3,471 unique visitors in the last 24 hours

[Dan]

We've had 3,471 unique visitors in the last 24 hours. That's over 104,000 in a month (and cookies are stored for a while, so that is actual uniques too, not hits - hits are a little more than 612,000).

Well done to all.

This isn't a record as such, but it's close so I thought I'd boast about it.

when you say unique, do you mean different visitors Dan?

Yeah,

If we had 1 unique visitor, and they hit 10 pages, we'd have 10 hits and 1 unique.

A lot of websites boast "hits" but actually, with a forum, we naturally get a lot of hits (I think we had over 13 million hits last month) as we often visit a lot of pages, and then go back and reply to them again. So our unique visitors are the key to our stats here, and 3,700 is not bad at all in a single day. That's including those that have logged in, and those that have visited and not logged in or don't have an account here.

85% of our hits don't visit any more than the page they enter on. So it's either the wrong page for them, or it was right and they collected the info and went.

Lots and lots per day add us to their bookmarks, so I expect quite a few of those to come back later perhaps, which all gets added to another days stats. So I'm expecting a record 'day' soon, which is why I really boasted about it.

Which stats programme do you use Dan? can you see if people bookmark your site through Goggle analytics?

 

[Dan]

We use built in server stats and google analytics mate. Though without verifying the website you wont be able to get to our stats I'm afraid, and we've verified our own so no others would be able to. It'd be too much info for general tile businesses if it went live in any way.

Though you can bookmark our website, or any topic for that matter, by scrolling to the bar that goes across the website under each list of posts. So above the quick reply box you'll see a "bookmarks" bar, that includes Google Bookmarks, along with Digg, Delicious and Stumpleupon, a few other ways of following threads or spreading the word.
