Magnus -
If you'd be willing to get me access to the google analytics, I'd be willing to cull through them and do some analysis. I think any of the data found would be useful to the group at large (thoughts of what everyone would like to see, what's important would be helpful/encouraged).
I've noticed in doing the analytics analysis for 2Q that many pages under postgres.org/ drive a decent percentage traffic to our site and it varies slightly from month to month which pages are most popular.

Regardless of how people download Postgres, at some point they do need to come to the site, e.g. for documentation or community support, etc. It would be good to see the trendline for website growth, not only as a metric of more Postgres "awareness" but we can also break down the results further and analyze what people are actually looking at on the website.
