How many people are reading The Villager? Starting this quarter, we plan to periodically share a few readership statistics from our publisher, Seabreeze, to give everyone a better picture of how our magazine is reaching the Country Creek community.
A Look at the Numbers

What Do These Numbers Tell Us?
These statistics measure different ways people engage with The Villager online:
- Unique Visitors: The number of individual users who actively visit the website during the month. One person may be counted more than once if they use different devices or browsers.
- Total Pageviews: The total number of pages viewed on the website. This does not include the individual pages readers flip through inside the digital magazine.
- Average Views per Visitor: The average number of website pages viewed per active visitor.
- Magazine Reads: Qualifying sessions in which users engage with the digital magazine by flipping through multiple pages or interacting with a link.
- Average Reading Time: The average time spent reading the digital magazine.
- Magazine Downloads: The number of times readers choose to download a copy of the magazine.
No single number tells the whole story, but together these measures help us understand how people are finding and engaging with the magazine.
Where Do We Go from Here?
Our goal is to continue growing The Villager by bringing you interesting stories, useful information, and content that reflects what matters to our community. And we’d like to hear from you along the way. In the months ahead, we’ll look for opportunities to learn what you enjoy reading and what you’d like to see more of.
