.e. it took on average half a minute more for people to understand where to go with that button. Needless to say the button was redesigned immediately.

That's very interesting. I assume your company is familiar with the work of guys like Jakob Nielsen ( [www.useit.com] ), Bruce Tognazzini ( [www.asktog.com] ) and maybe Edward Tufte ( [www.tufte.com] ) ? Or do you have a different approach?
