| Lots of guests online this morning! 15! |
|
| |
|
| Now it's 22 guests. Logging on at more than 1 a minute.
Who are they? Who are they? How did they find us? |

| DO we know where these guests are clicking in from?
The site statistics a few minutes ago showed that there were 225 sessions yesterday, around the March average based on the sessions this month figure of about 4600. So far today (around 10.30am) there have already been 118 sessions, a amjority of which I would assume were "guest sessions". Only a small proportion of these actually go on to register, but registrations do seem to run around 10-12 per day.
Comment has been made about how few of these new members have started posting on the forum. That would be excellent of course, but I think there'll always be a marked Pareto effect on that front i.e. more (far more) than 80% of posts will come from (much) less than 20% of members. The performance measures that really matter to "Brand Aisleyne" surely must have more to do with:-
1. Getting more visitors to the site, and giving them enough content to engage them, and keep them returning, but not quite enough to satisfy them, thereby encouraging them to register. A tricky balancing act.
2. Keeping the content fresh enough and up-to-date enough to encourage new members to keep coming back for more. A lot of laudable effort has gone into (successfully) improving the site's structure and design; attention will presumably now shift to the three things that keep 'em coming back - CONTENT, CONTENT and CONTENT!
3. Encouraging new members to get beyond lurking and into posting. I'll leave the "Great Forum Debate" to other FMs and other threads, except to say that think points 1 and 2 above are higher priority Critical Succees Factors to "Brand Aisleyne". Not thatI don't think that posting on the forum isn't important - I suggest my posting record speaks for itself on that score.And of course the killer differentiator for this site is in the forum - AISLEYNE POSTS HERE!! (Did I mention she called me "babe" in her recent post?)

| You never know where a new surge of traffic might be coming from. Possibly a link to aisleyne.com has appeared on a busy blog somewhere, or perhaps its a burst of through traffic from Ash's myspace page?
I put links into Brian Harvey's forum last week and I noticed one of his fans duly appeared in the invincible chat room as a result. We should all try and spread the word of Ash, even in hostile company!

| There are more people posting regularly on this forum then any other Aisleyne forum at the current time. |

|
| Are these "guests" real people, or is it some diagnostic test program or spyware or spider or something? |

| I'm sure most of them are real, although with any website a fair proportion of "hits" are provided by googlebots and so forth. |

If not sooner - registrations passed 900 this morning. |

When we get our 1000th member, I'm going to strip naked and dance around Trafalgar Square. Photos and video footage will be posted on the site.
EDIT:
I've just been advised by fellow staff members to slightly amend my earlier promise. I will now strip naked and dance around Trafalgar Square, but only if we don't get to 1000 members. |

Good thinking. We wouldn't want to have a disincentive for people to join  |

Don't worry, it's 1000 members ever, so Maringo's column will probably never appear in Trafalgar Square. |
