The number of events with websites also seems to follow an increasing trend, but this ismore likely due to the increasing availability of web-access and the simplicity of creating a pagefor each event on sites like Facebook rather than due to anything Yuri’s Night is doing. Short ofproviding a free web host for local event organizers to host event information, it is unlikely thatthe organization could influence this metric. 40b. Website VisitsTraffic to the website is another metric useful for measuring the success of Yuri’s Nightsocial media outreach. While the social media messages themselves can provide important anduseful information, they exist to keep in touch with members of the Yuri’s Night community andto encourage more people to visit the website in order to look up and register information aboutlocal Yuri’s Night events. The website has existed since August 2010. Through May of 2013, thewebsite welcomed 604,810 unique users from a total of 649,453 visits. Additionally, most Yuri’sNight web traffic occurs on the day of Yuri’s Night itself, April 12. This may suggest that thevast majority of visitors only come to the site a limited number of times, presumably in anattempt to find a Yuri’s Night event near them.Yuri’s Night website visitors truly are global. While more visitors to the website comefrom the U.S. (167,393 visits) than from other countries, U.S. visitors account for fewer than26% of the total visits. Large numbers of visitors, 10,000 or more, came from: Iran (11.56%),India (10.64%), Pakistan (5.75%), Indonesia (2.53%), United Kingdom (2.54%), Canada(2.35%), Russia (2.33%), and Germany (1.65%). Visitors have come from 210 countries. Figures2 and 3 below provide a better idea of where the visitors to the Yuri’s Night website originate.On April 12, 2011 (the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s flight), the Yuri’s Nightwebsite clocked 34,959 visits. This was not only the most visitors the website has ever had on asingle day, but also represents almost 5.4% of the website’s total visitors from the period of 2011to 2013. 41 More people were probably interested in celebrating the 50th anniversary milestonerather than Yuri’s Night on a yearly basis. 42 April 12 in 2012 and 2013 witnessed significantlyfewer visitors, with 9,862 and 11,710 visits respectively. Looking at each cycle, the total numberof visitors was 257,445 in 2011, 192,843 in 2012, and 226,994 in 2013. Given the lack ofavailability of web traffic data for Yuri’s Night before August 2010, and the outlier effect of2011, we can really only compare web traffic from the 2012 and 2013 cycles. There was a 15%increase in visitors in 2013 over 2012, but this was 13.4% below the 2011 visitor counts. (seeTable 7).40 Yuri’s night has discussed the potential of doing this, and the concept is still underconsideration. However, it may not be necessary since the growth of Facebook events are beingused to do this in a much cheaper and simpler way.41 The 5.4% metric is current as of December 2013 but constantly dropping as the Yuri’s Nightwebsite currently averages 10,000 views a month.42 There is no way to be sure of users intentions given the scope of this study.© 2015 Astrosociology Research Institute50
