As a webmaster, I have the luxury of seeing the statistics from many Chicago style steppers sites. The effect on the steppers community is hidden in these reports but it is big... The numbers can be overwhelming unless you have an understanding of what is presented in the reports, and believe me when I say there are lots of reports of every type, and each report tells a different story. The key is always in how they are interpreted. The basic goal of these reports are to give the webmaster/web site owner a look at who is coming to the site (Stuff like city and state and what site they came from, not personal information), where they go once they are on your site, how long they stay, and even if they are new visitors. The information is always very specific to each site and must be looked at as one would look at an individual person. One "trend" I have noticed over the years of looking over the analytics is the percentage of visitors who visit the sites from what are called "Referring Sites" in these reports. It's a fairly broad category, but the goal is to help discover where visitors come from. Google is always a big contributor to the incoming traffic on the sites I author and I am sure it's true about other sites as well. Highly specialized sites like the History of Stepping Project, rely heavily on the search engines for their traffic because people outside of the stepping community want to learn more about stepping and it's history before delving into other aspects of the dance. 50% of the incoming traffic on the History of Stepping Project website comes from search engines, and another 20% comes from SteppersUSA.Com. The rest of the traffic comes from other steppers websites that choose to provide links to the site.
One trend that is encouraging to me, is that SteppersUSA has become sort of a "Steppers Google". In most of the sites I read reports from, this site generates more traffic for the other sites than Google does. SteppersUSA has become a true hub of Chicago style stepping on the web.
