Answerbank webstats

[Obo]

Does anyone know (perhaps AB Editor would care to anser this) what the webstats are for answer bank, i.e how many hits, page impressions and unique users does it attract on a weekly/monthly basis?

[AB Editor]

Obo: I can't give too much away - commercial information and all that - but as far as unique users goes, I can tell you that Spellmaster is pretty unique! (Apologies for the poor humour, it has been a long day).

Traffic has grown significantly over the summer. The new Adverts section certainly helped. The number of visitors who don't post (but presumably read, digest and hopefully learn) is larger than you might imagine. But as for the details, that should remain as my little (big) secret.

What if I wanted to advertise on the site... would you give me the info then?!

Ab editor i find this attitude really unfair. To with hold this info is nonsensical unless your lying to the people who do advertise on the site about numbers surely you would want to shout long and hard about the vast numbers of visitors to the site. A traffic counter included in the site would be a nice addition along with a guest counter and members online also. You were asking for suggestions to improve the site and now you are ignoring the wishes of the very lifeblood of the site, the regulars who answer the vast bulk of the questions asked. Please have a rethink on this.

Maybe First Direct would know. ;-) (btw I notice the noise has disappeared - thanks!). I support AB Editor's right to withold this info for what surely must be good reason.
