UNCPBraves.com Reaches 1,000,000-Visit Mark

PEMBROKE – UNCPBraves.com, the official Internet home for the University of North Carolina at Pembroke athletic department, reached a cyberspace milestone on Friday afternoon as it tagged and surpassed the 1,000,000-visit mark in its first year under the umbrella of the PrestoSports Network.

Designed and hosted by PrestoSports, the official web partner of the Peach Belt Conference, as well as 11 PBC-member institutions, UNCP’s athletic website was redesigned and re-launched in July of 2010. The site saw its heaviest traffic it February and March when it welcomed more than 112,000 visits in each month, but went over the 100,000-visit mark for the first time in September with more than 102,000 visits. Nearly 20,000 different computers log on to the website each month.

A ‘visit’ is a term denoting a person clicking on the website. If a fan went to the page on Sunday and then again on Tuesday it would be counted as two visits regardless of how many pages they saw during any one session. The term differs slightly from a ‘hit’ which can refer to every file or image seen on all pages over a certain period of time. Over the last 11-plus months, UNCPBraves.com has received nearly 40 million hits.
