Greetings, Just over a week ago, I launched a website called The Ubuntu Counter Project (http://ubuntucounter.geekosophical.net).
The initial aim of the counter was the novelty of a non-official user number that people could put on their websites/blogs, forum sigs, email sigs etc. Basically, it was a 'fun' project for me. It took off. Like a rocket, I may add. In the past 8 days there have been almost 70000 unique visitors. Some figures from awstats follow: Unique visitors 69920 Number of visits 90065 (1.28 visits/visitor) Pages 361552 (4.01 pages/visit) Of these visitors, 3711 users have registered 5717 machines. The Counter has been through a digg.com digging, been added to the Ubuntu Wikipedia page and has been mentioned on newsforge.com and countless blogs. I do not yet know what potential the site holds in terms of long-term statistics, but the current ones are quite intriguing. I've started doing weekly statistic snapshots for purposes of growth and to monitor version/variant popularity as such. There's only one up so far, but then again, it's only one week since launch. Anyway, I hope you find the stats useful. -- Sincerely Melissa Draper http://www.meldraweb.com Phone: 0404 595 395 P.O Box 1412 Lavington, 2641 -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
