[Sigia-l] Less than one-minute visits

[John O'Donovan-INTERNET]

Is it possible to say which site this is? I understand this may not be possible...

Some things that spring to mind are that people are visiting the site to find out contact information or perhaps information that is readily displayed on the front page. Is there a latest news section or other info they head to quickly? Perhaps you can indicate where they do go when they are scanning the site?

It is difficult to tell without knowing what type of content the site is trying to provide and how long you think they *should* be staying or what they should be looking at.

I've noticed this in the logs for my portfolio site. It seems to mean that
people are clicking around to get a sense for (a) what the site is about (b)
quickly scanning content and (c) checking for recent changes. People usually
click through about 10 pages before they leave.

Can you trace the users' paths through the site? You may find that this is
what your site visitors are doing.
