I. TRAFFIC

TRAFFIC is measured by the # of unique visitors per month which means the average # of FIRST-TIME VISITORS of a blog.

(1) Pageviews per User – the average number of blogsite pages viewed by a site visitor;

(2) Time on Site – how long, in minutes, the average visitor stays on the blogsite;
