Economics Web Site Activity - December 2000

Economics Web Site Activity
December 2000

Overall activity on the site was a bit down from last month due to two factors. The site typically sees a decline in visitation as we approach the Christmas holidays, this year was no exception. It appears the drop was particularly felt in education accounts, although visits from government and military domains also virtually disappeared around that time. The second reason was internal, we lost server access around December 16th due to a technical problem. Speaking of glitches, our access logs this month did not support meaningful browser or search engine reports. The remaining report shows however that usage patterns closely followed those seen last month.

Top Entry Pages

This section identifies the first page viewed when a visitor visits this site. This is most likely your home page but, in some cases, it may also be specific URLs that visitors enter to access a particular page directly. The percentages refer to the total number of visitor sessions that started with a valid Document Type. If the session started on a document with a different type (such as a graphic or sound file), the file is not counted as an Entry Page, and the session is not counted in the total.

Most Active Countries

This section identifies the top locations of the visitors to the site by country. The country of the visitor is determined by the suffix of their domain name. Use this information carefully because this information is based on where the domain name of the visitor is registered, and may not always be an accurate identifier of the actual geographic location of this visitor. For example, while a vast majority of .com domain names are from the United States, there is a small minority of domain names that exist outside of the United States.

Organization Breakdown

This section provides a breakdown by types of organizations (.com, .net, .edu, .org, .mil, and .gov.) This information can only be displayed if reverse DNS lookups have been performed, and the percentages refer to the total of hits for which the organization type can be determined (some IPs cannot be resolved to a domain, and therefore an organization type cannot be determined).

Summary of Activity by Time Increment

This section helps you understand the bandwidth requirements of the site by indicating the volume of activity in kilobytes transferred. The table provides various measures of activity by unit of time for the report period (the unit of time depends on the amount of time covered by the report, and will be the day in most cases).

Activity by Time Increment (Bandwidth)

Activity Level by Day of the Week

This section shows the activity for each day of the week for the report period (i.e. if there are two Mondays in the report period, the value presented is the sum of all hits for both Mondays.) Values in the table do not include erred hits.

Activity Level By Day of the Week

Activity Level by Hour of the Day

This section shows the most and the least active hour of the day for the report period. The second table breaks down activity for the given report period to show the average activity for each individual hour of the day (if there are several days in the report period, the value presented is the sum of all hits during that period of time for all days). All times are referenced to the location of the system running the analysis.
