Hi guys,
I thought it'd be cool to have a place to share May blog stats. May is the first full month my blog has been operational and my basic stats are as follows. I hope to continue growing but I seem to have plateaued as far as my daily stats for the last couple weeks. Anyways, here they are!
Visits: 1,141
Avg. Visit Duration: 00:04:22
Any comments or insights a new blogger wouldn't understand?

Not a bad first month at all! The thing that I see as a plus is that people are spending almost 5 min on your site! That's pretty good!

Great job Lance! 4 minutes for an average visitor is great. Keep up the good work.

I think the high time on site and low bounce rate is due to the fact 99% of my traffic is referral and direct traffic and people were exploring the site the first time they came. Does anyone else want to post their May Stats, I was hoping to get an idea of how different blogs do at different points in their growth.

Nice job. Especially on a relatively low new visitors rate in just 1 month.

Please don't kick me, Lance…. I promise I'm trying to help.
Your Analytics code is in your header twice. So it's counting every visit twice and giving you inflated stats. If you take your Analytics ID out of the Yoast SEO plugin settings, you'll get accurate counts for June.

Thanks for the heads up Andrea. My only question would be why wouldn't every city be counted twice instead of just one? I have a lot of odd number stats and if that was the case wouldn't they all be even? I took it out of all in one seo and left it in the google analytics plugin.

Sometimes they may click a link before the header code finishes loading, so it would only catch them once. For example, if I visited and clicked the link to the most recent post while the homepage was still loading, you'd get 3 visits from my city – one for the partially loaded page and two for the one that loaded completely.

Since Andrea has pointed out my double coding my bounce rate has gone up significantly today as I expected. I still think my visits number was accurate because Sunday is a slow day but I'll be able to figure that out more over the next week. Thanks for pointing that out Andrea, I need accruate information to gauge my blogging progress :) At least my Alexa wasn't double counting haha.

Yeah, visits should be fine, since it's coming from the same visitor… just the pageviews will be doubled and any related stats.
