By way of comparison, it would be interesting to see how many views we had on our humble little forum last year.

I don't know about 2012, but since we started back around 10 July 2009, we have had:

Total topic views: 13707422

I don't know if that includes visits to the front page, but we're getting close to 14 million topic views.

Probably because you've had about 1000 different accounts in that time multiply that by 720

Back on topic ,everyone on here does a fantastic job and I'd reckon we probably would be at least equal with the official site with amount of volume that goes through

 

[fergiefurr]

Half the views are probably between 3.30-6.30pm on Tuesday's

Every supporter in the NRL was probably logging on to laugh at our self implosion last year.

I wonder how the amount of website hits compares to membership numbers?

You'll find there are probably abut 50-100 regular posters on this site

I hardly visited weststigers.com.au last year. This year, though, they have done a great job with updating articles and videos constantly. If they keep that up, I will be there very regularly.

I'm the same Juro. But this year has been a MASSIVE improvement, not only in the frequency of posts, but the quality too. In years gone by there were your typical off-season fluffy posts about how well the team is preparing with reused cliches and quotes from players that I'm sure were just written by Cuzzo! This year we see photos and videos every day, and diversity too, from training to interviews etc.

I've been traveling overseas since October but have stilled visited the forum religiously! Whenever I come across wifi it goes emails, Facebook, forum!

I'll do a comparison tonight :stuck_out_tongue:

Website stats can be read in many different ways. For example, do the WT stats include their iphone app and social media sites? To complete an accurate comparison I’d need to see how they got their numbers, but here’s ours:

284,000 unique visitors to WTForum.com, compared to 639,000 to WT.com
Impressions are a little harder to calculate, but “threads/topics” (any page ending in /viewtopic.php) were viewed 2mil times. That doesn’t include visits to the front page, forum home, messages or any RoarFEED activity. So, I dunno, throw another 0.5mil ontop of that?
2.5mil impressions compared to 6mil for WT and 5.4mil for the second best.

Not bad

I saw some stat a week or 2 ago talking about cricket websites. Apparently more people visited the Channel Nine website than cricinfo or cricket.com.au. I find that very hard to believe. I wasn't even aware of the Nine website…
