The pitfalls of pageviews
PAGEVIEWS ONLY MEASURE THE PROVOCATIVENESS OF A LINK,
BUT NOT THE QUALITY OF THE CONTENT WITHIN IT.
THE HARD WORK YOU DO MATTERS A WHOLE LOT. PEOPLE WANT TO
READ GREAT CONTENT ABOUT IMPORTANT TOPICS.
WE CAN PROVE IT. WE PULLED TENS OF MILLIONS OF USER SESSIONS
FROM OVER THREE MONTHS, AND WE FOUND...
Most reads per click

Least reads per click

OBAMA
OBAMACARE
D.C.
ZIMMERMAN
SNOWDEN
TRAYVON

SYRIA
GOP
WALMART

PUBLIC
QUALITY CONTENT THAT WAS NEWSWORTHY AND PROVIDED REAL
VALUE RECEIVED THE HIGHEST VISITOR ENGAGEMENT.
Relationships matter
IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE CONTENT ON THE PAGE.
IT’S ABOUT THE PEOPLE ON THE PAGE, TOO.
GROWING AN AUDIENCE IS ABOUT TWO THINGS: GETTING NEW
PEOPLE IN THE DOOR AND GETTING THEM TO COME BACK.

UUUUUU

U

UUUUUU
LOOKING AT TRAFFIC DATA FROM THE CHARTBEAT UNIVERSE, WE SEE
A BIMODAL DISTRIBUTION OF ‘NEW’ AND ‘LOYAL’ VISITORS.
THAT’S FANCY TALK. WHAT WE MEAN TO SAY IS...
One set of websites has
about 75% of their visitors
coming from external links—
say Facebook or Twitter.

75%
COME FROM
EXTERNAL LINKS
These websites do a great job of attracting
new visitors, but their challenge is bringing
visitors back.

75% COME FROM
EXTERNAL LINKS

t

GET VISITORS TO
STAY LONGER
And the other set of
websites has about 75% of
their visitors coming directly
to their homepages.

75%
COME DIRECT TO THE
HOMEPAGE

HTTP://
These websites have strong core audiences,
but their big challenge is attracting more
new visitors.

75% COME DIRECT TO
THE HOMEPAGE

g

BRING IN MORE
NEW VISITORS
YOU PROBABLY FALL INTO ONE OF THESE TWO CAMPS. THE NEW
CHARTBEAT PUBLISHING HELPS YOU MEET BOTH CHALLENGES.
LET’S LOOK AT A FEW MORE NUMBERS...
On a typical website, only about 25% of the
total audience from this week will return
next week.

U
UU
UUU
That’s bad enough, but also only 5% of
new visitors who hit the site this week will
return next week.

U
Attract the right audience
IF YOU WANT TO GET PEOPLE WHO WILL COME BACK, YOU NEED TO
BRING IN PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKELY TO RETURN.
THE GOOD THING IS THAT WE CAN TELL WHICH REFERRERS SEND
VISITORS THAT ARE MOST LIKELY TO COME BACK.
The referrer makes a difference
PEOPLE WHO COME FROM TWITTER ARE ABOUT 30% MORE LIKELY TO
RETURN THAN THOSE WHO COME FROM FACEBOOK.
Engaging content brings people back
WE KNOW VISITORS’ ENGAGEMENT HAS A STRONG CORRELATION
WITH THEIR PROPENSITY TO RETURN.
PROBABILITY OF RETURNING NEXT WEEK

Engagement and Propensity to Return
60%

50%

40%

30%

20%
0:00

1:00

2:00

AVERAGE ENGAGED TIME DURING FIRST VISIT

3:00
VISITORS WHO READ AN ARTICLE FOR THREE MINUTES RETURN TWICE
AS OFTEN AS THOSE WHO READ FOR ONE MINUTE.
Measure quality
THE BEST BAROMETER FOR QUALITY—NOT JUST OF CONTENT, BUT
ALSO OF USER EXPERIENCE—IS ENGAGED TIME.
First impressions count
MAKE SURE VISITORS COMING FROM YOUR BEST REFERRERS HAVE
THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR CONTENT.
The holy grail of homepage direct
PEOPLE WHO COME VIA THE HOMEPAGE COME ABOUT TWICE AS
OFTEN AS OTHERS AND READ 3X MORE ARTICLES.
THAT’S HOW YOU BUILD A LOYAL AND RETURNING AUDIENCE.
That’s just some of what the
new Chartbeat Publishing can do.
We’d love to show you more.
