Website statistics

This page contains website statistics for North Lincolnshire Council's website - www.northlincs.gov.uk.

The council takes part in an independently run web user satisfaction survey. Every fifth visitor to the website has the chance to complete the survey. It aims to find out what users think of the site. For more information visit the website satisfaction statistics page.

Listed below are the following headline statistics for each month:

1. Number of page views.
2. Number of visits.
3. Percentage availability.

Where we have the statistics we have provided a comparison for the years 2004/2005 and 2003/2004.

Please note: We exclude visits from high volume web crawlers, such as Google and MSN, from these figures. These usually comprise up to 40 per cent of the total page views on our website. We also exclude visits from council staff accessing the website at work.
