Pageviews per unique

**NBF** · 09-07-2006, 12:20 PM

Hey all,

How many pageviews per unique do your forums get? This is one of the main reasons that advertisers dislike forums since there are too many impressions per unique visitor.

We are around 10 right now. I am happy with that - I don't want it any higher.

What about your forums?

For my two big forums in August:

1. 9.59
2. 34.17

On the second one, I went back an entire year, it is always between 25 and 35 for some reason.

Any reason why you want them around 10? Is there really anything you can do about it?

Yes, you can get more unique traffic.

Your regular members will most likely view more than 10 pages per visit, but the guests and casual members will even it out.

Private advertisers don't like wonky pageviews/uniques ratios. They would rather spread their impressions across more unique visitors. You can offer frequency capping for the benefit of your advertisers.

The second site you mentioned - does that have a tight userbase (ie. more returning that unique)?

The second site gets between 1,500 and 2,000 uniques per day. My guess is that there are maybe 250 members each day that stop by. Those are the ones that are logged in, who knows about others. Most of the users are young, between 13 and 15 for the most part, and they tend to hang around a long time and post a lot. I would assume that is the reason why the pageviews per unique is so high.

One of my forums, is around 15.02

hrm... my forum its closer to 2.5 pageviews per unique. And I have a dozen very active members It shows ive had 83 members on in the last 24 hours. That means Im getting a lot of in and out traffic, huh. Is that good or bad?
