request for site hit info

[TCO]

DarkosQ,

I am interested in where your traffic is concentrated. Could you give some details of this. I'd be interested in the following:

-% of traffic on forums
-% of traffic in OT
-next most hit forum after the OT
-use of the links section (are you satisfied?)
-anything else along these lines.

Doesn't have to be exact or from any particular time period. Just want to know general info.

The real-time stats tracker that you see linked to from our homepage provides everyone with a lot of publicly accessible data.

Why are you interested in this information? As per our Links section, yes we are satisfied.

I am thinking of launching a take-over of Gamestats. (joke)


Actually I'm interested becuase

1. I spend a lot of time here and want to know about this place becuase of that

2. I'm interested in general connections between virtual communities and sites with non-virtual community content.

3. Want to see how much you all have thought about the site and patterns here.

[DanQ]

I see. Well, in regards to your first question, you can have a look at the stats of our Hitbox counter to extrapolate an answer.

As for the other two, we don't really keep/have stats on that but a reasonable gauge to go by would be the number of threads and posts within those threads to arrive at an answer.

What do you think of the usage patterns, Dan? Any satisfactions/dissatisfactions? Any parralels to commercial sites that would be intersting?

what about for advertising? Is it better to have more unique visitors or a bunch of chatters who spend hours on your forums?

I can't seem to find the tracker...

[DanQ]

In response to the most recent questions from...

<U>GP</U>:

(re: usage patterns)
Satisfied that this appears to be headed in the right direction: up and up and up.

(re: advertising question)
Both are equally welcome.

It doesn't appear like an actual stats tracker, but it's there. On our homepage (and all variations thereof), look where the "Headline Options" listing is -- it's immediately to the left. It's a square black image with a blue circle and an "orbiting" white line around it. All you have to do is click it.
