You are not alone!

Left things to the last minute? Still think you’ve loads of time left? Don’t worry, you’re not alone…

theleavingcert.com ranks no.1 on google.com and google.ie for the terms ‘the leaving cert’. We also no.1 in google.ie for ‘leaving cert’ and no.2 in google.com for ‘leaving cert’. As if that wasn’t enough, we also rank highly for other related terms like ‘leaving cert notes’ and ‘leaving cert english’ etc…

So when it comes to statistics on how popular the leaving cert is and what you guys are searching for, we have them all. First of all, here’s a weekly chart of our traffic from 1st september right up to may 30th (today).

theleavingcert.com traffic

As you can see, pretty consistent with one noticeable dip and once very noticeable rise. The dip was at christmas time. Naturally enough, you guys are off and i should think not studying :mrgreen: We’ll forgive you πŸ˜‰

The sharp rise has come in the past week or two. This is when people start panicking. Schools probably out, you’re on your own and bricking it. So you search the web for help – any help at all and you end up at this place πŸ™‚ That’s why traffic to this site has quadroupled from the ‘norm’.

From September to May, over 20,000 of you have logged on to theleavingcert.com and you’ve looked at over 50,000 of our delightful pages. You’ve spent 1 minute, 44 seconds on average on the site and 90% of you have come to the site from google.

67% of you use Internet Explorer. So that means 67% of you won’t be going on to do an IT course πŸ˜‰

Anyway, you are a mere statistic to me and to the state too. So is your leaving cert result. I’ll be sitting here in September mulling over the results and the stats. If you don’t want to be a statistic, now is the time to knuckle down and do something about it – be one of the guys or gals that actually gets their names printed in papers and stuff…

Don’t be one of the 50,000 odd people who’s results will make up a pie chart πŸ˜‰ Pressure very much on – the stage is yours, this is your time…. lights, camera, action….

3, 2, 1 and we’re LIVE….. do your thing.

  1. Well that was the most unhelpful retarded article I ever read. It gives absolutely no advice. Sort it out.

  2. “67% of you use Internet Explorer. So that means 67% of you wonÒ€ℒt be going on to do an IT course”

    Funny stuff, made it worth the read.

    Nice article, to the person above perhaps you should actually be studying instead of posting a reply which probably took longer to write and post than actually reading the article.
