A question of Hits.

Kai

Whats considered a good amount of hits. i have a tourism site and its consistently getting 100 or more unique hits everyday and each person averages around 5 - 6 page view. In the grand scheme of things is this a high or low number ?

It depends on the amount of search engine optimisation you've done, the number and position in search engine results of your site for certain words and the size of the geogrpahcial region you are covering and perhaps the age of the content on the site. Much of a muchness really.

It depends what you are trying to achieve with the site.

search.ie can get approx 9000 hits per day (3000 page views), while our main site will only get a fraction of that.

Click here for stats on travel.ie (you can get info on any site from there and compare it with yours).

There are limitations - but it's free info on your competitors, and if you make sure you compare like with like you could deduce something informative from there.

Alexa is not much use in real terms, as it only shows hits from users with their toolbar installed.

For websites in the top 1,000 alexa is great for seeing how your competitors are doing.

Below 10,000 and it starts to get very dodgy.
