More Rambling
I could have continued this from the bottom of the previous post. I decided to do it separately after the two disastrous attempts to get the 2006 summaries on line.
As much as 2006 was a hard year to predict visitor demographics for Cards From Ogden Point, 2007 is starting off even more unpredictably.
www.ogdenpoint.ca has had 421 visits and 839 page views at mid March. http://www.ronmclean.bc.ca/ has had 328 visitors view 529 pages, and www.photoserver.ogdenpoint.ca sits with 367 visitors and1464 page views. Those numbers are all better than the 2006 totals at the same point in time so those sites appear to be getting a few more visitors. The PhotoServer page count suggests that someone may have actually looked at a full slide show or two.
www.cardsfrom.ogdenpoint.ca (Cards From Ogden Point) got off to a really slow start in January. Then February made up for the slow times. By Valentines Day at the mid point of February, there had been more visitors to Cards From Ogden Point than in any month in the site history. The previous visitor count records were held by May 2005 and December 2005 with 1,957 visitors each, and December 2005 with 26,394 page views. February 2007 ended with 2,786 visitors and 22,657 page views. That leaves it clearly as number one for visitors and a close second for page views. That represents over 4 visitors per hour and 33.7 pages per hour for the month. My Compaq in the corner was purring along wonderfully through all that. The reality is that a lot of the traffic came between the 11th and 15th with 5 consecutive days with over 100 visitors each and over 1000 page views each. Those 5 days are the busiest 5 day period in site history and represent 1,867 visits and 15,766 page views in less than 120 hours. The averages are 15.6 visitors viewing a total of 131.4 pages per hour.
The site won the CardMaster competition that was running for Valentines Day -- it was a strange win however because the 28% of the votes I got actually only amounted to 31 votes.
March 2007 is back to a much slower pace. If the first 14 days are an indication of the projected traffic, it will be a slow month. Easter comes at the beginning of April and Easter 2005 and Easter 2006 were busy times so March could just be slow in starting and get just as busy at the end of the month as February was. (I hope.)
The one other significant thing that is happening is that I am getting more feedback from Porn Sites, On Line Casinos, and "Pharmacutical" Suppliers than I am from visitors. I don't count the Spam that is picked up at my inbox as part of what I am talking about -- there is lots of that too. I'm talking about actual feedback and Guest Book signings that are being done by people on behalf of the Spammers. My feedback forms and guest book entry pages are Posties from the site. They need a human to fill them out and send them. Either Spam is very profitable, or some folks must have a lot of time on their hands.
