Why do you click through to Fish Ranger from this forum rather than access it directly?
Hi All, Firstly I want to say thank you for the many users of this site who have adopted Fish Ranger as their primary weather site/app. The support and feedback I have received from Fishwrecked users is both pleasing and very helpful.
I am however trying to understand why many users access Fish Ranger via links on this forum rather than accessing it directly? It seems a much harder way to use the site as you need to come here first.
From PC you can bookmark any page of the site via your browser or just bookmark the main page www.fishranger.com.au
On Android you can install the App from the Play store - play.google.com/store/apps/details
On iOS you can install the WebApp directly from the website using Safari (click the link down the bottom of page - Install WebApp) - BTW iOS App should be released late April.
But from Google analytics I see that many users access the site via clicking on links from this forum (and Facebook btw), and I'm just trying to understand why thats the case - Do you have trouble accessing the site via the more direct methods above? Do you not know they all exist? If I understand whether or not there is an issue I can look at addressing it.
Thanks again,
Joe

Do the analytics just give
Do the analytics just give you a stat for each time the site is accessed through this forum or does it tell you who also? I think you'll find all those hits might be first time clickers to your site and not repeating ones, just an assumption. I had never heard of your site until the post here and now it is bookmarked on my browser and phone

Not that detailed
Hi Beau,
The stats are not that detailed unfortunately, they just tell me total number. You may be right that it is new users browsing through the forum however given the last posts with site links were on for some time and the click through rates remained high it seemed odd, I would have thought if it is new forum readers browsing then click through would drop off as the posts age since they are no longer as popular.
Thanks for bookmarking, please help spread the word!
