Is this some sort of Mission Impossible style Binary Code which can be utilised in the hacking of Tom Cruise's Chastity Belt!?

Saruman

Wow DeVore.. looks like an Equation for the answer to life the universe and everything... You could have saved yourself a lit of time and put down =42

DeVore

for the feeble minded and those lacking in stat-reading SKILL0RZ
I have formatted it a bit better. Its the end of month
report of our traffic and page impressions.

I'd love to dare other websites to actually put this sort of stuff online instead of lying about their readership.

Easy to say when you're not running an advertising-supported site, Tom. Marketing people don't really know their way around these figures, and it's very difficult to explain to them that actually, those "hits" figures your rival site is pulling out are meaningless and your "pageviews" are much more relevant... All they see are two numbers, and one is bigger than the other.

(This being said, I try to be as honest as possible and to get ad sales people to do the same about figures on sites I'm involved with. It's just not always a winning strategy in the short term, but I think gaining trust in the long term is more important...)

DeVore

MT: Ignore the march numbers they are just the last bit of march being included in the april figures (just as the last bit of April is not included, hence the numbers for the last 7 days look like a decrease recently if you look at them carefully).

The number of page views for March was just over 1Mil so we've about a 20% growth on March.

If Ireland.com really goes PPV as they are announcing, I wonder how long it will be before we exceed them

Shiinji, yes I understand your point alright, though even when we were selling ads we always showed the actual figures without inflating them.

The obligatory graphic.

DeVore is there an artificial / technical limit (other than spamming ability ) being reached between 13:00 and 16:00 (I understand with averages that peaks and dips may be averaged out here). Do you want to study this over a few days?

I never thought rush hour had such an effect.

We need to create a target for night time users . An "After the pub hours board"

The blue end sections are 'next'/'previous' days.

Victor

Work seems to affect Tuesday, alcohol and lack of free net access seems to affect the weekend.

Victor

I did some analysis and 82 user accounts have done 38% of all posts (historically). A further 589 users accounts have done 43%.

Note 27,603 [edit]posts[edit] are unaccounted for (muppets, banned, deleted, corrupt, community and so on) and are included with those where people have one post.

Details here:

MiCr0

are you going to name names?

Terminator

Page views may not be the most accurate indication of visitors. If you consider the boards ticker which a lot of use all day in work. This refreshes something like every minute.

That could seriously bump up the page view count.

I don't think so - the server still isn't really breaking a sweat.

I'd really prefer that people didnt go off and spam anywhere, I never look at the total post counts and threads even here let alone on P45.net.
P45 is a very different beastie to us... We're the Borg, they are more hierarchical...

Good luck to p45, they've a nice community and write some funny stuff.

Hang on now, I wasnt thinking of p45 when I wrote that.
I honestly dont see us in competition really, I was thinking more about the online.ie's and ireland.com's. The commercial outfits.

And I do like to watch the growth of Boards I guess, its something I'm proud to be involved with...

I reckon we should have a time limit on posts, ie anything posted more than 3 months ago is unusable as evidence.

now!!!:p

DeVore

Actually, now that I read that again, NOTHING I said is contradictory.

I dont look at the total post count or number of users as its stated at the top of the forum list. Thats a different stat to the impressions (which I've always kept an eye on as its the single most meaningful stat we have....ie: how many pages did people read this month).

p45.net is more of an Irish "The Onion" from time to time, and the guys over there are paid to produce content which people read. I would expect their page impressions to be higher then ours and their boards to be less busy. Horses for courses.

well said DeV, Boards.ie ... 198763 points, p45.net ... -2 points!

Nothing amazing there I'm afraid - the fact that people with over 1K posts have contributed 38% of all posts? Wow... (yes, that was sarcastic).

I think finer granularity is needed for one thing.

And Micr0 - name names? Just look up the top 82 posters in members...

Cheers,
Al.

po0k

And there I was thinking that p45.net was just an extension of the revenue commisioners......

DeVore

Victor, where are you accessing those stats from?

The fact that 27,000 threads are not accounted for from 48,975 in total puts a bit of a dint in the usefulness of the figures you are producing but they are interesting all the same. How are you producing them because I dont know any way to get those figures... I can help get better stats if I know what you are looking for cos those ones seem very suspect.

Id say he means posts and not threads.

As for those states, wont VB generate those?

Our man in Havana

Do he have a total for muppets?

I am simply saying my figures don't account for 27,603 posts out of 400,000+, it's not a relection on anyone else. Cloud acknowledges that there has been some difficulty in getting VBB to recognise some old accounts / posts, in particular from the Community forum (thread recently about peoples post counts dropping).

All my figures are from what has been posts here or a searchable under 'Members' in VBB.

OK, I admit I'm a sad bored git and did a search on every user, sorted by number of posts ... mumble, mumble, mumble
