<p>I'm only just starting, and the seven visitors that came to my site from search engines spent an average on 42 seconds on the site.</p> <p>(You can get this information from Google Analytics by using the Segments option)</p> <p><img src="http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/7915/segments.png" alt="alt text" /></p>

<p>We use <a href="http://getclicky.com/140136" rel="nofollow">Clicky</a> for our analytic software, its a pretty simplistic view like Google Analytics, so I don't know if they measure things differently, but here's how EpicAdvice compares. This is a filtered view with JUST search engine traffic. </p> <p><img src="http://jesta.us/images/timeofsearchtraffic.png" alt="Statistics" /></p>

<p>I would imagine that statistics about incoming searches are quite poor for most SE sites right now, simply because it takes a while to get indexed by Google. On my site (mathoverflow.net, which has been up for 3 weeks), Google only started crawling the site about a week and a half ago and started indexing pages only in the last couple of days (or so I gather from Google webmaster tools). Only 4% of the traffic has come from searches in the past week, and almost all of that has been people typing one of the following into Google: "mathoverflow", "mathoverflow.net", or "math overflow".</p> <p>Weirdly, my search engine traffic seems to consist of my most dedicated users:</p> <pre> Pages/Visit: 14.04 (Site Avg: 6.59 ) Avg. Time on Site: 00:18:49 (Site Avg: 00:07:34) Bounce Rate: 12.79% (Site Avg: 36.07% ) </pre>

<p>Since the beginning of time for Search Visitors:</p> <ul> <li>Bounce rate: 70%</li> <li>Avg. time on site: 2:17</li> <li>Pages per visit: 2.91</li> </ul> <p>I assure you the numbers get much worse if you take out people who were explicitly searching for moms4mom rather than people who just typed a question in. For people who just typed a question in, we're close to a 90% bounce rate.</p>
