Traffic Increasing!

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Before the great data loss of '07, I had a topic that I was daily tracking the alexa traffic ranking of main domain of SSA. As of today the number is the best since I had alexa track our ranking.

We are currently sitting at: 978,558

before the upgrade we were hovering in the upper 99x,xxx to 115,xxx range. The closer to 1 the better.

And for SSA, it is more meaningful traffic as well. For example, if a rush of people come to the site all at once after being linked from a larger site, that increases your traffic in the short term. But is that helpful over a long period of time? Not really. Several studies have indicated that "swarm" traffic is not a good thing, but consistent growth is great.

I look forward to better and better results here.

The threads seem to be more diversified as well which is great since I get really bored with the sub only questions.

That would mean I would loose money on each driver sold.

So what exactly is the problem again?

[Godsmack 361]

I agree.............

Something about keeping the website afloat and not steering it towards financial ruin.

I hope that number jumps a little from the addition of AA.

Hopefully. For what it's worth, this is the most active forum I have seen for the number of registered members that are here.

Well I guess its better to have a larger active core, than a huge inactive member base.

Agree 100%. It's more valuable traffic. 10,000 members who hog server bandwidth and provide zero capital (whether that is of a knowledge or financial basis) are worth very little. I mean, digg.com is a perfect example of this: they are closing in on a million members and are a top 100 site on Alexa. However, their membership has high churn and the majority provide little value to the website; as such, they are still unable to get into the black. Their server bills are huge. For the Diggnation podcast, CacheFly streams 25TB per week for them.

wow

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Each day, the number of members coming by is breaking the record. That is a great sign!

I noticed the board stats don't show that anymore and I loved looking at it everyday.
