I think it depends on the kind of web-site you are running more than anything as to which metrics are important. Just like in finance, depending on the business model, different metrics are tracked (e.g. free cash flow, revenue, etc.). Plus, hardly ever is a single metric important. Sites will look at page views for new/existing visitors, bounce rates for new visitors, time on site, etc. depending on their goals.
What this tells you, though, is that if they are only seeing 1.1 million unique visitors a month that those visitors account for 1,000 page views a month which is a lot. And that's the average! I bet a lot of sites would love to have that number.
- mrkurt 16y agoThere are definitely more stats sites care about, but question number one from CPM ad buyers is universally "what are your uniques?" They care about the specific demographics of those uniques too, but when they're doing branding (vs conversion based advertising) they really care mostly about how many distinct sets of eyeballs they can address.
