Tracking
Many of or
visitors accessed only one page (Figure 6), and then for only less than
10 seconds (Figure 7). This suggests that many of our visitors accessed
our site and either were able to get information quickly, or realized
they
were at the wrong site. Still, almost 5000 visitors viewed two pages or
more
and about 2000 hits stayed for more than 10 seconds.
