@tomw @msprout FWIW, I've been running a mobile tech news blog since 2008, and while traffic patterns have changed a lot over the years, the homepage is still one of my most viewed pages. But it's true that only a small portion of visitors come to the site directly. The vast majority of our traffic comes from search engines. Some people search for the name of the site. Others probably read an article then click the homepage. Most probably read an article then leave. 3 comments
 @bradlinder @msprout Yeah, home and about pages are still high in views (so "no one is looking at it" was an exaggeration on my part), but they're rarely the entry point, they're where a minority of people go to find out more about this site they have landed on @tomw @msprout Fair. I would say that it's not necessarily the place where you'll make a first impression, but for folks that are looking to stock around, you want them to be nice and informative. I've found that since the shift to mobile, what's next to useless is the sidebar. Place as much info as you want about the site I'm the sidebar, and maybe some desktop users will notice, but good luck getting mobile visitors to scroll down and find it! |
