Fu with Stats...

[JofZ]

I was a Statistics major in College and always loved numbers, so I thought I would post some Hub stats, so all of you have a better understanding of what goes on behind the scenes of a message board. It is very interesting.

We average 19,000 hits per day!

Our refferals come from:

Report: Referrals - theguitarhub.com

Interesting stats! :) And: thanks for this forum - I feel like home here more than most any other places on the net! :cool:

[K-man]

Statistics :eek:

I'm an engineer and I still couldn't stomach that class.

Cool info though.

This is a great forum I must agree with Sliding Tom, I feel at home here. Not the usual back biting and bickering.

I don't want to spoil the party but those first 90%+ "no referals" are web robots. They're a plague.
If the 19.000 hits per day were real live visits then hits to my site from my banner and threads here would normally average about 0.5% or ca 100/day.
Real live hits from guitarhub to my website average 10/month.

Also search engine statistics only say that guitarhub showed up in searches, doesn't say how high on the hit list it showed up.

This is what web robot stats (http://www.anacon-tech.com/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?month=07&year=2007&output=main&config=anacon-tech.com&framename=index) look like.

Ok, I'm putting a link to here on my site too, gotta support this cool family of ours.

Hi,

Ah, I'm not so hung about statistics and really just come,read and post.

In many ways I like the a little slower pace and cosy laidback style of this forum.

Hey can we get some new an exiting smilies?


Anyway carry on gentlemen and have fun

I'll post the robot stats for you, they are tracked seperate from real members.
As for the banner ad stats, all of that comes to me as well, I can post that for each of you as well if you want to see it.
Those that placed a link of there site get a higher rotation number on ours ;)
