Our site webstats

John Thomson · Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2007 9:45 pm Post subject: Our site webstats

I thought I would share this with you guys.........I have a program which runs in the back ground analysing who looks at our site.
We now have 60 registered forum users........a hard core of around 30 check in every day.........but look as these graphs.........the blue column is 'unique hits', this is people who look but are anonymous.....i.e. people who are not registered but look....463 of them yesterday!!!......lots of interest in our little forum Laughing

sorry to be an anorak but I like to know how were are doing

Very Happy

John you must feel good at how the club has taken off!

You and Marcella have to take the credit. Well done and thank you. cheers

Thanks Debbie Embarassed

it's a great hobby, I just wish I could be so enthusiastic about my work! Do you think a Scottish Cesar might work?........nah I didn't think so Laughing

A dog trainer in a kilt would be too much!

It's a great site, is nice to be able to come on and chat about all things doggy (and sometimes not doggy!). It's a great club to be part of too, congrats to you both. Laughing

Our son logs in at work when he is on night sift and our daughter logs in at work to show people pictures of Buster. Our son said he was on one morning at 5 o'clock and there were other people on the site.

Kendal,
no I didn't think it would take off as it has.......we now have 60 members on the forum..it has only been going 4 months........at the club we have around 60 members who attend.

Lots of the people who contribute to the forum have not yet been to a class.........they might come and think that the club and me are cr*p...........I hope not.

This is a great hobby for me..........if I didn't enjoy it so much I wouldn't do it...I shudder to think how much time Marcella and I have spent....all worth it though.

I'm always open to suggestions as to how the site can be improved.............

have you got your robot text files updated? Have you registered with Yahoo and Google for their webmaster search engine optimisation schemes?

Other things members can do to help...is link drop. If you just post the link all over the net its called spamming, but if you can find any and all opportunities to mention the site to other people via message groups and forums...it helps the search engine rankings.

Also if you don't have a website of your own...and you are on another forum which has a similar set up to this board, you can put the website link to here in your profile. These are usually picked up by search engine spiders too...and again help site ranking

Those stats are looking good John.

We use the same one to see how our website is doing.

Website management becomes addictive, doesn't it John? Wink

Nice to see where people are linking to your site from too.

Hi Cassandra,

thanks for that.....we now have a robots.txt file uploaded....

I also seem to have stopped all the spammers registering , the email verification had stopped them posting but since I uploaded a 'hack ' to the site they seem to have stopped Very Happy

phpBB boards seem to be particularly susecptable to spammers at the moment. I seen alot of the forums just shut because the owners don't know how to stop em....so well done there!

Its a shame cos the software is really easy to use and most servers offer it as a click here to install rather than having to upload all the files via ftp.

Am a fan of simplemachines at the moment Very Happy
