NZFF

Hi guys,

With this new hosting, we have access to all sorts of website statistics, and I am planning to make a report like this one at the end of every month. If you like stats like me, you'll probably like this.

A little explanation of the below, a 'hit' is a visit to the webpage, by any user, 'hits' give us the number of times the site was visited. A 'visits' are counted in individual users, 'visits' give us the number of people who visited the site. All percentages show the trends from the previous month, to last month (i.e, 16% less members registered in November than October etc).

Thats it, hope you found it interesting.

Thats great, thanks for putting all that together for us to see, some impresive stuff there, very impresive indeed.

Thanks
James

Thanks for making the effort to compile all the stats Alex, some of those hit counts are quite high

Wow, we sure get a lot of traffic from the VOZ Multiplayer forums at digitalnexus don't we! Is there a banner or link there that I don't know about?

Also whats with the random proxy addresses? Is perhaps two single members accessing the boards from random hidden IP addresses?

I just did a quick search there for 'NZFF', and 15 or so threads popped up, the earliest about a year ago, otherwise sort of equally interspersed there. But no, I couldn't see any other sort of link to us, maybe it's just the way people browse, they go through the VOZ forums, then visit us here etc...

Possibly, but I'd say it would be more likely the way Webalizer analyses the information it gets from visitors to the site. Because it doesn't process any user-submitted options or input on the website before they come here (and why would it, really?) it can throw out some unusual results (I weed them out and make them more normal before I put them in the post above).

And also you know you can find the same thing for October, August and July as well (no September as I was on holiday and then somehow the data got corrupted for that month... ).

Good job Alex.
I run a couple of websites and get these stats too.
I'm always frustrated that "Network" and "Unresolved" are at the top end of the list - wonder if there's a way to pin 'em down.

Nice work Alex, I love stats too

Those IP addresses are Google by the way.

Interesting! Nice to know stats isn't it

Great stuff man Germany is in the top ten
