What Constitutes Good Content

Not much going on with the web site, a lot of page updates and three new pages. Normally when a page gets updated it's just a minor change. Maybe a paragraph but more often it might just be defining an acronym.

Any how the site is still doing well. Yesterday was the best Monday ever for sites visits, and it had 30 more visits than last Monday which happened to be the previous best Monday ever.... The best Tuesday ever was just two weeks ago.

So the question is why are the hits increasing and how do I know which pages to work on. Analytics feeds me a ton of data but many times it's hard to know what to do with the data. Sometimes I'll update a page based on a low number of visits, but maybe a page receives no visits because their is no interest in the topic. Maybe the page content is to small to bring in any visitors, Who can say ?

I'm looking at three pages relating to HTML coding; one page had 64 hits, one had 167 hits and one had 4,000 hits this year. For the year, each of the pages did better this year than last; however there was a 22% drop during October. In any case the site has only had six different weeks this year that did not out perform last year. The current data over the last several weeks indicate this year the site is receiving about 15% more visitors over last year. Yet again, another data point only shows a 0.34% increase in page views for the entire year [+12,000 pageviews].
