CFB Zealot Analytics

Carolyn Todd, author of the Penn State blog View From The Stands, turned me onto Google Analytics as a free way to track many things involving your website. I signed up for the service very late on June 10th so we basically have 10 days of data. I find the information very informative (but I am probably in the minority on that) and  I might share this info weekly or monthly depending on if there is any interest in it.

- We have had visitors from 41 different states.
- We had more Android users than iPhone users.
- Visitors connected to us through Android, iPhone, iPad, iPod, Blackberry and Samsung mobile devices.
- Linkers from the Toledo Rockets website Let's Go Rockets spent the longest amount of time on the site.

*these are the top college football websites that drove traffic to our site. I am not including google (wish was the number one method outside of direct contact to the site), feedburner (rss feeds, readers, etc) and twitter which all would have ranked in the Top 10.

Great post, Kevin! I'm a stats guy so I love seeing this. Can't believe the site gets that much love from Toledo fans. Oh well, at least there's more Android and iPhone users. lol

I have 5 MAC previews up so that is probably why the Toledo fans spent the most amount of time on the site. They are scouting their opponents!
