By special request some interesting facts and figures about Citybythelake.org
96 members, 61 of whom have made at least one post (normal ratio is about 2:1) 10 busiest posting days... 1. 82 May 8, 2008 2. 81 Dec 5, 2007 3. 80 Jan 9, 2008 4. 79 Nov 6, 2007 5. 72 Nov 30, 2007 6. 68 Oct 15, 2007 7. 66 (TIE)Nov 13, 2007 and Jan 2, 2008 8. 65 Nov 9, 2007 9. 63 Oct 24, 2007 10. 62 July 17, 2007 Since its inception, CBTL has had just over 207,000 topic views. The highest viewing month was over 20,000 during the last election cycle, in November 2007. Unfortunately the invision software doesn't track all IP hits. I think I could get that info from my server host, but I don't have it in front of me (and I can't remember that log in). Typically we get about 10 people make at least one post per day. By my highly unscientific estimations (I can see guest IPs as an administrator) there are somewhere around 25-30 regular guest readers on a normal weekday. Weekends are much slower. |

Yeah it turns out I was REALLY wrong for unique viewers (I emailed my server host, I couldn't take it anymore!)
Unique views have averaged about 160-170 during the recent weekdays. Hit counts are in the 15-18K per day range. I do not have a number to distinguish bot type users from regular users, but if we look at something like the 80-90% ratio that I just noted previously, that means we're in the vicinity of 150 people looking at the site each day. When our viewing audience is pretty limited in a town of 30,000 people, that isn't bad at all, especially when this site was founded only in Dec of 2006 with about 5 people to start with. |

Considering the numbers, that's like a national message board having 1.5 million viewers daily. There would have do be webmasters who would kill for numbers like that. Not to mention this place is addictive. I'd think the numbers would just continually go up. |

Not to mention this place is addictive. I'd think the numbers would just continually go up. Yeah, when you start eliminating breakout groups and putting the viewers size in perspective, the numbers are really impressive. First of all the viewing audience is pretty well limited when you consider Michigan City is a town of 30,000 people. Pretty much if you are living, or haven't lived there, why would you care? Next you get to eliminate those without computers. In a town with as significant of a population in poverty, that is probably a pretty sizable number. Next up lop off the extremes of the age brackets in the very young, and mostly likely, the very old. Then there is probably a little statistical duplicity to be factored in, such as two people using the same computer, which is probably offset by one person who accesses on two different computers (work and home) such as myself. What does all of that babble mean? We are hitting a pretty sizable portion of our target audience. Even if it isn't directly from reading here, the people that are reading here are most likely taking bits of information back to other people they know to talk about. My biggest goals of becoming a source of community education and an open discussion area are being realized, I believe. |
