Hits to the web site

Bard

Just to let you know that, after a very busy start, the hits to the web site have gone down ever-so-slightly, and it's currently racking up over 2,000 hits a week. For a web site barely 4 weeks old that hasn't had standard advertising or marketing to promote it, that's pretty damn good!

Oh- and for those who are still wondering (like a certain individual on the IIU mailing list was before!) what the URL for the IrelandOffline.com web site is... it's... er... http://irelandoffline.com

Does exactly what it says on the tin.

By the way - we've had over 10,000 hits to the site to date. It may not seem like a huge number but remember those factors again- very young site... not heavily promoted...

those hits are due to skyrocket, I'm sure, as the committee has much good work yet to do ... and show the world

Hits or page views? What about users?

it would be cool to get a breakdown of page views by domain (and user agent?)

it would also be cool to find out how many internal isp/telco ips have accessed it, but i dont know of a clearcut way to seperate em from dialups.

That's great.

And don't forget many regular visitors probably just occasionally drop into the IrelandOffline page, going directly to the forum instead.

That's great news especially for a site so new"

Dear Niall,

Congrats on the enccouraging site stats.
I dont like to interfere with a "webmaster @ work" but heres just a suggestion based on the original stats re: Browser percentages.
This cool mouseover coloured scrollbar would look really cool on the forum page especially because the scrollbar is in the centre of the page. Its totally customisable and works in IE.5+ and downgraades seeminglesly in all others. You can easily change the colours to suit those of the website and I'm using it on my site in development. The difference w/ this is that it has a mouseover effect and not simple just a different colour. See what you think!


Just place this somewhere in the body....

Just a suggestion for you to consider. I'd be interested to hear a response.
