MartialTalk Statistics?

[Ceicei]

Bob,
Do you keep MartialTalk statistics? A few websites I visit will display their website statistics. I would like to see that here, just out of curiosity. I wonder if you have pie or bar graphs to compare these stats monthly? Some examples I am thinking are:

Average hits per month
Number of new members joining per month

Hi Ceicei,
Good question. I've got partial info up at http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/adrates.shtml, and in the past used to post monthly reports in the announcements forum. I'm in the process of putting a more complete "history", hopeully will have it up in a few days (once I process the April logs)

 

[Ceicei]

Cool! Thanks for the link! I'm looking forward to your "more complete history" when it is ready. I was wondering because it seemed that traffic had sort of slowed lately?

The start of the good weather in the US and Canada causes a little dip each year. We're averaging 6 new members, 423 active members, 496 posts and 25 threads per day.

I need more hours per day to keep up with the number of posts per day!

move to Mars?

 

[Ceicei]

Then we can get our first Martian Martial Artist here on MartialTalk!

Bob, how's the number crunching going?

I'm the Grandmaster of the ancient Martian martial art of Barsoom-do. I can sell you a Red Belt (our equivalent of the Black Belt) for just 30 Martian dollars.

<<thinking>>
How much Earth currency (specifically US dollars) will convert to 30 Martian dollars?

- Ceicei

 

[arnisador]

It caries throughout the Martian day, but the current rate is ten-to-one, so...$300. We accept gold and indentured servants.

Ok, heres the list.

Note: 2001 stats were lost when the server was wiped out Dec. 2001
2002 June and December had incomplete stats.
I didn't count hits until 2004

Anyhoo, enjoy: http://www.silverstarsites.net/scn/martialtalk.htm

Thanks for the link! It provided A LOT of information. Are the April 2005 figures correct? :idunno: That is a BIG drop in # of visitors and page hits. In the past two years, the April months showed increases over March. This year broke the trend. Did we have a lot of down time lately?

- Ceicei

 

[Bob Hubbard]

No down time in quite a while. Now, while it was a big drop, it's Mays numbers that will tell the tale, temporary or real. Also, some traffic has switched to Kenpotalk, but that isn't enough to fully explain the drop here.

Interesting. Thanks for the stats.
