Predicting Peak Stingray Injury Months Using Google Analytics

In this post, I want to share some data from Google Analytics for traffic to some of my more popular posts about stingrays.

As these posts are about how to treat stingray injuries, stingray protective gear, and ways to avoid stingray injuries – one can assume most people visiting these posts have been stung recently.

If you want to go along with that assumption, here are the overall peak times for stingray injuries, worldwide:

• 2018: January & Late April – August.
• 2019: May – December.
• 2020: May –

We can also filter the data by any Geographical region ID.

The biggest region I show traffic for is California, and the data is the same as above.

For Abernathy, Texas:

• 2018: April – August.
• 2019: May – October.
• 2020: May –

For Florida:

• 2018: April – July.
• 2019: April – Jun.
• 2020: May –

For Illinois:

• 2018: May – August.
• 2019: May – December.
• 2020: May –

The data goes on for basically every area in the world.  I don’t know how reliable data for Arizona is, but obviously there are a lot of tourists to California and other areas where stingrays are prevalent.

Still, most of the time I use Google Analytics to show clients how their web sites are performing and to make informed marketing decisions.  So it’s really cool to see it used for other applications.
