I just checked out my recent web stats for http://www.iamtq.com , and it's all looking good, with loads of unique visitors per day, however when i go down a little and check out some other stats, 117 of the 170 unique visitors stayed for between 0-30 seconds!

It must be all about first impressions or something, but could someone please give me some tips on how to improve this figure, maybe some suggestions for the first page of the website etc

Make it a bit more obvious where you want them to go...

how do you find out about how many visitors u get? Is there a website that tells you your stats?

... presuming you aren't taking the piss, your webserver keeps traffic logs, you can get apps which analyze these logs and present them in a graphical format.

Most hosting services provide some form of stats analysis, though not always the greatest or most in depth by any means. Check with them to see if you currently have them available in your package.

If not add something like www.sitemeter.com to your page(s)

the left part (with the monitor) and right part with content are lining up on most pages. looks a little weird. oh, and the list of "printing, web design" etc looks like a menu, but it's not. that's confusing. now that i've given you unasked for criticism....

the site is gorgeous, but it strikes me as a brochuse site. i dont know hom much more someone will get out of it beyond a short time. the content is straight forward, etc. you want them to browse and contact you, not necessarily hang out, right? i guess my point is that 30 second visits are only bad if they're leaving for the wrong reasons.

The site strikes me as a bit template monster-ish.

For stats, check out urchin.com...works well, and they're one of the best in the biz.

I like this, you will probably find that most of the visitors are coming from here in which case we take a quick look then close the window.
