I'm not such a stats freak. But when Google unleashed Google Analytic some weeks ago, I installed it on the main nucleuscms.org site. Some interesting findings are collected in this post.
Goal Conversion
Google Analytics allows you to set up "goals", and track how much visitors are "converted" to that goal. For the Nucleus CMS site, the only appropriate goal I could think of was the downloads page. While visiting the downloads page is in no way an indication that the visitor will actually download the package, it does give an idea of how much visitors have the intent to download.
The goal conversion (amount of visitors of downloads page / total visitors) for the "Download" goal is at a steady 13-15%.
Browsers
Internet Explorer is still used by about 50% of the visitors. Luckily, 97% of these are using IE6, which is good news. Firefox -- at 39% --, has a wider range of different versions.
Countries
Fascinating: almost 11% of our visitors is from Japan.
Version Check
In the Nucleus admin area, one can click the version number to do a manual version check. When the admin area is linked from the main site, this link is often followed by search engine bots, giving a global idea of which Nucleus versions are most common:
If this graph is representative, it indicates that 40% of the users are still using v3.2 or v3.21...
Maybe we need an automatic check which starts displaying a message once the version is out of date. This check could run when visiting the admin area, if the previous check was more than e.g. 7 days ago. The result (+date of last check) could be stored in the database.
